Sportsbook ‘destroyed’ as bettors ride NFL favorites to winning week

It typically doesn’t pay to play favorites, especially in the unpredictable NFL.

But playing favorites paid off in a big way in Week 5 for NFL bettors, as favorites won 10 of 13 games while going 9-4 against the spread entering Monday.

“We had our worst Sunday of the year because of all the favorites that did come in,” Westgate SuperBook vice president Jay Kornegay said. “It was a pretty big losing day for us. But it’s all right. The NFL’s been treating us really well.
