Favorites Dominate NFL Spreads as Week 8 Approaches

As the 2025 NFL season progresses into Week 7, betting trends heavily favor favorites who are dominating both the scoreboard and spreads, with underdogs struggling to succeed. Seven favorites won by double digits, and moneyline parlays involving favorites frequently paid off, causing losses for sportsbooks. This trend is expected to continue as strong offenses outperform weaker defenses, leading to more blowouts and fewer close games. In high school football, Week 10 marks the approach of postseason play in Southwest Florida, with numerous matchups scheduled, highlighting the regional competitive landscape. Additionally, the high school football playoff picture is becoming clearer in Iowa's Class 3A, 4A, and 5A districts, with several teams clinching district titles and others vying for playoff spots through at-large bids, setting the stage for the postseason.
