Fantasy Football: 5 Historical Vegas Trends You Should Know for Week 8
What do the odds say about Week 8 for certain players -- like Andrew Luck's record as a home underdog -- and how can your fantasy teams benefit?

Start Andrew Luck as a Home Underdog

The Indianapolis Colts are 2.5-point underdogs at home versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has only been an underdog at home eight times in his career. According to the Rotoviz Game Splits App, in those eight games, Luck has averaged 28.42 fantasy points per game. His career average in all games is 24.29 points per game.

To further back up this trend, the Colts as home underdogs have gone 9-0 against the spread since the start of 2012 -- the year Luck was drafted. That trend is remarkable.

This season, Colts games have gone over the total 6 out of 7 games, tied with the Atlanta Falcons for the highest ratio in the NFL. The total for this game opened at 49 points but has already risen to 50. This game has the second-highest total of the weekend.

Another reason to love Luck this week is his reduced price on FanDuel. Priced at $7,900, he ranks seventh among quarterbacks. This is the cheapest Luck has been since 2012. At this price, Luck is a no-brainer for cash games this weekend.
