We've had weeks in the past couple years with some big dogs, but this week absolutely tops them all. The smallest spread for any game this Sunday is -5. Only two games out of 15 Sunday with favorites laying less than a TD?!? WTF!
I count seven underdogs with moneylines of +400 or greater. Bet 'em all, and if 2 of the 7 win outright you've made money. Possibly very nice money, with a couple of the ML's approaching +600. I am pretty sure that at least two will win outright.
Alternately...I may just bet every dog with the spread. There was a week ~sort of~ like this last year (though not quite as extreme as this week), in which there were 11 of 15 Sunday games with teams favored by 5? or more. The dogs only won two of those 11 games outright...but they covered with the points in an additional FIVE games...so 7-4 for the big dogs in that particular situation. I just don't see all these enormous favorites covering this weekend...won't happen.
I think it's time to throw all "football logic" out the window and just go with the math.
So right now I'm just torn on whether to go with the points or the ML. Weeks like this don't come along too often though...I am not going to let this go by. I think the ML route would be the more likely to be lucrative.
