2023 NFL odds: Big underdogs have huge day straight up
A touchdown point spread is notable for NFL games.
But Sunday was a day for the 'dogs, as three teams – the Arizona Cardinals, Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans – were underdogs of more than 7 points yet won straight up (SU) in Week 3.
The Cardinals (+11.5 points) shocked the Dallas Cowboys 28-16 to pay off on the moneyline at +500 (bet $10 to win $60 total) for Arizona backers.
