Underdogs finally underachieved, going 6-8 against the spread in Week 7 for their first losing mark of the year. As the season progresses, and it's clear who are the contenders and pretenders, favorites tend to pick up some steam. That should be the case this week with some favorable lines.
Underdogs still lead with a 52-45-6 record.
There are four teams on a bye this week, another early London game and the Giants and Jets are both slated for 1 p.m. starts.
My most confident picks ATS this week are the Colts, Redskins, Vikings, Rams and 49ers. Two tricky games to avoid: Ravens-Panthers and Eagles-Jaguars. Remember, I pick every game so that you don't have to.
