Underdogs often rule early in the season, and that again has been the case. After a 10-6 record against the spread in Week 3, they're now 29-19.
Just as impressive, road teams continued to fare well. Through the season's first 48 games, 24 of them have been won by the visitors.
It just so happens that I like a lot of underdogs this week, in addition to my fair share of road teams. My most confident picks ATS are the Patriots, Panthers, Browns, Jaguars and Titans. Tricky games to avoid: Vikings-Bears and Redskins-Giants.
