While the overall outlook doesn't seem so simple, the NFL's slate of Week 8 odds started simple enough.
As it should have on Thursday Night Football with the Miami Dolphins visiting the Houston Texans. The hosts entered favored by as many as seven points and started cruising early against the Brock Osweiler-led visitors, getting five touchdowns from Deshaun Watson in the 42-23 win.
Now for the rest of the week.
With a handful of massive lines and the rest small, some tough divisional matchups and some weird encounters fans don't see too often, oddsmakers seem to have an edge over would-be bettors who don't put in the proper time to prepare.
