T.M. Selection: Elks/Tiger-Cats UNDER.

I am on the under in the Edmonton Elks vs Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday. The Tiger-Cats have looked terrible to start the year, they had 1 decent game against the Stampeders but haven't done much in their other games with 3 losses already. They didn't score more than 13 points in 2 of those games and both of those games ended up going under this posted total. I think they will play a better game being on their home field here but I don't expect much offensive production from them with how bad they have been this year. Their defense has been terrible in their games too but I think that is a point they will try to work on here and win this game with a much better defensive effort. The Elks haven't looked great at all this year either, they are also 0-3 to start the year and their offense has looked just as bad as the Ti-Cats. The Elks have only put up 16 points or less in 2/3 of their games and their offensive effort wasn't great either in their most recent game. Their defense has also looked terrible but they gave up 59 points in their 1st game, and haven't given up that many points in their 2 previous games combined so a much better defensive effort from them lately. I expect their defense to continue getting better as they improve with more games under their belt and I expect them to focus on better defensive play being in this road game. I think both teams will try to win this game with defense and both have been so bad this year offensively that I expect neither team to do much when it comes to putting up points. I like the under here.

T.M. Prediction: 24-16 Tiger-Cats.
