Lions vs Elks Prediction

Edmonton comes into this matchup after having a bye last week, so they should be fully rested and ready to go. The Elks were one of the top teams in the CFL all season and their defense led the way. BC didn’t play great last week against the Roughriders, but they were good enough for the win. The Lions have lost two of their last three games, but they didn’t have a ton to play for down the stretch. This should be an excellent game, but I think the Edmonton defense has the advantage. Take the Elks to win here.
