Randy’s Pick

The Edmonton Elks are a mess of a football team that can’t win, can’t cover numbers, has shown no signs of life offensively and can’t stop the run defensively. The Saskatchewan Roughriders already beat Edmonton on the road this season and has had an extra week to prepare for this game. The Roughriders have had their issues ATS as well, but it’s without a doubt who the better team is, and being at home with the rest advantage can’t hurt. Give me Saskatchewan in a comfortable victory.
