Saskatchewan Roughriders at Edmonton Elks Predictions & Picks

Saskatchewan are tipped to cover as a betting underdog in the rematch of last week’s thriller.

These two teams needed a walk-off field goal to settle things in Week 8, and while it may not be as dramatic this time around, the Roughriders can, at the very least, keep it close once again.

  • The betting underdog is 8-2-0 ATS in the last 10 meetings
  • Saskatchewan Roughriders are 3-1-0 ATS in their last 4 visits to Edmonton
  • The Over cashed in last weekend’s meeting

Head To Head

  • Edmonton Elks lead the all-time series 97-71
  • Edmonton Elks won 36-34 when the two teams last met on July 23

Saskatchewan Roughriders Form

Saskatchewan head to Edmonton looking to avenge last week’s defeat to the Elks, which dropped them to 4-2.

The Roughriders enjoyed a successful start to their defence of the Grey Cup as they followed up a 31-27 win over the BC Lions with a 40-37 overtime success in Calgary.

They failed to make it three-in-a-row as they lost 40-34 to Toronto, but they did respond to that setback with back-to-back wins before the bye.

Saskatchewan downed the Redblacks in Ottawa, 27-22, before heading back home to blow out Hamilton, 38-7.

However, the Roughriders were again unable to string together three wins, losing 36-34 at home to Edmonton last time out.

Edmonton Elks Form

Edmonton go into this rematch riding a three-game win streak that has given them a joint best league record of 6-1.

The Elks kicked off the campaign with a 29-21 victory in Ottawa, and were able to back that up after an early bye week.

They beat Montreal 32-29 in overtime in the home opener, and followed that up with a 23-18 success in Winnipeg to reach 3-0.

Edmonton failed to make it four-in-a-row as they lost 34-26 at the BC Lions, but they have not lost since, issuing an immediate response with a 40-17 blowout of Ottawa.

The Elks then avenged that loss to BC, beating the Lions 19-17 at home, before heading to Saskatchewan to edge the Roughriders, 36-34.

Verdict

Edmonton are off to a flying start and just won in Saskatchewan a week ago.

However, it was another closer encounter in which the betting underdog covered, so give us the Roughriders and the free points in the rematch.
