Montreal Alouettes vs Edmonton Elks Prediction
The Edmonton Elks are playing their best ball of the season and I considered them and the boatload of points. However, you’re kind of waiting for the shoe to drop with the Elks. The Elks started the season with 7 straight losses for a reason and while he’s played well lately, McLeod Bethel-Thompson did lose his starting job to Trey Ford for a reason. The Montreal Alouettes are not only 9-1 SU, but they’re 7-3 ATS, which includes 4 straight covers. The Alouettes are an above average team on both sides of the ball, and they shouldn’t be a team you’re excited to step in front of. The Alouettes haven’t had much success as massive favorites, but I’m laying the points anyway.
