Bleacher Report's NFL expert panel took a slight loss last week, going under .500 on consensus picks for the first time since Week 3, but this isn't the time to get conservative. Ahead of Week 9, our crew listened to the dogs bark at the midseason moon.
B/R's NFL panel, which includes analysts Brad Gagnon, Gary Davenport, Brent Sobleski and Maurice Moton, along with editors Wes O'Donnell, Ian Hanford and Vince Michelino from B/R Betting Strategy, backed four road underdogs this week. Still, O'Donnell, our leading expert, sided with six teams favored by 6.5 points or more.
