The Edmonton Elks' 3-0 record appears inflated, with recent performance against weaker opposition and a significant loss to a struggling team. Key defensive line injuries for Edmonton, coupled with travel fatigue, create vulnerabilities. Conversely, the Ottawa Redblacks' 0-3 record is misleading, marked by narrow losses to stronger opponents and a home-field advantage with rest. These factors suggest a market overvaluation of Edmonton and undervaluation of Ottawa, particularly on the spread and total points.
