The regular season is in the books.
Before taking a look at SportsbookWire staff’s Wild Card Weekend picks, here’s how favorites, underdogs and Over/Unders fared during the season.
Underdogs finished 145-120-6 against the spread (ATS). They squeaked out an 8-7-1 ATS win last week for their 12th ATS weekly win overall. Favorites claimed just 2 weeks ATS, while there were 4 ties.
It’s no surprise favorites dominated in the straight-up (SU) department, going 174-95-2. Favorites won 15 of the 18 weeks, while there were 2 ties and just 1 week when underdogs came out on top — a 9-7 upset showing in Week 3.
As for totals, Unders won 151-118-2. They went 9-7 in Week 18, taking 10 of the 18 weeks compared to Overs winning just 2 times along, while there were 6 ties.
