The 2018 NFL season has been a ride.
Five double-digit underdogs have won straight-up this year—the Oakland Raiders were the latest to do so in Week 14—yet favorites are an even 13-13-1 against the spread under those circumstances. Granted, most spreads don't come close to that range, which makes sense considering that 54 percent of games have been decided by one score (up from 47 percent in 2017).
As a result, picking hasn't been easy for Bleacher Report NFL analysts Gary Davenport, Brad Gagnon and Brent Sobleski.
