Half the games on NFL Sunday had underdogs at home, aka homedogs, and they preceded to cover six out of eight games. The Chicago Bears and St. Louis Rams were the homedogs that failed to cover.

The most surprising is the Buffalo Bills +7 cover and straight up win versus the New England Patriots. The Pats were up 21-0 before Buffalo picked off Tom Brady four times and dropped 17 points in the 4th quarter. A huge run by Fred Jackson prevented the patented Brady comeback and sealed the 34-31 win.

Also notable was the Indianapolis Colts +11 cover over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Kerry Collins was solid in the first half, and when he went down with a concussion Curtis Painter did enough to get them the cover. Also the Colts defense looked top 16 for the first time in years. Maybe it was because the real head coach, Peyton Manning, was in the building.

Other homedog surprises include the Oakland Raiders at +1 smash-mouthing the smash-mouth New York Jets with a 34-24 win and the Minnesota Vikings imploding in the second half (again) but covering the spread for the bettors that got them at 3.5. Those that had them at +3 got the PUSH.

Check below for the breakdown of all the homedog games:

• Buffalo Bills open +7.5 WIN 34-31 over New England Patriots
• Cleveland Browns open +1.5 WIN 17-16 over Miami Dolphins
• Minnesota Vikings open +3 PUSH with 26-23 loss to Detroit Lions
