There may not be a better feeling in sports betting than cashing in on a big underdog. This past weekend, the NFL delivered for those diehard fans who felt like the rest of the world didn't give them a chance. Underdogs went 12-4 in the NFL this weekend, with nine of the 12 paying out on the moneyline.
Historically, Week 1 can be one of the wildest weeks of the season. In 2003, the Patriots opened their year by getting shut out 31-0 by the AFC East rival Buffalo Bills. Six months later Tom Brady was holding the Lombardi Trophy for the second time.
