The underdogs are still upsetting the odds in NFL betting through the fourth week of the season. Going into the two Monday night games in the NFL, underdogs have gone 9-4-1 against the spread this week at the BetMGM online sportsbook. And then there’s Week 5 of college football, the WNBA playoffs, the Presidents Cup and the baseball regular season coming to an end to provide more entertainment. Only two of the five most-bet players to score an anytime touchdown managed to get in the end zone on Sunday — Marvin Harrison Jr. and Kyren Williams.
