Underdogs ruled the NFL in Week 2, going 10-5-1 against the spread — and eight of those 10 were outright victories. Athlon Sports’ NFL staff picked 11 underdogs among their 15 best bets last week, going 8-3 in those picks. Will the trend continue?

It's still early, but it's also been a steep drop from two years ago when the Eagles were near the top of the NFL in nearly every defensive category.
