Agatha's pick for Elks vs Roughriders

The Elks. Agatha gave Edmonton a 57% chance to win. It was Agatha's prediction for this game, sealed and graded like every pick.

Why Agatha picked the Elks

The Edmonton Elks have won three games in a row, and the offense is rolling. They beat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 35-27 on Oct 16 and score 31.3 points a game while allowing 24.8 this season. The Elks went 7-3 over the last ten games, and they beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 27-12 on Oct 9. Agatha's prediction is a 30-28 Elks win, a little better than a coin flip. The risk is the Roughriders won the latest meeting 28-26 on Aug 1, 2026, and this game is at their home ground, Mosaic Stadium.
