This might have been the worst weekend ever for Bruins in the Pro’s, as well as for gamblers who like to bet on Favorites. SIX different NFL Favorites lost today. I don’t mean that they failed to cover the point spread, I mean they LOST, outright. And on those 6 teams, there are no less than ELEVEN Bruins on those rosters, who have to suffer the pain of getting upset.
The biggest shocker was in Minnesota, where the undefeated Vikings were installed as 17-point favorites over the winless Buffalo Bills and their green Rookie QB Josh Allen. The Vikings were so confident that they rested their Star Running Back and Star Defensive End, both of whom had MINOR injuries and would have played if the team thought it necessary (or if it were the Playoffs).
