Stampeders vs Elks Prediction
The Stampeders are getting a lot of love from oddsmakers because they are the better team and capable of a blowout win over an Elks side that’s been underwhelming. However, the Elks have won the last four games against the Stampeders.
We’ve also seen the Elks win and cover each of their last three games. Of course, we saw this last year when the Elks got off to a slow start and then started to play exciting ball while covering numbers. The Stamps can go into a hole offensively at times, and they’ve failed to cover three of their last four games. The hook could be key to us in this spot. Give me the Elks and the free 7.5 points.
