Things have a way of evening out in the NFL. Last week was all about the underdog, highlighted by Jacksonville’s shocking victory over Buffalo and Denver’s stunner at Dallas. Both winners were double-digit 'dogs. Expect the Bills and Cowboys, big favorites again, to get back on track Sunday.
Underdogs went 10-4 against the spread (ATS) to build on their season lead, now at 73-60-2.
My most confident picks this week ATS are Tampa Bay, Minnesota and Green Bay. I also like a handful of "against the grain" type of picks that might catch you off guard. There’s no true "stay away" game, but be careful with tough-to-call matchups like Cleveland-New England and L.A. Rams-San Francisco on MNF.
