Short Home Favorite Moneyline
Bets: Detroit Lions -130 vs. Washington Commanders, Philadelphia Eagles -125 vs. Minnesota Vikings
Odds: +238
Payout: $338.07 on $100 bet
No team has been involved in more close defeats over the past couple of seasons than the Detroit Lions. Since the start of the 2021 campaign, this Dan Campbell-led team has lost six games by four or fewer points, including the season-opener 38-35. Coincidentally, the team I am parlaying them with is the same team that defeated the Lions in Week 1, the Philadelphia Eagles.
Detroit hosts the Washington Commanders on Sunday, who are coming off an undeserving six-point win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Commanders needed two touchdowns in the final 10 minutes to secure the win, turning the ball over three times, with basically net-zero yards.
The Lions have plenty of bite with their offense and can burn past a Commanders defense that couldn’t contain the Jags.
Taking Dogs on Steep Spreads
Bets: Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears +10, Dallas Cowboys +7 vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Odds: +264
Payout: $364.81 on $100 bet
It’s too early in the season to write the Dallas Cowboys off completely, even after they lost Dak Prescott for the next six to eight weeks. The Week 2 betting line against the Cincinnati Bengals has moved substantially in the visitor’s favor. Still, it should meet some resistance around the +7 mark, leaving an edge in backing the Cowboys.
Dallas contained Tom Brady and company in Week 1 and could wreak havoc against a Bengals squad that gave the ball away five times on Sunday.
There was no injury on which to pin the Green Bay Packers’ struggles, making the 10 points they are laying against the Chicago Bears an ambitious target. The Packers put up 338 yards against the Vikings and were hurt by a lack of talent in the receivers corps.
Although the Bears’ defense is less imposing than Minnesota’s, it’s not a substantive dropoff as the betting line implies. Chicago could exacerbate the Packers’ horrid start to the season.
Totals Galore
Bets: San Francisco 49ers vs. Seattle Seahawks under 42.5, Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New England Patriots over 40.5, Las Vegas Raiders vs. Arizona Cardinals over 51.5
Odds: +596
Payout: $696.79 on $100 bet
The Pittsburgh Steelers were lucky to escape with the win on Sunday, giving up 432 yards, which would typically result in more than 20 points. They were saved by the Bengals’ five turnovers but still gave up a concerning amount of offense. Those problems will be compounded by the loss of T.J. Watt, who is out indefinitely with a pec injury, allowing teams to move the ball more freely down the field. Scoring should come easily for the New England Patriots, sending this one over a low total.
Similarly, the Arizona Cardinals let the Kansas City Chiefs walk over them in Week 1. The Las Vegas Raiders can unleash their offense at home, forcing the Cardinals to try and solve their early season woes on the fly. Of course, Arizona is an offensively capable team and could trade blows with the Raiders in Week 2.
One game where I am not expecting offense is the NFC West battle between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks. Seattle accumulated just 253 yards of total offense while containing their former quarterback in the season-opener. They’ll have less chance to get the ball moving against a Niners defense that allowed a paltry 204 yards against the Bears. Defense is the priority, and points will be at a premium.
