There is a sweet science to picking NFL underdogs.
You have to make sure not to overreact to the last thing you saw and be wary of getting too high or too low in your opinions. Forking through the injuries, situational spots, and coach speak is a must to kick up any hidden advantages. And line value plays a big part, making sure you’re grabbing as many points as you can, in and around those key numbers.
But sometimes, making NFL underdog picks is as simple as selecting the best team getting the points. That’s where I find myself with the NFL Week 8 pointspread picks, siding up to some solid teams wearing the dog tags this weekend.
