The theme of Week 8 in the NFL was that underdogs won and bettors lost.
Even with underdogs covering everywhere, the NFL’s worst underdog still couldn’t cover.
Anyone who had the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night will argue they were robbed. Those who took the Cowboys as 10-point underdogs knew they were taking a bad team. But the Philadelphia Eagles were terrible too. Those 10 points looked good most of the night, until the fourth quarter when Cowboys fill-in quarterback Ben DiNucci fumbled and the officials refused to whistle the play dead even when Vinny Curry seemed to recover.
