Best Nfl Bets This Week
Similarly to last season, NFL point spread underdogs have been showing some real midseason bite.

NFL Super Bowl Picks and Best Bets. If this is your first time checking out my NFL picks or you aren’t sure what to expect, here’s how it works: Each week during the 2020 NFL season and playoffs, I give you my six favorite plays on the moneyline, spread or total. With only one game this time around, I’ll also include some in-game props.
Underdogs have gone 19-9 against the spread over the last two weeks and have won 12 of those 28 games outright.
We’ve taken advantage here in underdog corner, posting a 5-1 record to climb to 14-13 ATS on the season. Last week, two of our three selections were outright winners in the New York Giants and New Orleans Saints — the latter in stunning and smashing 38-3 fashion — while the Detroit Lions’ 34-20 loss in Minnesota denied us a third straight 3-0 week.
Favorites are due to bounce back this week, but we do like the looks of the following trio of dogs.
NFL underdog predictions: Week 10
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 2:25 p.m. ET.
Seattle Seahawks +1.5 (-110) at Los Angeles Rams
After their 5-0 start, the 6-2 Seahawks have dropped two of their last three contests and have allowed the 5-3 Rams and Arizona Cardinals to narrow the gap in the league’s most competitive division.
The Rams are coming off a bye and have won four of the last five head-to-head meetings with Seattle. The Seahawks’ lone victory was a 30-29 home win in Week 5 of last season.
Best Nfl Bets This Week 11
The Seahawks’ league-worst pass defense (362.1 yards allowed per game) is definitely a concern, but during the head coach Pete Carroll/QB Russell Wilson era (since 2012), they own the league’s second-best ATS winning percentages following a loss (26-12-3, .684) and as a road underdog (20-10-2, .667). That’s what we’re banking on here against a largely untested Rams squad that is 1-2 straight up against teams with winning records.
Look for an outright Seattle win in L.A.

Denver Broncos +5 (-110) at Las Vegas Raiders
Vegas has won three of its last four games and, at 5-3, has slid into the AFC playoff conversation as the conference’s current No. 6 seed.
The 3-5 Broncos, meanwhile, have won three of their last five games following an 0-3 start and are 3-1 ATS on the road this season.
The teams have split their last 10 head-to-head meetings with only four of the games decided by more than seven points.
Denver has shown some offensive life of late with 58 combined points in its last two games and features the better defense in this matchup. That should be enough to keep this one close.
Go with the Broncos and the points.
Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears +2.5 (-106)
RB Dalvin Cook and the 3-5 Vikes are cruising with the stud running back rolling up 478 total yards and six touchdowns in impressive back-to-back NFC North wins over the Green Bay Packers (28-22) and Lions (34-20).
The Bears, meanwhile, have dropped three straight after a 5-1 start but do boast one of the league’s better defenses with an average of 21.1 points allowed per game (seventh best) and 5.1 yards per play (eighth).
Against the run, the Bears are in the league’s top 10, allowing 4.1 yards per attempt, and have limited Cook to a total of 86 rushing yards on 34 attempts (2.5 yards per carry) in three career meetings — all in the last two seasons.
More importantly, Chicago has swept the season series the last two years, winning the four contests by an average of 7.8 points, and, adding it all up, it looks like the wrong team is favored here.
Bet on the Bears to cover and win the Monday Night Football matchup outright.

Best Nfl Bets This Week 10
One week you’re the flyswatter, the next you’re the fly.
That’s the up-and-down nature of sports betting, particularly on the NFL, and that very scenario has played out the last two weeks here in underdog corner. Following a 3-0 Week 13 where each of our three underdog selections won outright, we went 1-2 last week, dropping our season record to 20-22.
We did, though, avoid a total 0-fer with the Detroit Lions managing to cover by a half-point in a 31-24 home loss to the Green Bay Packers. Our wagers on the New York Giants and Jacksonville Jaguars failed to cover by 16.5 and 14 points, respectively, in double-digit home losses to the Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans.
So, on to our three Week 15 NFL underdog predictions …

Jacksonville Jaguars +12.5 (-110) at Baltimore Ravens
Yes, we’re going right back to the one-win Jaguars again, and this time they’re catching nearly two touchdowns in Baltimore.
QB Lamar Jackson and the 8-5 Ravens are the talk of the league following their highly entertaining 47-42 Monday night win against the Cleveland Browns, but the undeserved cover courtesy of the final-play fluke safety helps mask the fact this is essentially a sub-.500 team against the spread (7-6 currently). Now, it’s a prime letdown spot for the Ravens coming home to face the 1-12 Jags.
Also considering this is Baltimore’s third straight game on six days of rest, that should give a Jacksonville team that just reinstated QB Gardner Minshew as the starter under center a boost. Double-digit favorites are only 7-10 ATS against the midweek lines this season, and that gives us more reason to take the Jags to stay within 12 points in a loss.

Chicago Bears +3 (-115) at Minnesota Vikings
Including the Bears here last week as slight home dogs against the Houston Texans just missed our three-game cut, and consequently, we missed out on an easy 36-7 outright win as Chicago snapped a six-game losing skid.
The Vikings, meanwhile, have won four of their last six, straight up and against the spread, including a 19-13 Week 10 win in Chicago as 3.5-point road favorites.
Despite that defeat, though, the Bears have won four of the last five head-to-head meetings and have covered in five of the last seven.
Bet on DaBears.
Kansas City Chiefs at New Orleans Saints +3 (-105)
QB Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs enter this intriguing interconference contest with a league-best 12-1 SU record and eight-game win streak, but K.C. is only 6-7 ATS and has failed to cover in its last five contests.
Meanwhile, New Orleans is 10-3 SU and 7-6 ATS and is getting points for only the second time this season. That’s certainly significant as head coach Sean Payton’s teams are a league-best 23-9-1 (.719) ATS (17-16 SU) as an underdog (.719) since 2015.
Both teams are fighting for the No. 1 seed (and only first-round postseason byes) in their respective conferences, but the game is more important to the Saints who find themselves on the wrong side of the tiebreaker with the 10-3 Green Bay Packers.
QB Drew Brees returns from injury this week, so expect a minor upset home win for the Saints.
