There is no place like home is apparently the oddsmakers mantra when I started searching for NFL Week 2 predictions. The bookies have 12 out of the 16 games being played this weekend with the home team as the betting favorite.
After some disappointing performances several teams will jump off the page as huge underdogs in my NFL week 2 predictions research. The Kansas City Chiefs are the biggest opening underdog at +11 points and is already as high as +13 against the Chicago Bears at online betting giant Bodog. Expect the line to potential go as high as two touchdowns in this AFC vs NFC match-up.
After Pittsburgh's 34-7 demolition of Cleveland, the Steelers opened as a top heavy -9 point favorite against Buffalo at home. The early money so far has moved the Buffalo Bills to as high as +10 points at SportsBetting.com. Look for some money to move on the Bills after their close loss against Denver possibly closing in the -8 point range.
When doing my NFL week 2 predictions I noticed one betting line that looks to see some money move on the underdog. The NFL week 2 game in question would be the Houston Texans vs Carolina Panthers. Another AFC vs NFC match-up with NFC’s Carolina being a -6.5 point home favorite at online sportsbook SBG Global. The Houston Texans should see some betting action on this game possibly moving the line to -6 or lower.
One team that is being favored on the road this weekend is the Green Bay Packers at the New York Giants. The Packers have opened as –1 favorites but early betting action has moved Green Bay to a PK at BetUS.com. The Pack’s defense was stingy last week at home covering the + 3 points they were given while beating Philadelphia straight up 16-13 and this game will sure get a lot of attention when the experts release their NFL week 2 predictions. Eli Manning doesn’t look to be playing this game so expect money to pour in on the Packers pushing them to -3 by game time.
After the Indianapolis destroyed the highly regarded New Orleans Saints, the Colts have been pegged as a modest -7 point favorite against the Tennessee Titans at Sportsbook.com. The Titans pulled off an upset win against the Jacksonville Jaguars but they are continually overlooked by oddsmakers making NFL week 2 predictions. Look for the Colts to have lots of money poured in on them after their dominating performace, expect Indianapolis to close as high as -9 points since the general public will be betting this team heavy.
