When it comes to betting, those who set the lines want as many bets as possible to hit on both sides. Underdogs win on the point spread just as often as favorites. Scores hit the Over and Under. In an ideal world for those who take bets, an 8-8 week for both in a windfall.
Point spread favorites in Week 1 went 9-7. Over/Under bets hit Over nine times. Neither was a perfect split, but both were close.
