Edmonton Elks at BC Lions Preview & Picks

BC are tipped to cover the spread as they win their fifth straight game.

The playoff-bound Lions are enjoying their best run of the season so far, and they have dominated Edmonton in recent seasons.

  • BC Lions are 9-1 in the last 10 meetings with Edmonton
  • BC Lions are 8-2-0 ATS in the previous 10 meetings
  • The Under has cashed in 7 of the last 9 meetings
  • The Under has hit in 11 of Edmonton’s last 12 games

Head To Head

  • BC Lions lead the series 9-1 since June 2022
  • BC Lions won 32-14 when the two teams last met on July 13

Edmonton Elks Form

Edmonton head to British Columbia having won back-to-back games, but at 7-9 they remain bottom of the West standings.

The Elks dug themselves into a huge early hole as they lost six of their first seven games of the regular season, only to rally in August.

They reeled off three consecutive wins, before rebounding from a loss in Calgary with a 31-19 victory at home to the Stampeders a week later.

Edmonton failed to retain that momentum, as they were beaten 31-30 in Toronto and 29-27 at Hamilton, but they have got back to winning ways in recent weeks.

The Elks went into the bye on the back of a 27-25 win over Saskatchewan, and returned to action with a 25-20 victory over Winnipeg.

BC Lions Form

BC enter this matchup having reeled off four consecutive wins – their best run of the season – to secure a playoff place at 9-7.

The Lions endured a rollercoaster run during the first two months of the season, as they went 3-3 in their opening six games.

That continued in August as they started the month with back-to-back wins, only to then lose their next two games on the road, 52-34 in Toronto and 34-33 at Ottawa.

BC have found some form over the past several weeks though, sparking a four-game surge with a 38-27 win over Ottawa.

The Lions then beat Calgary 52-23 at home, before returning home to down Toronto 27-22 and Calgary 38-24.

Verdict

BC have a playoff place secure, but they will want to maintain this momentum heading into the postseason.

They are reeling of wins and boast a great recent record against Edmonton, so we are sticking with the Lions on Friday night.
