Roughriders vs Elks Prediction
It’s hard to step in front of the Roughriders, as they’re not only 5-1 SU on the season, but they’ve covered eight of their last 10 games. The Elks are a mess defensively, and it’s leading to a lot of ugly losses. The Elks have allowed 30-plus points in every game this season.
With that said, the underdog has covered five of the last seven games between the Roughriders and Elks. Also, the Elks have had an extra week to prepare, while the Roughriders are playing on just six days rest. While the stats and trends point toward another Roughriders blowout, there’s simply value getting a bunch of points with a team that’s had extra time to prepare. I’ll take a shot with the Elks and the points.
