This will be the final week of teams taking their byes, with the Falcons, Bears, Packers, Colts, Saints, and Commanders each off for the week. There is still plenty to play for across the league, with four of the eight divisional leads separated by a game or less.

It was a hectic Week 9 in the NFL. While favorites may have gone 9-4 outright, they were just 3-8-2 against the spread, with some surprising results being shown.

Following a hectic week of football and even more hectic NFL trade deadline, the pack is beginning to fully separate for contenders and pretenders. This became even more clear as the most trades on deadline day in NFL history were recorded in which players like Bradley Chubb, T.J. Hockenson, Calvin Ridley, and Nyheim Hines each saw themselves be shipped off to new locations. During Week 8, favorites went 11-4 straight up in matchups and 9-7 against the spread.

It was a difficult Week 3 for favorites in the NFL. Underdogs were 10-6 outright and 10-5-1 ATS in the madness of the week.

The NFL season continues with another flurry of madness in the Week 2 matchups. Overall, favorites went 10-6 on the week. However, their record against the spread was just 7-9.

It was an eventful opening week to the NFL season. Both of last year’s Super Bowl participants (Rams and Bengals) as well as both No. 1 playoff seeds (Packers and Titans) lost outright.

Overall favorites were 9-6-1 outright and 7-9 against the spread. The slates will be reset in Week 2 with a new opportunity for each team to change their fates.

The drought without football has finally come to an end, as NFL season is upon us. One of the best aspects that this brings on is NFL office pools, which are a great way to have a greater interest in the weekend's game and perhaps earn a little extra money. If you are new to this type of betting and are overwhelmed by the number of games and numbers thrown around, here is all you need to know:

Week 17 saw a bunch of teams punch their ticket to the playoffs, as well as clinch their respective divisions, but that does not mean there is no reason to tune in for the final week of the regular season. Even though favorites went 9-6 ATS this weekend, underdogs are still holding the edge for the season. What fascinates me is that even though the dogs are getting wins just 36.9% of the time, they have covered the spread at a respectable 52.2% rate. Be aware of what teams have clinched going into this week, as some may be gunning for higher seeds, and others are just trying to get in! Here is how I expect it to go down:

While Week 16 didn’t offer much by way of excitement, it was a relatively even week for both favorite and underdog bettors as the slate was split 8-8 ATS over the three days of action. On the season, underdogs hold a slight edge (124-111-3) and road underdogs are to thank for that record as they have 79 of those wins and only 61 losses (2 pushes). This week, there are a ton of huge spreads and spreads that are still up in the air because of COVID issues. Whatever side you are on, best of luck!

In what has been the longest and most chaotic NFL Week I’ve ever experienced; the results were exactly what you’d expect: chaos. You had the 1-11-1 Detroit Lions beat the 10-3 Arizona Cardinals by 18 points. You had the 10-3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers get shut out by the 6-7 New Orleans Saints on their home field. And you had the Baltimore Ravens nearly beat the Green Bay Packers with a backup quarterback under center.

I really hope I’m not too late to the party. I already am a bit skeptical of this card, and the fact that I am taking a majority of favorites on the spread for this week doesn’t bode well for my confidence level. Last week, favorites went 11-3 against the spread, and it gave sportsbooks their worst NFL week of the season. While I’m all for that, I find it hard to believe it’ll happen twice in a row, yet here we are, taking favorites. Good luck, and tread lightly.

There are just five weeks left in the NFL regular season, and the playoff picture is starting to take shape. Some teams are fighting for the No. 1 seed in both conferences, and some are just fighting to get into the dance via the wild card route. At the bottom of the standings, it’s the Lions who lead the way in the race for the No. 1 overall draft pick in next year’s draft, but they better not get too hot or else they could throw that pick away to the Jags or Texans.

As a football handicapper, it has always imperative that you learn something each week and then apply it to the following slate of games. Last week we learned that the Rams are not as good as everyone wants them to be and that the laying points with terrible teams such as the Texans is a bad idea. We also learned that bell-cow running backs have a very hard time avoiding the IR as we saw Christian McCaffrey and Dalvin Cook go down with injuries, with the prior missing the rest of the season.
