Elks vs Alouettes Prediction 

Montreal comes into this matchup on a five game winning streak and they have scored at least 31 points in all five of those wins. The Alouettes have had struggles on defense for most of the season, but they have allowed just 31 points in their last two games. Edmonton has won three of their last four games and each of their last three games were decided by exactly two points. The Elks have had a very strong season and I think their offense will continue to move the ball. Take the over here.
