Buckle up, we've got a week of competitive games coming up in Week 10. That's a lot of fun for viewing and with the use of recent trends, we can make it a fun betting experience as well!
Since the beginning of 2018, home teams favored by a field goal or less cover just 42.9% of the time, whereas home dogs by a field goal or less cover 56.6% of the time. Opening lines had five qualified games (three favorites and two underdogs) on this 14-game slate ...we haven't had a winning week for betting favorites since Week 5 and Week 10 might be another tough go of it! Before you lock in a single bet for the week ahead, make sure you check out where each team is trending ...
