Elks vs Lions Betting Preview
Elks can’t Seem to Put Everything Together
Anyone making BC Lions Elks CFL betting picks will see that Edmonton halted its seven-game skid to start the season last week. The Elks were able to win against Saskatchewan, which also had issues with its starting quarterback getting injured. Edmonton has gone 1-3 against the spread and is 4-4 against the spread this season.
Elks quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson has struggled with turnovers this season in the CFL stats. Bethel-Thompson has passed for 1,788 yards this season, but has thrown nine touchdowns against seven interceptions. Eugene Lewis has a team-high 405 receiving yards this season.
Lions Searching for Answers
Getting shutout in CFL schedule is a difficult task to accomplish. But the Lions’ offense was totally overwhelmed against Winnipeg last week. BC only recorded four first downs and that was with Adams playing into the fourth quarter.
Jake Dolegala is BC’s backup quarterback if he is forced into action. He has only attempted three passes this season. BC is 4-4 against the spread this season, while the Lions have seen five of their eight games go under the total.
If Dolegala has to step in at quarterback, he will have a reliable pair of receivers to count on. Justin McGinnis (780 yards) and Alexander Hollins (706) have both topped the 700-yard plateau so far this season.
