I haven’t really seen this discussed anywhere, but Week 17 has been interesting with underdogs going 5–0 against the spread, and some winning outright. It’s obviously a small sample, but it does make you wonder if we’re seeing some late-season market inefficiencies.
This time of year always brings some weird dynamics: playoff pressure, teams resting guys, others playing loose with nothing to lose, plus injury and weather factors that don’t always show up cleanly in the line. That combination can make favorites a little more fragile than usual.
Do you think this underdog run continues tomorrow? Any games tomorrow where you see a live dog that has a realistic shot to win outright based on matchup or situation?
