The Argonauts' offence is just too difficult to hold in check with their increased ability to run in 2026 — up a full 1.4 YPC compared to 2025 — and the deep strike ability that former MOP Chad Kelly has brought back to the passing attack.

Both teams are averaging 69.7 combined points per game through three contests, evidence that the new 35-second play clock is outpacing defenses faster than sportsbooks can price it. This should result in another Over with the line sitting at just 60.5.

We'll take the good with the bad here with the Roughriders. Their offense has scored 30+ points in three straight, but defensively they've been suspect. I like the offense to keep it rolling, and the defense to limit a Redblacks offense that won't be able to keep pace.

I have no problem laying the spread with Edmonton, and I project the Elks as 2.5-point favorites heading into Saturday. The Apple Bowl doesn't provide nearly enough of a home-field advantage for the Leos, with the outdoor venue seating fewer than 2,500 fans. Edmonton is 3-0 ATS this season, while the Lions have helped cash the full-game Over in all three of their matches to start the year.

Opposing offenses have averaged 7.75 yards per play against the Leos, forcing BC into a pass-heavy game script for three straight games. Rourke has surpassed 290+ passing yards in all of those contests, with BC’s offense averaging 29.0 points per game — the majority coming in the second half. One area where Edmonton has struggled is penalties, totaling a league-high 29 alongside Calgary. Until Edmonton proves more disciplined, the Lions could benefit from drawing a few calls to keep the scoreboard churning.
