Randy’s Pick
The Edmonton Elks have improved their play over the last couple of months, but they’re still one of the worst teams in the league on both sides of the ball. The Toronto Argonauts have yet to lose at home this season, and they’ve been covering machines at home dating back to last season. The one thing the Elks do well is run the ball, but the Argonauts have the best run defense in the league. Give me the Argos by a touchdown.
