Welcome to the Week 10 grades!
If you love rooting for the underdog, then Week 10 ended up being a pretty solid one for you. During the 1 p.m. slate of games on Sunday, we saw a total of five underdogs pull off a win.
- The Patriot went into Tampa Bay as a 2.5-point underdog and ended up pulling off a 28-23 upset over the Buccaneers. Drake May kept himself in the MVP conversation by throwing for 270 yards and two touchdowns.
- With CJ Stroud out, the Texans were a 1.5-point home underdog to the Jaguars and it looked like they were going to get run out of their own stadium. Heading into the fourth quarter, the Texans were trailing 29-10, but then they pulled off a stunning comeback to top the Jags, 36-29.
- The Jets were also a 1.5-point underdog and although their offense didn’t even produce 170 total yards, they managed to pull off an upset over the Browns thanks in large part to two special teams touchdowns.
- And let’s not forget about the Saints. They were a 5.5-point road underdog against a 5-4 Panthers team and somehow they managed to pull off the upset with a 17-10 win.
- Finally, we have the Dolphins, who pulled off the shocker of the day by destroying the Bills 30-13 in a game where Buffalo closed as an 8.5-point favorite.
It’s a good thing the early slate gave us so many upsets, because we got three blowouts during the late afternoon games and then another blowout on Sunday night.
So how did our dogs grade out? Let’s find out, starting with the Dolphins’ shocking win.
