There’s No Need to Fear!

Underdog is here!

NFL week one was all about the underdog! No not that 70’s cartoon, the 8 underdogs who either won outright or covered their underdog spread. Parity has been an increasing trend year over year in the NFL but week one was crazy. Even the lowly Stafford-less Lions somehow managed to cover the +9 spread with a two yard TD pass with just about a minute left.

Will the underdog trend continue? Well its easy to say now but how could Vegas have thought ATL was -3 better than Philly, or been confident in Jax (even though Houston is a bit of a dumpster fire)? Its going to be an interesting week 2, just 3 games with over a touchdown line could mean the moneyline underdogs might be worth a look this upcoming Sunday!

While Campbell was story telling about swimming lions and people with missing butt cheeks I thought “Am I underrating what this Lions team could be this year?”…
