Everyone is high on the Argos after their 2022 Grey Cup win and week 2 victory over the TigerCats. But they were not dominant, especially in the air. The Elks improved defence held powerhouse BC to 22 points and QB Harris and Saskatchewan’s passing attack to 17 points. They haven’t given up a rush TD yet and that is the only way the Argos got TDs in their first game.

The Elks haven’t’ won at home in a long time but they are 8-2 in their L10 at home vs. the Argos and 7-3 overall in their L10 vs. the Argos. The Argos are missing their top 2 receivers for this game and their starting C Ciraco is a game time decision. Chad Kelly hasn’t proven himself yet; only one full game and relief in the Grey Cup last year.

Everyone is focused on the struggles of Elks’ QB Cornelius. He hasn’t been impressive, that’s for sure but the Argos will be missing monster DL Oakman and LB Muamba so the Elks’ iffy O-line might have a bit of a chance to help Cornelius out a little more.

6.5 is a lot of points to give the Elks on this one. I think they have a good chance to make use of those points and keep it close. Pick the Elks on this one.
