Redblacks vs Elks Prediction
I’m not excited to get involved in this game, as I don’t trust either the Redblacks or the Elks. With that said, the Elks head into this game in much better form, and they beat the Redblacks in early July as a 2.5-point underdog. Home field doesn’t matter when the Redblacks have lost three of their four games. I’ll side with the Elks, who are coming off back-to-back wins, but I don’t feel fantastic about it either way.
