NFL Week 8 Trends: Fade These Three Underdogs (Video)

Based on NFL odds from the BetMGM online sportsbook, I'm here to provide two NFL Week 8 trends that have proven historically profitable for bettors.

The first trend looks at short underdogs in games immediately following blowout wins. Historically, these teams tend to struggle against the spread, especially in non-conference games.

In Week 8, three teams fit that profile: the Commanders and Seahawks as home underdogs to the Bears and Bills and the Eagles as road underdogs in Cincinnati.

Another NFL Week 8 trend I examined is the mismatch occurring on Monday Night Football.

Historically, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is brilliant straight up on Monday night. Meanwhile, Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has produced abysmal results in primetime.

Given the Steelers' lofty spread, I'm taking an alternate approach to Monday Night Football based on these records.
