Tiger-Cats vs Elks Prediction 

Hamilton comes into this matchup on a four game losing streak and they have allowed 37 points in back to back games. The Tiger-Cats are using a third string quarterback, which has not gone very well. Edmonton had their winning streak snapped last week, but they have the best defense in the CFL. I don’t see Hamilton moving the ball very well in this game, while Edmonton is itching to get back in the win column at home. Take the Elks to cover here.
