2024 NFL Week 2 Spreads, Money Lines and Totals

NFL Week 2 Spreads, Money Lines and Totals

The two Super Bowl favorites started the 2024 season with impressive victories as the Kansas City Chiefs took out Baltimore, 27-20, in a rematch of last season’s AFC Championship. Playing without the NFL’s leading rusher from a season ago the San Francisco 49ers spoiled the return of Aaron Rodgers in their 32-19 cover against the Jets. Those games went according to the script with the favored team winning, but there were some that didn’t follow the plan. Three underdogs won their opener outright with the New England Patriots surprising Cincinnati, 16-10, catching 7.5-points. Dallas (+2) and Pittsburgh (+4) also prevailed in Week 1.

It’s easy to overreact after one game but that’s not a good idea from a betting perspective. I don’t think the Patriots are going to win the AFC and the Ravens will likely be fighting for the AFC Central title. Baltimore hosts the Raiders in Week 2 as the biggest favorite on the early betting board laying 9.5-points. The betting week starts with an AFC East showdown between the Bills and Dolphins, who each overcame slow starts to win their opener. Buffalo has won nine of the last 10 meetings but they are a 2-point dog on the early line.

After besting the Rams in a rematch of last season’s wild card playoff game, the Lions get another showdown with a playoff opponent hosting the Buccaneers on Sunday. Detroit advanced to its second NFC Championship game by beating Tampa 31-23 in last season’s divisional round and they are poised for a return trip. Since midway through the 2022 season the Lions are 14-5 at home with 13 payouts. Detroit opened as a 7-point favorite with the total of 51 the highest on the Week 2 betting board.

It wasn’t a good start for quarterbacks drafted in the first round of the most recent draft proving just how difficult it is to play the position in this league. No. 1 overall selection Caleb Williams had less than 100 yards passing and failed to orchestrate a touchdown drive but the Bears still won, beating Tennessee, 24-17, thanks to a blocked punt and interception that were returned for scores. They had 148 total yards and were 2 of 13 on third downs. The Bears will take the end result and hope that the offense improves. They visit Houston on Sunday Night Football as a 7-point dog in one of six games between teams that are 1-0.

Jayden Daniels, the No. 2 overall pick in this year’s draft, had better numbers but his Commanders were a bust against Tampa Bay, falling 37-20. Daniels rushed for a game-high 88 yards and two TDs on 16 attempts and was 17 of 24 for 184 yards through the air. Washington heads home for a NFC East showdown with the Giants in Week 2 as a 2.5-point favorite. That’s because Daniel Jones and the Giants were awful in their opener.

The Giants may not be as bad as Carolina but they’re close. The Panthers looked a lot like they did last season in their 47-10 loss at New Orleans. It may not be long before Bryce Young is considered a draft bust. The 2023 No. 1 overall pick was 13 of 30 for 161 yards and two picks and the offense generated fewer than 200 total yards. The Panthers are the largest home dog in Week 2 catching 6.5-points in their matchup with the Chargers.

Things were pretty even across the board in Week 1 with the favored teams going 9-7 ATS. Three dogs won outright with New England the biggest surprise beating Cincinnati, 16-10. Also, nine of the 17 games cashed the OVER. Every game in Week 1 closed with a total above 40, however three Week 2 games opened with the number below 40 points, the lowest being 36.5 for the Pittsburgh at Denver contest.
