Thats true, to a certain level.Last season, according to SuperBook numbers, each weeks teams that was favored by the most points unofficially went 15-2-1 straight up but only 5-13 ATS.So since 22, the weeks biggest favorites are 20-2-1 simply to win.

In three seasons at Carolina, he went 4-3 as a starter. In 15 total NFL appearances, hes hit 58 percent of his throws for 1,461 yards, five TDs and 11 picks.Second-year Niners QB Brock Purdy, meanwhile, continues to weave a gilded career.
