Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Edmonton Elks Preview & Picks

Hamilton are tipped to cover as they extend their win streak in Edmonton.

The Tiger-Cats are one of the hottest teams in the CFL right now, while the Elks continue to stack up losses while rarely covering the spread.

  • Hamilton Tiger-Cats are on a 5-game win streak
  • Hamilton Tiger Cats are 4-1-0 ATS in their last 5 games
  • Edmonton Elks are 2-4 so far this season
  • The Over has cashed in 4 of the last 5 meetings

Head To Head

  • Edmonton Elks lead the series 3-2 since July 2022
  • Edmonton Elks won 47-22 when the two teams last met in August 2024

Hamilton Tiger-Cats Form

Hamilton go into this matchup as one of the hottest teams in the CFL, having rebounded from a bad start with a five-game win streak.

The Tiger-Cats opened with a 38-26 defeat in Calgary, and then fell to 0-2 as they were beaten 28-23 at home by Saskatchewan.

They have been red-hot since returning from the bye week though, sparking a five-game tear with a 35-17 win over Montreal.

Hamilton then recorded a 51-38 victory in Toronto, before taking back-to-back meetings with Ottawa, winning 23-20 at home and 30-15 on the road.

The Tiger-Cats kept that streak going last weekend as they went back out on the road to beat the BC Lions 37-33.

Edmonton Elks Form

Edmonton enter this game in serious need of a win, having lost five of the first six games on their schedule.

The Elks kicked things off with a 31-14 defeat at the BC Lions, before returning from an early bye with a 38-28 defeat to Montreal.

Their losing run reached three games with a 36-33 defeat in Winnipeg, before they finally broke their duck with a 39-33 victory over Ottawa.

Edmonton failed to back that up though, going into their second bye week of the season on the back of a 32-14 loss to BC.

That became back-to-back defeats last time out, as they returned to action with a 21-18 defeat in Saskatchewan.

Verdict

Hamilton struggled early, but they have roared into life over the past several weeks.

The Tiger-Cats are the hotter hands, so we are backing the visitors to add to the Elks’ problems here.
