I feel like Paula Abdul dancing with a cartoon cat through six weeks of NFL picks and predictions. I take two steps forward. I take two steps back.
Don’t get that reference? Eh, Google it and blame me later for having “Opposites Attract” stuck in your head.
I followed a 3-0 ATS Week 5 with a winless 0-3 ATS Week 6 for my NFL Underdogs bets, leaving me with an 8-10 ATS record heading into my Week 7 NFL bets. My up-and-down start to 2022 reflects the outcomes of many NFL teams so far this season.
It’s been tough for anyone to string wins together, outside of a handful of clubs. Teams coming off a win are just 38-39 SU and 37-38-2 ATS and teams coming off a loss are posting a 40-37 SU count with a 37-36-4 ATS outcome.
However, make those teams an underdog, and clubs coming off a victory are 21-16-2 ATS (57%) and underdogs coming off a loss are 22-14-1 ATS (61%). Overall, point spread pups are 52-38-3 ATS (57.5%), which makes me feel even worse for being in the red with my underdog wagers.
But if those roller-coaster results hold up, we should be in for a windfall in NFL Week 7. Here are my top NFL underdog bets.
