Why does the public sometimes back underdogs?

Underdogs draw public money when there's a name-recognition pull (a popular team playing on the road) or when recent results have flipped the narrative. The line is usually still pricing the favorite as favored — so the public-underdog play is fading the line, not the other way around. See our methodology →
