Commanders: Spread +3.5 (-110); Moneyline +155
Packers: Spread -3.5 (-110); Moneyline -185
Total: Over/Under 48.0 (-110/-110)
The Green Bay Packers made the most significant statement of Week 1 with a dominant win over the Detroit Lions. The Packers had been the Lions' little brother for a couple of years, but this is changing in the NFC North.
The Commanders picked up right where they started last year with a dominant victory over the New York Giants. Jayden Daniels threw for 233 yards with one touchdown and rushed for another 68 yards in the win.
The Packers have the better team on paper, but Washington has been great in close games with Daniels at the helm. The current spread makes Washington the more appealing side of the line.
Best Bet: Commanders +3.5 (-105) at bet365
Rams: Spread -5.5 (-110); Moneyline -250
Titans: Spread +5.5 (-110); Moneyline +205
Total: Over/Under 42.0 (-110/-110)
The NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year race is wide open after Cam Ward’s performance against the Broncos. Ward wasn’t very good in his debut, throwing for 112 yards while taking six sacks.
He didn’t have much protection, but this is something he’ll have to get used to with his current offensive line. The Rams' defensive front should have a field day against Ward, who didn’t look comfortable.
Los Angeles is known for their offense, but the defense will make the difference in Week 2.
Best Bet: Rams -5.5 (-110) at bet365
Patriots: Spread +1.5 (-110); Moneyline +105
Dolphins: Spread -1.5 (-110); Moneyline -125
Total: Over/Under 44.0 (-110/-110)
The New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins are both in a must-win situation on Sunday. It’s hard to declare Week 2 a must-win game, but each team isn’t very talented, and they need to stack wins to have a chance at the playoffs.
The Buffalo Bills are in complete control of the AFC East, and these two teams are vying for a Wild Card position. The Patriots lost by a touchdown to the Raiders, and the Dolphins were embarrassed by the Colts in Week 1.
The Patriots struggle in Miami, but they’re the better overall team.
Best Bet: Patriots +1.5 (-110) at bet365
Jaguars: Spread +3.5 (-115); Moneyline +155
Bengals: Spread -3.5 (-105); Moneyline -185
Total: Over/Under 49.5 (-110/-110)
The Jaguars' offense looked solid in Week 1 against the Panthers, but Trevor Lawrence still has a lot of areas to improve. Jacksonville ran the ball well with Trevor Etienne Jr., who had 143 yards on the ground.
Lawrence was 19-31 for 178 yards with one touchdown and one interception. For Jacksonville to advance to 2-0, Lawrence must be better because he has to face Joe Burrow.
Burrow was bad against the Browns, but the Bengals can explode on offense with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
Best Bet: Bengals -3.5 (-115) at bet365
Seahawks: Spread +3.0 (-115); Moneyline +125
Steelers: Spread -3.0 (-105); Moneyline -150
Total: Over/Under 40.0 (-110/-110)
The Pittsburgh Steelers looked like a potential AFC North champion in their win over the New York Jets. The Steelers defeated the Jets by two points in the season opener, and their offense looked legitimate.
Pittsburgh has lacked a starting quarterback for years, and now Aaron Rodgers is at the helm. Pittsburgh worked its play-action passing game, which helped Rodgers to settle into the game.
The Seahawks had chances against the 49ers late in their Week 1 battle, but Sam Darnold didn’t look comfortable. Both quarterbacks should be better, but Pittsburgh has the edge at home.
Best Bet: Steelers -3.0 (-115) at bet365
Browns: Spread +12.5 (-110); Moneyline +550
Ravens: Spread -12.5 (-110); Moneyline -800
Total: Over/Under 45.0 (-110/-110)
Lamar Jackson finished as the runner-up in the NFL MVP race to Josh Allen, and he also lost to the quarterback in the first week of the season. The Ravens coughed up an easy win against the Bills to open the year, and should come out very angry in Week 2.
The Browns played the Bengals tight in their first game. We don’t believe they stand a chance in Week 2 on the road, but 11.5 points is a massive spread.
We’re taking Cleveland because their defense should be able to keep them in the game. Joe Flacco needs to lead a few touchdown drives, but Baltimore’s defense was terrible against the Bills in Week 1.
Best Bet: Browns +12.5 (-110) at bet365
Bears: Spread +5.5 (-110); Moneyline +205
Lions: Spread -5.5 (-110); Moneyline -250
Total: Over/Under 47.5 (-110/-110)
Jared Goff is now 3-18-1 as a starting quarterback without Ben Johnson or Sean McVay calling the plays. Detroit didn’t score an offensive touchdown until garbage time in Week 1 against the Packers.
Goff was 31-39 for 225 yards with one touchdown and one interception. His pick came in the red zone at a critical time in the game. Sam LaPorta was the only bright spot for Detroit.
Ben Johnson knows everything about the Lions, and this will pay dividends in Week 2.
Best Bet: Bears +5.5 (-110) at bet365
Bills: Spread -6.5 (-110); Moneyline -315
Jets: Spread +6.5 (-110); Moneyline +255
Total: Over/Under 45.5 (-110/-110)
The Jets looked much better than expected in Week 1 against the Steelers. Justin Fields completed nearly 73% of his passes for 218 yards with one touchdown.
He also ran the ball 12 times for 48 yards with two touchdowns as well. Fields can give the Bills offense trouble because he’s very similar to Lamar Jackson, and the former MVP was a big challenge for Buffalo in Week 1.
New York is getting a full touchdown and PAT at home in this division game, which is a very juicy number.
Best Bet: Jets +6.5 (-110) at bet365
Giants: Spread +6.0 (-110); Moneyline +210
Cowboys: Spread -6.0 (-110); Moneyline -260
Total: Over/Under 44.5 (-110/-110)
The New York Giants dropped the ball in the season opener against the Commanders. They played Washington tight last season, but lost 21-6 to open the year.
The offense looked terrible throughout the entire game, despite Russell Wilson's efforts. The saving grace for the Giants is that Dallas’ defense isn’t robust.
The Giants must get the ball to Malik Nabers early in the game. They also have to find their rushing attack because Wilson led the team on the ground in the opener.
Best Bet: Giants +6.0 (-110) at bet365
49ers: Spread -4.5 (-105); Moneyline -220
Saints: Spread +4.5 (-115); Moneyline +180
Total: Over/Under 44.0 (-110/-110)
George Kittle is expected to be sidelined for weeks with a hamstring injury. This is a significant blow for San Francisco, but Christian McCaffrey appears to be healthy.
McCaffrey is one of the most talented players in the NFL. McCaffrey had 22 carries for 69 yards and nine catches for 73 yards through the air.
The New Orleans Saints shouldn’t provide much of a challenge for the 49ers as the game develops.
Best Bet: 49ers -4.5 (-105) at bet365
Broncos: Spread -2.5 (-110); Moneyline -130
Colts: Spread +2.5 (-110); Moneyline +110
Total: Over/Under 42.5 (-110/-110) at bet365
The Indianapolis Colts had the best start to the season in the NFL, scoring on seven consecutive possessions. Daniel Jones was slandered in the offseason for his play as a Giant, but he got a fresh start in Indianapolis and started strong.
Jones threw for 272 yards with one touchdown. He carried the ball seven times for 26 yards and two touchdowns. While Jones was fantastic, Miami didn’t provide much resistance.
Denver has one of the best defenses in the NFL, and the Colts should meet their match.
Best Bet: Broncos -2.5 (-110) at bet365
Panthers: Spread +6.5 (-110); Moneyline +245
Cardinals: Spread -6.5 (-110); Moneyline -305
Total: Over/Under 45.0 (-110/-110)
The Carolina Panthers improved a lot as the 2025 season developed. They were smoked in their season opener against the Jaguars.
The Cardinals took care of business on the road against the Saints. Kyler Murray progressed from last season, and they look like a legitimate team in the NFC West.
Best Bet: Cardinals -6.5 (-110) at bet365
Eagles: Spread -1.0 (-110); Moneyline -115
Chiefs: Spread +1.0 (-110); Moneyline -105
Total: Over/Under 47.0 (-110/-110)
The Kansas City Chiefs are the only team in the AFC West that has not won a game after the first week. It’s early, but the Chiefs didn’t look good in their season opener against the Chargers.
The Eagles crushed the Chiefs in the Super Bowl last season, and this game may follow the same trajectory. We fear that the best of Kansas City is in the rearview mirror.
Best Bet: Eagles -1.0 (-110) at bet365
Falcons: Spread +5.0 (-110); Moneyline +190
Vikings: Spread -5.0 (-110); Moneyline -230
Total: Over/Under 45.5 (-110/-110)
The Atlanta Falcons lost on a missed field goal to their NFC South rivals, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in Week 1. While the Falcons didn’t make plays in crunch time, they still had a solid passing game with Michael Penix Jr.
Minnesota’s defense is legitimate, but Penix Jr. is ahead of JJ McCarthy in the developmental process.
Best Bet: Falcons +5.0 (-110) at bet365
Buccaneers: Spread +3.0 (-120); Moneyline +125
Texans: Spread -3.0 (+100); Moneyline -150
Total: Over/Under 42.5 (-110/-110)
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have dominated the NFC South for years. They’re consistently disrespected, and we think this line is off on Bet365.
Tampa Bay should be favored in this contest. The Houston Texans didn’t have a good opener, and the Buccaneers present a lot of challenges on both sides of the ball.
Best Bet: Buccaneers +3.0 (-120) at bet365
Chargers: Spread -3.5 (-105); Moneyline -190
Raiders: Spread +3.5 (-115); Moneyline +160
Total: Over/Under 47.0 (-110/-110)
The Las Vegas Raiders started their season with a win over the Patriots. This was an impressive win for the Raiders, even though the Patriots aren’t as good as people thought.
Nevertheless, the Chargers have extended rest, and they’re the better team. The winner will move to first place in the AFC West, making this game critical, and we give the edge to the Chargers.
Best Bet: Chargers -3.5 (-105) at bet365
