Morning Coffee: CFL Favourites Were Perfect In Week 9

CFL favourites were cashing at a 74.19 per cent win rate entering Week 9 of the regular season.

In last Thursday’s column, I wrote about the season-long trend and doubled down with another two-team money line parlay that featured the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and BC Lions as my best bet for Week 9. 

Both teams were substantial favourites at FanDuel, but a two-team parlay with the Blue Bombers and Lions to win outright netted -129 odds – a decent price, all things considered.

As it turns out, Winnipeg and BC cruised to lopsided wins.

The same was true for the other two Week 9 favourites in the Calgary Stampeders and Toronto Argonauts.

CFL favourites went 4-0 straight up and against the spread in the most lopsided week of the season so far.

With a couple of rematches in store, it will be interesting to see if that trend continues in Week 10. 

Here’s the TSN EDGE Morning Coffee for Monday August 8th, 2022.

CFL Favourites Complete Perfect Week 9

The Lions were the biggest of the Week 9 favourites at -9.5 versus the Edmonton Elks at FanDuel.

They went on to win their game by 32 points, clearing the spread by a 22.5-point margin.
