One of the easiest weeks in recent memory ended on a high note for would-be NFL bettors.
Monday night, the New England Patriots made Week 8 bettors happy by going into a game against the Buffalo Bills favored by 14 points and emerging with a 25-6 win, taking care of business even without a touchdown pass from Tom Brady.
It capped off a simple week where contenders took down bad teams and some of the predictable free fallers kept right on falling.
But Week 9 awaits and to say it is a more difficult slate would be a massive understatement.
