These two just played recently and Edmonton was winning for most of the game until costly mistakes led to a loss on their part to Ottawa in the fourth quarter. Edmonton is still taking bad penalties and turning over the ball, and not making defensive stops when they need them. They need to fix these issues and exercise more discipline if they want to beat the Redblacks. Their defense is so bad right now, they gave up over 530 total yards to Ottawa last week. They just fired their coach too, and they may not be able to implement all the new adjustments and game plan under their new coach in time for this game as it is a short week for them and a bad travel spot. The Elks may get an initial boost from firing their coach in this game, however, it will be hard to tell if it will last the entire game as their leads tend to unravel in the fourth quarter. They are riding a winless record of 0-5 this season, one of two teams still without a win, and face a gritty team in Ottawa, who are 2-0 at home straight up this season. Ottawa has already beaten the Elks on the road and are now back at home in this rematch game. This is going to be a close, hotly contested game that will be decided on the last play. This game could go either way, but Ottawa has the edge at home and has already beaten this team. The Elks are 1-4 against the spread in their last 5 meetings in Ottawa as well. Take Ottawa on the moneyline and remove the points as it has come down to a pick 'em.

Best bet: take Ottawa on the moneyline (ML).
