The Edmonton Elks look to stay undefeated ATS at home when they host the Toronto Argonauts at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton on Saturday at 3 p.m. ET (TSN).
Current CFL odds have Edmonton as a 3.5-point betting favorite at home, and my Argonauts vs. Elks predictions expect Mark Kilam's team to take advantage of Toronto's struggles on the road.

Who will win Argonauts vs Elks: Elks -3.5 (-105)
There's a reason the Edmonton Elks are among the Grey Cup odds favorites. They're one of the most well-rounded teams in the CFL this season, and no team in the league has been better ATS (7-2).
Edmonton has been at its best on its home field, sitting at 4-0 ATS. That spells trouble for a Toronto Argonauts team that's 1-3 ATS in its last four away from home. And with the Argos' defensive woes continuing, Cody Fajardo and Co. should be able to take advantage.
The Argos have allowed 31.1 points per game and 389.5 yards per contest this season, with their pass defence allowing the second-highest yards per attempt in the league (9.26). The Elks have a plethora of weapons, including star back Justin Rankin (the only player in the CFL with 400+ rushing and receiving yards), so Edmonton shouldn't have any trouble pulling away.
Given the Elks' prowess at home and Toronto's struggles on the road, I like Edmonton to cover any spread smaller than -5.5.

Argonauts vs Elks total prediction: Under 62.5 (-112)
The Argos have become an Under machine as of late because they're consistently getting inflated game totals. With an explosive offence and a shaky defence, Toronto hit four straight Overs to start the CFL season, but then its game totals jumped up as a result.
Toronto has now hit four straight Unders, yet its game total is still above 60 against an Elks defence allowing the third-lowest ppg in the CFL (27.6). Edmonton's also surrendering just 22.7 ppg at home this season.
With the Elks' D being as good as it is, the Under is in play as long as the game total stays above 60. This is the highest game total Edmonton has had in 2026.
COVERS INTEL: Since 2024, the Elks are 3-1 ATS against the Argonauts.Argonauts vs Elks same-game parlay
In four games at home this season, the Elks are undefeated ATS and 3-1 to the Under.
Their defence is at its best in front of the home crowd, and that should continue against an Argos team that's averaging just 25.7 ppg over their last four outings, down from their season average of 31.6.
As long as Edmonton holds Toronto to 28 or fewer points, it will be in good shape to cover and cash the Under.
