Here are the Week 2 betting lines and NFL odds for Sunday’s games!

New Orleans Saints (-3.5) at Carolina Panthers 44.5

Time and channel: 1 PM ET, FOX

These two teams come into Week 1 with a winning record after markedly different wins. The Panthers beat a Jets team that looks like it could struggle, while the Saints surprised everyone by manhandling the Packers. The Saints have the superior roster in most elements and should be able to follow up a promising Week 1 performance with a win. But Panthers are sneaky good team and actually should be -1 in this game. PANTHERS +3

Cincinnati Bengals at Chicago Bears (-2.5) 45

Time and channel: 1 PM ET, FOX

Having watched the games Sunday, there is no real way the Bears should be favorites in this one. However, Cincinnati’s offensive line was a major problem in Week 1 — and the Bears are not a defense to face with offensive line issues. If Burrow can get time, the Bengals should be able to hang in there. Bears should be -4 according to Power Ratings so lay the -2. BEARS -2

Houston Texans at Cleveland Browns (-12.5) 48

Time and channel: 1 PM ET, FOX

For as well as the Texans played in Week 1, it is hard to imagine them backing it up this weekend. The level of opposition changes significantly between the Jaguars and Browns. On their part, Cleveland will be hurting after their Week 1 loss and could take that out on the Texans in front of their home crowd. But the Number is too high and the Browns are coming off emotional game vs Chiefs. TEXANS +13

Los Angeles Rams (-4) at Indianapolis Colts 48

Time and channel: 1 PM ET, FOX

This feels like a potentially tricky spot for the Rams. Coming off a Sunday Night Football primetime game into an early kickoff in Indianapolis is a tough spot. Meanwhile, the Colts got outplayed in Week 1; the lack of practice time for the offense caught up to them.

The situation is challenging for the Rams, but they put in a complete performance in Week 1 and should have too much talent for the Colts. Another trap play situation here as the public will be all over the Rams. Have to side with HOME DOG here. COLTS +4

Denver Broncos (-6) at Jacksonville Jaguars 45.5

Time and channel: 1 PM ET, CBS

We saw two polar performances from these rosters in Week 1. Denver laid down a marker that they could challenge for a playoff spot in the AFC, while the Jaguars looked like a team that might be picking high again in the 2022 NFL Draft. It is hard to see Denver not coming away with a reasonably convincing win in Week 2. BRONCOS -6

Buffalo Bills (-3.5) at Miami Dolphins 47.5

Time and channel: 1 PM ET, FOX

None of the AFC East sides looked convincing in Week 1. But what we do not know is if they faced tough opponents or just played poorly. The Dolphins forced a late-fourth-quarter turnover against the Patriots while a blocked punt beat the Bills.

This game will lay down a marker for the division, and it’s in Miami — the Dolphins may not have a better opportunity all season to take a two-game lead over Buffalo. The heat and humidity of Miami could be the downfall of the Bills. DOLPHINS +3.5

New England Patriots (-4.5) at New York Jets 42

Time and channel: 1 PM ET, CBS

Two poorly timed fumbles cost the Patriots in Week 1, but other than that, the signs were good. Mac Jones moved the ball well, and the defense did not let the Dolphins move the ball with any consistency. In contrast, the Jets looked woeful in all aspects of the game. PATRIOTS -5.5

San Francisco 49ers (-3.5) at Philadelphia Eagles 50

Time and channel: 1 PM ET, FOX

The Eagles were really impressive in Week 1, dominating the Falcons. The 49ers also looked good, at least until late in the fourth quarter. The 49ers should have too much in this one, but it now looks closer than when the schedule was released. But the 49ers opened as -5.5 point favs which is fishy considering power ratings make it only a PK.

Las Vegas Raiders at Pittsburgh Steelers (-5.5) 47.5

Time and channel: 1 PM ET, CBS

The Steelers laid down a marker with their Week 1 performance against the Bills. Going on the road and shutting down a team many expect to be Super Bowl contenders silenced a lot of critics. Now, they host a Raiders team coming off a short week after what should be a bruising encounter with the Ravens in Week 1. PITT -5.5

Minnesota Vikings at Arizona Cardinals (-4) 50.5

Time and channel: 4:25 PM ET, FOX

Based on the performances of these two teams in Week 1, this has bloodbath written all over it. Arizona’s defense should have yet another party against the Vikings’ offensive line. Meanwhile, Minnesota’s defense will hardly scare a Cardinals offense that clicked into high gear in Week 1. OVER 50.5

Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-12.5) 52

Time and channel: 4:25 PM ET, FOX

Speaking of potential bloodbaths, we have a rested Buccaneers team facing a frankly anemic Falcons roster. Much will be made of the Brady Super Bowl comeback during the broadcast, but it would be astounding if the Buccaneers do not lead this one from start to finish.) BUCS -13

Cowboys vs Chargers

This has “Game of the Week” written all over it, with two teams looking to be Super Bowl contenders this year. The Cowboys were impressive in the opener and could easily have won. Meanwhile, the Chargers overcame one of the best defenses in the NFL on the road. This should be a tight, high-scoring battle in LA. COWBOYS +3

Tennessee Titans at Seattle Seahawks (-6) 54

Time and channel: 4:25 PM ET, CBS

The Titans will be shell-shocked after Week 1, but they need to rebound quickly. In the Seahawks, they will not face a team as explosive as the Cardinals. Both of these teams play a more similar style of football and this could be a tight, run-heavy affair. Wilson and the Seahawks should just have too much, but it is hard to see the Titans being embarrassed two weeks in a row. TITANS +6

Kansas City Chiefs (-3.5) at Baltimore Ravens 55

Time and channel: 8:20 PM ET, NBC

The way that the Browns bullied the Chiefs has interesting connotations for this Week 2 matchup. If the Ravens can have the same success on the ground, they can grind the clock and force Mahomes to chase the game. The Chiefs stayed patient in Week 1, but can they do it again against a team that will look to dominate time of possession? RAVENS +3.5

Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers (-10.5)

Time and channel: 8:15 PM ET, ESPN

After Week 1, this is a terrifying Monday Night Football matchup. Until the fourth quarter, the Lions were a borderline unwatchable team. They picked it up at the end of the game, but can they do it for four quarters in Week 2?

As for the Packers, they are going to be in revenge mode. After a week of people questioning whether the Packers should have moved on from him, we could see Rodgers go big here. But is this line too high? It may be, as the Lions are being bet against by the public and the Packers are a public team.
LIONS +11.5
