We have officially entered the season of snow football, where good running backs become even more valuable. Four games in Week 17 take place in domes, but that means 12 games are subject to the elements, where a top back is worth his weight in a Northeast snowfall. As for which backs deserve your prop […]
The ATS penthouse has a new solo tenant (as does the ATS outhouse). Double-digit favorites continue to pay off. Prime-time favorites are enjoying a resurgence. And after a very brief hiatus, the prime-time Under train is rolling once again. We cover all these topics and more — including breaking down this season’s most profitable favorites […]
When it comes to rushing props, I tend to favor finding reliable, stud running backs. We can check that box quite easily when we consider Nick Chubb’s rushing over in Week 17. Chubb is averaging 95.3 rushing yards per game on the season, taking no fewer than 17 carries in three straight games. Chubb and […]
In this very column last week, you were told that Joe Burrow made for a good OVER on his 253.5 yards passing. No, I didn’t predict that he would go OVER by halftime or that he would more than double the line and throw for 525 yards by the end of the game. But since […]
Even when Derrick Henry ran for 2,000 yards last season, he didn’t get a single vote for MVP. Those votes all went to winner Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, and Patrick Mahomes. So an MVP award isn’t in the cards for Jonathan Taylor this season, nor has it been for a non-quarterback since 2012, when Adrian Peterson […]
It’s been a great month of December for the Rams. They are 4-0 for the month, and they went from two games out in the NFC West to sole possession of the first place. They also learned that even when Matthew Stafford is off, as he was in Week 16, they can still play winning […]
If you were betting a Justin Herbert interception prop last week when his Chargers were taking on the Houston Texans, the answer would have been no, don’t bet on him throwing an interception. The game was simply too important for L.A., and he’s too good. Then Herbert threw two interceptions, and in one of the biggest shocks […]
The Cowboys actually clinched the NFC East before they exploded for 56 points against Washington on Sunday night. So if that is any indication of how they plan to play, the rest of the NFL needs to watch out. This week it’s a matchup against an old division rival and one that is desperate for […]
NFL Week 16 odds reveal a host of intriguing games that could help bring focus to the playoff picture. Now we just have to hope COVID doesn’t spoil the holiday photo. Provided all systems are go, the marquee matchup features the Buffalo Bills traveling to face the New England Patriots in a quick-turnaround (and highly […]

First, however, if you’re new to Underdog Fantasy, have no fear. It’s easy to get started. Here’s how it works: Create an account […]
Right now both the Saints and Dolphins are out of the playoffs. Miami is 7-7, a game behind the seventh seed in the AFC, while the Saints are 7-7 and only behind the NFC’s seventh seed because of a tiebreaker. If there are any two teams that could end up surprising their way into the […]
NFL Week 16 odds are of course being impacted by injury news, but more so once again by COVID. From the high-flying Kansas City Chiefs to the grounded New York Jets, positive tests are mounting across the league. That’s led to significant line moves and, in some instances, games coming off the board until there’s […]
