Vikings vs Eagles odds

Opening line

The Vikings got upset by the Bucs at home in Week 1, looking terribly sloppy on offense. Philadelphia wasn't sharp either, barely leaving New England with the win and cover. Most books opened Eagles -7.5 but some shops hit the board with Philly -8. The Eagles did beat the Vikings 24-7 at home last September as 2.5-point chalk.

Packers vs Falcons odds

Opening line

The look-ahead line for this Week 2 game originally had the Falcons laying one point at home. But after the Cheeseheads battered the Bears in Week 1, books opened the official Week 2 spread with the Packers as 1-point road favorites. This total hit the board at a low 41.5 with two offenses anchored in the rushing game.

Raiders vs Bills odds

Opening line

Despite a belly flop against the Jets on Monday, Buffalo is a 9-point home chalk to Las Vegas in Week 2. This is the second straight road game for the Raiders, who also have to rise and shine for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff - or 10 a.m. PT back in Sin City.

Ravens vs Bengals odds

Opening line

What was that? The Bengals' offense was supposed to be lighting up scoreboards like an X-mas tree but Cincinnati flopped in Week 1, managing only three points on 142 total yards in a bad loss to the Browns. Baltimore scored an easy win over Houston in the opener but lost RB JK Dobbins for the year to an Achilles injury, and OLs Ronnie Stanley and Tyler Linderbaum along with safety Marcus Williams are all scheduled for MRIs after leaving Sunday's game. Cincinnati opened -3 but this could go up depending on those Baltimore injuries.

Weather

Seahawks vs Lions odds

Opening line

After an impressive Week 1 win at Kansas City, the Lions opened as official 5.5-point home favorites versus Seattle in Week 2. And with the Seahawks defense having a tough time with the L.A. Rams in Week 1, some books are up to Detroit -6. The Lions get a mini bye to come down from that huge win at Arrowhead and are 13-4 ATS at home the past two seasons.

Weather

Colts vs Texans odds

Opening line

We have a battle of rookie quarterbacks in the AFC South in Week 2, maybe. Colts first-year passer Anthony Richardson left late into Week 1's loss to Jacksonville with a bruised knee but said he'll be OK. This opened as low as Texans -1 but we're seeing some operators dealing Houston -2. This total opened at 41 points but has slumped to 40 as of Sunday night.

Weather

BACK TO TOP

Chiefs vs Jaguars odds

Opening line

Look-ahead lines have Jacksonville as a 3-point home underdog, but with Travis Kelce's status still up in the air and Chris Jones continuing his holdout, Kansas City is down to -2.5 at many books. The Jaguars got a scare from Indianapolis in Week 1 before coming through for bettors late while the Chiefs enjoyed a mini-bye to shake off their rough loss to Detroit last Thursday. This total opened at 50.5 points and is climbing to as high as 51.5.

Weather

Bears vs Buccaneers odds

Opening line

The Bears got rolled by the rival Packers in front of their own fans and now head to Tampa Bay to face the 1-0 Bucs, who shocked the Vikings on the road Sunday. This spread opened Tampa Bay -2.5 and many books have jumped to -3 after seeing Chicago stumble in the season opener.

Weather

Chargers vs Titans odds

Opening line

If you score 34 points, you should win the game. Only the Chargers would fail to come through with that many points on the scoreboard. Los Angeles is coming off a thrilling loss to Miami and hit the road to play a more methodical offense in the Titans. Some books were as short as L.A. -2.5 but the market has found a consensus at -3 on Sunday evening. 

Weather

Giants vs Cardinals odds

Opening line

The Giants have a great opportunity to rid the bad taste of a 40-burger from their mouths, opening as 4.5-point road favorites at Arizona. The market is down on New York after Sunday night's shutout loss to Dallas and this spread has quickly dipped to -4.

Weather

BACK TO TOP

49ers vs Rams odds

Opening line

An upset over Seattle isn't enough to win over oddsmakers, with the Rams getting a touchdown at home to the rival 49ers in Week 2. San Francisco's Week 1 waxing of the Steelers was more impressive and Kyle Shanahan has owned rival Sean McVay, with his Niners going 9-3 SU and ATS against L.A.

Weather

Jets vs Cowboys odds

Opening line

Look-ahead lines had Dallas as low as -2.5 this summer and this spread was Cowboys -3.5 after their impressive win on SNF. But with Aaron Rodgers' injury on MNF shattering the Jets' world, the official Week 2 opener is Dallas -8 with instant movement upwards to -9.

Weather

Commanders vs Broncos odds

Opening line

A rare loss in the home opener is not how Denver wanted to start the Sean Payton era. The Broncos stay at Mile High for Week 2, welcoming Washington. The Commanders kicked off their own fresh start with a win over Arizona, but it was an ugly victory. Denver hit the board with a half-point hook on the field goal and the total is installed at a low 40 points.

Weather

Dolphins vs Patriots odds

Opening line

The Dolphins were perhaps the most impressive team in Week 1, winning a shootout with the Chargers for a big road win. Miami takes that show to New England, where the Patriots and Bill Belichick's defense await as 2-point home pups. This total opened as low as 45.5 and has climbed to 46.5 with early play on the Over.

Saints vs Panthers odds

Opening line

The Saints squeaked out a win over Tennessee in Week 1 and opened as 2.5-point road favorite taking on Carolina and rookie QB Bryce Young. New Orleans' defense looked great, which has this total among the shortest on the board. The Saints have jumped to -3 at some operators on Sunday night.

Weather

Browns vs Steelers odds

Opening line

Pittsburgh was a 1-point home chalk on the look-ahead line before getting steamrolled by San Francisco in Week 1. Add in an impressive victory from Cleveland over Cincinnati, and this AFC North spread has climbed from Browns -1 to -2.5 at some sharper books.
