Redblacks vs Elks Betting Pick
Elks PK (-110) over Redblacks
Why Bet on the Elks:
✅ The Elks are coming off of their first win of the season, in which they played well defensively on the road against Hamilton. Look for them to build on that with a win at home in this contest.
✅ Ottawa has really struggled of late, losing four games in a row despite some momentum early into Dustin Crum’s time at quarterback.
✅ Ottawa is 1-4 on the road this season, and they are the perfect candidate to allow the Elks to break their home losing streak.
This game will be played at Commonwealth Stadium at 7:00 PM ET on Sunday, August 27, 2023.
Ottawa Redblacks
The Ottawa Redblacks have fallen apart over the last month, dropping four games in a row heading into Week 12. Their most recent loss came by a point against the Montreal Alouettes, in which the Redblacks blew a 14-point fourth quarter lead. Here, the Redblacks will look to get back on track, but will need to play four solid quarters of football to beat the Elks.
So far this season, road games have been a huge problem for the Redblacks, as they are just 1-4 away from Ottawa. Included in that 1-4 road record are losses to struggling teams in Saskatchewan and Hamilton. It is entirely possible that the Elks beat them in Edmonton here as well.
Edmonton Elks
For the Edmonton Elks, losing at home has become a way of life. But they could finally get back into the win column at home on Sunday, as they host a struggling Redblacks squad. The question is whether or not the Elks can execute consistently enough to pick up a home win, and a second straight win after an 0-9 start.
While the Elks have really struggled all season long, they do have more offensive touchdowns than Ottawa this season. To win this game, the Elks simply must avoid turnovers that can turn into defensive scores for the Redblacks. While Edmonton is tied for the most turnovers in the league, the blueprint to win this game is clear.
