Exciting Weekend in Sports
It was another exciting weekend in sports, with plenty of action and drama for fans and bettors alike. From college football to the NFL and Major League Baseball, there were many thrilling moments that kept everyone on the edge of their seats.
Trends of the Week
Favorites have been on a roll, with a 10-2 straight-up record going into Monday Night Football. The only two losses were suffered by the Steelers on Thursday Night Football and the Chargers on Sunday. This trend has been a boon for bettors who have been backing the favorites, but a nightmare for those who have been betting on the underdogs.
Wildest Game of the Week
The wildest game on Sunday was between the Giants and Broncos, with Denver scoring an astonishing 33 points in the fourth quarter to win 33-32. Despite being 7.5-point favorites, the Broncos failed to cover the spread, but they still managed to pull off an incredible comeback. The Broncos took in 49% of the bets and 59% of the money in against-the-spread betting, making them a popular choice among bettors.
Upsets of the Week
The only upset on Sunday was the Colts’ (+2) impressive victory over the Chargers, winning 38-24 on the road. The Colts took in just 34% of the bets and 14% of the money in against-the-spread betting, making them a surprise winner. The Colts are now 6-1 on the year and would be the No. 1 seed in the AFC if the playoffs began today.
College Football Upsets
On Friday, No. 2 Miami suffered a surprise loss to Louisville, going down 24-21 at home. Miami was an 11.5-point favorite and took in 41% of the bets and 64% of the money, making the loss even more shocking. This upset was a major blow to Miami’s chances, and it will be interesting to see how they bounce back from this loss.
