Week 2 in the NFL saw several teams pull off some notable upsets.
Underdogs are 8-5-1 against the spread (ATS) and 7-7 straight up (SU) heading into Sunday Night Football, including the Thursday night game.
Seven underdogs winning straight up? This is only the third time that’s happened in Week 2 in the last nine seasons (seven won in 2016 and 2018).
The largest underdog to win was the Las Vegas Raiders, who took down the Baltimore Ravens as nine-point road underdogs.
It should also be mentioned that the Cincinnati Bengals covered as six-point underdogs despite losing to the Kansas City Chiefs, and the New England Patriots pushed in overtime as three-point ‘dogs against the Seattle Seahawks.
