Argonauts vs Elks Prediction 

Toronto comes into this matchup on a two game winning streak, but they have lost three of their last four road games. The Argonauts have allowed 30+ points in three of their last five games and the offense has been hit or miss. Edmonton has lost two in a row and they have allowed 34+ points in three of their last five, including 48 last week. The Elks are the better team on both sides of the ball and I like them to cover here.
