NFL betting – Point spreads, over/unders for week 2 – odds, lines, payouts

As usual, week 1 of the NFL season was revelatory, showing us the teams which will be better than the preseason odds indicated (e.g. Cleveland Browns, Seattle Seahwaks), which will be worse (e.g. New England Patriots, Los Angeles Rams) and which just look crazy, like 15-2, good (i.e. Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, end of list).

With the very illuminating infusion of information, NFLbets takes a preliminary look at the pointspreads and over/unders for this week’s game. We don’t recommend betting these games four days in advance – injuries happen and diagnoses are revealed on off-days – but let the ol’ subconscious mull over these numbers for a bit…

• Los Angeles Chargers +4½ at Kansas City Chiefs, over/under 54½ points
• • Carolina Panthers +1½ at New York Giants, O/U 43½
• • Indianapolis Colts -4 at Jacksonville Jaguars, O/U 47
• • Miami Dolphins +3½ at Baltimore Ravens, O/U 44½
• • New York Jets +6½ at Cleveland Browns, O/U 40½
• • Washington Commanders +1½ at Detroit Lions, O/U 48½
• • Tampa Bay Buccaneers -2½ at New Orleans Saints, O/U 45½
• • New England Patriots -1 at Pittsburgh Steelers, O/u 40½
• • Atlanta Falcons +10½ at Los Angeles Rams, O/U 47½
• • Seattle Seahawks +8½ at San Francisco 49ers, O/U 42½
• • Cincinnati Bengals -6½ at Dallas Cowboys, O/U 44½
• • Houston Texans +10½ at Denver Broncos, O/U 43½
• • Arizona Cardinals +3½ at Las Vegas Raiders, O/U 51½
• • Chicago Bears +9½ at Green Bay Packers, O/U 43½
• • Tennessee Tians +9½ at Buffalo Bills, O/U 49½
• • Minnesota Vikings +2½ at Philadelphia Eagles, O/U 50½

All right, since nobody asked, some hot takes! The Dolphins, Saints and 49ers are getting too much respect, the Raiders and Seahawks perhaps not enough. And are the Vikings really going to win outright two games in a row as underdogs ATS…?
