Morning Coffee: Blue Bombers Still Perfect After A Narrow Win In Toronto

The final game of Week 4 in the CFL went down to the wire last night.

In the end, the favourite won and the underdog covered.

For the first time since 2018, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers beat the Toronto Argonauts in a road game last night.

The Blue Bombers, which led by 14 at the half, gave up a touchdown with 30 seconds left on the clock in the fourth quarter that set up the potential game-tying extra point. 

However, Boris Bede pushed the extra point wide, and Winnipeg held on for the win to improve to 4-0 this season.

CFL favourites have dominated straight-up early on, but it’s been a much different story against the spread.

Meanwhile, all four games went over the total in Week 4, which is one of many things we will keep in mind as we turn the page to Week 5.

Here’s the TSN EDGE Morning Coffee for Tuesday July 5th, 2022.

Blue Bombers Hang On For Win Over Argos

Zach Collaros delivered another efficient performance on Monday night, going 25-of-31 for 215 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

Winnipeg’s defence delivered again, recording three sacks, two interceptions including a pick-six, and a fumble recovery.

Still, they were nearly tied in the final seconds when this happened.

  The two-time defending Grey Cup champions improved to 4-0 straight up with a win in Toronto.

While the Blue Bombers held on for the victory, they failed to cover the second time this season.

If you followed the line move, then you ended up on the right side ATS as Winnipeg went from -4.5 to -3.5 at FanDuel by kick-off.

"When your defence creates that many turnovers and scores a touchdown, the game shouldn't be as close as it was... We have to get better." » https://t.co/CoZZk2IDfi#ForTheW
