Road underdogs didn't run a 7-1 week like they did in Week 3, but the trend still persists across the board — bet them ATS over the long run.

Road dogs were a solid 6-4 ATS last week, bringing their total record to 379-298-19 ATS since the 2018 NFL season. That's good for more than a 7% ROI and a profit of over $5,600 for $100 per game bettors.

Of course, double, triple or quadruple that for higher unit-sized bettors. A $500 per game bettor would be up about $28,000 over the last four years.

The moneyline has served bettors extremely well, too.

Year-to-date, road underdogs on the moneyline have netted $100 per game bettors $1,121.

Again, quintuple that for $500 per game bettors. Had you tailed every road underdog at their market-best price since September, at a $500 clip, you'd be up over $5,600.
