Argonauts picks and predictions at Elks

Prediction

Elks 23, Argonauts 20

Money line

With the Argonauts having nothing to play for and having five key starters rested – Kelly, Carey, Hunter, Giffen and Allen – the Elks (-200) will likely win at home in their season finale. However, this line has too much vigor to recommend the ML.

PASS. Instead, bet the spread and/or the total.

Against the spread

QB Cameron Dukes will depart for Toronto. While he’s obviously not as productive as Kelly, he’s still serviceable with 11 total TDs (7 passing, 4 rushing) and 6 INTs this season. Dukes was the starter in the June 22 meeting between these teams and completed 18 of 21 passes for 214 yards with 2 touchdowns.

The Argonauts resting a few key starters is certainly a concern, but the Dukes getting 3.5 points against Edmonton seems like an overreaction to the fact that Toronto has already clinched the 2nd seed in the East.

ARGONAUTES BET +3.5 (-105).

More/Less

The Elks have scored 24 points or less in 3 of their last 4 games. The Argonauts have allowed 17 or fewer in 2 straight road games – and they did it against much better competition from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and BC Lions.

In a game that has no playoff implications, it may result in fewer points with several offensive starters out.

BET UNDER 48.5 (-110).
