FrontPageBets' Mike Szvetitz likes the underdogs this weekend, which are winning at a 58% clip against the spread this season.
By Mike Szvetitz FrontPageBets This week we're seeing some of the largest spreads of the young NFL season, including a two-touchdown spot and five others of seven points or more.
Considering underdogs are covering 58% of the time, according to TeamRankings.com, running with the dogs isn't the worst idea.So as Week 5 kicks off, out of the 15 games on the Sunday and Monday's slate, I'm going with spread bets on eight underdogs, and three to win straight up. The eight I picked are a combined 18-12-2 ATS this season, including the Atlanta Falcons, who are undefeated against the spread and all as the underdog. The Detroit Lions and New York Giants are 3-1 ATS, as well, including both 2-0 as the underdogs.
