NFL Week 7 betting: Expert breaks down underdog betting strategies, including for Vikings vs. Eagles

The article discusses two betting strategies for NFL underdogs in Week 7, as identified by SportsLine expert Jeff Hochman. Firstly, Hochman suggests that underdogs with a strong offense and an improving defense can be valuable bets, as their offense can keep them in the game, while their defense can prevent the favorite from pulling away. This strategy could apply to the Minnesota Vikings, who are facing the Philadelphia Eagles. Secondly, Hochman advises considering underdogs with a head coach who has a proven track record of success. These teams are often undervalued by the market, as the head coach's ability to prepare the team and make in-game adjustments can give the underdog a better chance of covering the spread or even winning outright. The article does not provide specific picks or predictions, but rather highlights two general betting strategies that can be applied to identifying valuable underdog bets in the NFL.
