The NFL’s Week 8 was a big week for underdogs, and consequently a big week for sportsbooks.
Underdogs were 8-4 against the spread on Sunday, including six outright winners. Couple in the Atlanta Falcons upset over the Carolina Panthers as 1.5-point underdogs on Thursday night, and you’ve got a 9-4 mark with seven outright victories for underdogs entering Monday Night Football.
The public loves favorites, so it was the worst Sunday of the 2020 NFL season for the betting public. And it was a beautiful day in Las Vegas for the folks over at BetMGM.
