              Vikings (-4) vs. Falcons, 28-12

              Don't Believe the Hype

              -- The Tennessee Titans (+5.5, ML +205) routed the Cleveland Browns, who entered the 2019 season with tremendous hype and expectations. About two hours into the season, that same ol' feeling was setting in on the shores of Lake Erie in what has been referred to as the 'Factory of Sadness'. It was a sad day for bettors, too, as the Browns had plenty of side bettors driving the line from 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 at one point. As Titans TE Delanie Walker said, borrowing a line from former NFL coach Dennis Green, "They are who we thought they were." The Browns will play on Monday Night Football on the road in Week 2 against the New York Jets, and one of those teams will leave the field next week with an 0-2 SU hole to start the season.

              Nicked Up

              -- The Jacksonville Jaguars landed big-ticket free agent QB Nick Foles during the offseason, but he was forced out early against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a broken collarbone, and he will be out indefinitely. So now the starting quarterback, perhaps just temporarily, will fall to rookie Gardner Minshew, who was a graduate transfer sensation for Mike Leach at Washington State last season. You can be sure some will be beating that Colin Kaepernick drum, too. They need something, as a season of promise has already changed in the course of three hours, after getting paddled by the Chiefs.

              South Florida Fade

              -- Back in the day, Dan Marino was lighting it up for the Miami Dolphins, while the Miami Hurricanes were running college football. These days, the Hurricanes are 0-2 SU/1-1 ATS and likely already eliminated from the College Football Playoff chase, while the Dolphins kicked off their season with a 59-10 ass beating from the Baltimore Ravens. Instead of calling their venue 'Hard Rock Stadium', it should be called 'Hard Pass'. If you're a sports fan in South Florida looking to stretch your dollar, you should likely be able to cheap seats very soon. Heck, you can even toss in the Florida Atlantic Owls and Florida International Golden Panthers, two more South Florida teams who are 0-2 SU.

              The good news for bettors, at least as far as the Dolphins are concerned, is that they welcome the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots to Hard Pass...err, Hard Rock Stadium in Week 2. After the Pats spanked the Pittsburgh Steelers by a 33-3 count on Sunday Night Football, will we be looking at a potential 20-point favorite on the road by the time the game closes next week? The Patriots opened as 'just' a 14 1/2-point favorite after the Week 1 games on Sunday wrapped up.

              Total Recall

              -- The game with the highest total on the board Sunday was the San Francisco 49ers-Tampa Bay Buccaneers (51) battle at Raymond James Stadium. With just 13 points on the board at halftime, 'under' bettors were feeling might confident. This game also featured four touchdowns called back due to penalty, which is certainly helpful.

              Buccaneers QB Jameis Winston did his best to assist 'over' bettors, tossing not one, but two pick-sixes in this one. That was quite the change for the Niners, who recorded a total of two interceptions during the entire 2018 season. They picked off Winston three times total, including late in the game to make it 31-17, immediately giving the Bucs the ball back with just over two minutes to go. If you were holding an 'under' ticket, you got an eerie feeling that the Bucs were gonna score in garbage time and ruin a good things, as under bettors were on the right side all day. Luckily, the 49ers defense stepped up and kept disaster from happening.

              -- On the flip side, the lowest total on the board was the Ravens-Dolphins (40.5) game. The Ravens scored 42 points themselves in the first half to send 'over' bettors into the black. The second-lowest total on the board was the Buffalo Bills-New York Jets (41.5) battle. The teams combined for a total of six points in the first half, too deep of a hole for 'over' bettors to overcome. There was a flurry of scoring in the seconf half -- 27 total points to be exact -- but the damage was already done early, including a scoreless second.

              -- The 'under' is 2-0 in two primetime games so far during the 2019 regular season schedule, with the Monday Night Football doubleheader with the Houston Texans-New Orleans Saints (53.5) and Denver Broncos-Oakland Raiders (43) still pending. The 'over' is 0-2 (0.0%), during the early 2019 primetime schedule with two games still pending.

              Officially, the 'over' finished 26-25 (51.0%) in 51 games under the lights.

              In 2017, the 'over' finished 25-23-1 (52.1%) in 49 primetime games.

              In 2016, the 'over' in night games went (52.9%) through 51 games.

              In 2015, the 'over' finished 20-28-1 (41.7%) in 49 primetime games.

              In 2014, the 'over' went 33-17 (66.0%) in primetime games, and the 'over' was 28-22 (56.0%) in 2013.

              Injury Report

              -- Chargers WR Mike Williams (knee) checked out of the Week 1 game against the Colts due to a knee ailment.

              -- Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (shoulder) was hospitalized after suffering a collarbone injury in Jacksonville. It has been determined that he will not require surgery, but Hill will miss a "few weeks," according to NFL.com.

              -- Colts WR Devin Funchess (collarbone) will have a second opinion, but initial tests suggest a broken collarbone for the new Colts receiver.

              -- 49ers RB Tevin Coleman (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in Tampa Bay, leaving head coach Kyle Shanahan "concerned".

              -- Jaguars QB Nick Foles (collarbone/clavicle) suffered a fractured clavicle and will undergo surgery on Monday. It's uncertain if he is done for the entire season, but he'll miss significant time.

              -- Steelers WR Juju Smith-Schuster (toe) suffered a toe injury late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's blowout loss in New England, and he is expected to undergo X-rays.

              Looking Ahead

              -- The Panthers will host the Buccaneers on Thursday night at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, a game featuring a pair of 0-1 SU/ATS teams. In this series the underdog is 5-1 ATS in the past six meetings, with the road team 7-3 ATS in the past 10 in the series. The 'under' is also 5-1 in the past six battles, and 13-6 in the previous 19 encounters in the Queen City. Interestingly, something's gotta give with these two teams, as Tampa Bay is 0-5 ATS in their past five appearances on Thursday Night Football, while Carolina is 0-4 ATS in their past four on TNF.

              -- The Cowboys and Redskins will meet in the nation's capital, and both clubs are playing their second divisional game in as many weeks. Dallas is a perfect 5-0 ATS in the previous five inside the NFC East. While Washington blew a 17-point lead in Philadelphia in Week 1, they were able to cover to improve to 1-4 ATS in the past five divisional games. The road team is 7-3 ATS in the past 10 meetings, with the Cowboys 4-1 ATS in the past five trips to D.C. The underdog is 31-11 ATS in the past 42 in this series, too. If you're a total bettor, remember that the 'over' has cashed in six of the past seven meetings.

              -- The Vikings and Packers lock horns in an NFC North early-season showdown. Someone is going to leave the field with a 2-0 SU record, too. The home team has cashed in five of the past six meetings in this series, with the Vikings just 3-7 ATS in their past 10 forays into Lambeau Field. The 'under' has also connected in seven of the past nine meetings. For Minnesota, the under is 22-7 in the past 29 inside the NFC North, while the under is a perfect 4-0 in the past four divisional games for Green Bay, including their 10-3 win in Week 1 at Chicago.

              -- The Jaguars travel to Houston to meet the Texans. Jacksonville is just 1-5-1 ATS in the past seven on the road, and 1-5-1 ATS in the past seven inside the AFC South, too. Will the rookie Minshew turn their fortunes around? The Jaguars are 5-2-1 ATS in the past eight meetings, the road team is 11-4-1 ATS in the past 16 meetings and the underdog is 9-4 ATS in the previous 13 battles. The trends point to Jacksonville, but logic seems to point at Houston.

              -- The Patriots travel to the heat and humidity of South Florida to take on the Dolphins. That might be the most difficult obstacle for New England. The Patriots are 19-8 ATS in their past 27 road games, and they're 6-2 ATS in the past eight inside the division. The Dolphins have posted a 6-1 ATS mark in the past seven at home against the Patriots, but that was with much more talented rosters. The home team is also 14-3 ATS in the past 17 in this series.

              -- The Chiefs land in Oaktown to battle the Raiders. Kansas City is 13-4 ATS in the past 17 against AFC West foes, and they're 7-2-1 ATS in the past 10 on the road, including their Week 1 whitewashing of the Jags. The Raiders are just 5-11 ATS in their past 16 home battles against the Chiefs, and the 'over' is 5-1 in the past six in the Black Hole.

                Close Calls - Week 1
                Joe Nelson

                Glancing at the scoreboard won’t tell you the whole story in most games. Here are some of the games that went down to the wire relative to the spread in the fourth quarter last week in Week 1 of the NFL regular season.

                Philadelphia Eagles (-10) 32, Washington Redskins 27 (44):
                Case Keenum hit several big plays early in his Washington debut as the Redskins stunned the Eagles with a 17-0 lead 20 minutes into the game and held on to a 20-7 edge at halftime. Philadelphia erased that lead in a three-minute span in the third quarter with back-to-back scores to lead by one heading into the fourth. The Eagles kept the momentum with an early fourth quarter touchdown and then a field goal with about three minutes remaining put the Eagles past the heavy home favorite spread for the first time in the game leading by 12. Having punted on its first three possessions of the second half with a total of five yards gained, Washington put together a 16-play, 75-yard drive that ended with an underdog cover saving touchdown with six seconds on the clock.

                Buffalo Bills (+2½) 17, New York Jets 16 (41):
                The Jets took the lead early on an interception return touchdown but missed the PAT and that was the only scoring of the first half with Josh Allen having four turnovers for the Bills. The Jets led 8-0 after a safety on Buffalo’s first offensive snap of the third quarter and with good field position they added a touchdown to lead 16-0. Buffalo finally answered with a field goal and then in the fourth quarter produced an impressive touchdown drive to trail by only six with about 10 minutes to go. The Jets picked up a first down, but opted to punt short of midfield rather than risk going for it on 4th-and-2. Allen led an 8-play, 80-yard touchdown in just three minutes as the Bills took a 17-16 lead with about three minutes to go. The Jets got close to midfield on its next drive but couldn’t convert for a one-point loss in a game where new kicker Kaare Vedvik missed two kicks.

                Tennessee Titans (+5½) 43, Cleveland Browns 13 (44):
                The Browns crept back in this game with a touchdown to trail by only two late in the third quarter but a 75-yard touchdown followed to put the Titans in commanding position leading 22-13 through three quarters. Those on the ‘under’ still had some room to work with but back-to-back Baker Mayfield interceptions handed the Titans short fields and Tennessee scored quickly on drives of only 35 and 34 yards to push the total ‘over’, eventually adding a Malcolm Butler pick-6 later in the game for good measure to create the blowout 30-point final margin.

                Arizona Cardinals (+3) 27, Detroit Lions 27 (48½):
                Laying just a few points against 2018’s worst NFL team seemed too good to be true, but the Lions got out to a 17-0 edge in the second quarter and after the defense held Arizona to a pair of field goals, wound up in front 24-6 early in the fourth quarter. Zane Gonzalez added a field goal to trim the margin to 15 points and Detroit had a 3-and-out. Kyler Murray then led his first NFL touchdown drive with David Johnson going in from 27 yards and the Cardinals were within a single score with six minutes to go. Detroit should have been able to put the game away, but Arizona exhausted its timeouts and ultimately the Lions had to punt from midfield, with a poor effort going only 11 yards.

                With a short field, Arizona was able to work its way down the field and Murray again delivered a touchdown as well as a two-point conversion to tie the game. Arizona went first in overtime and reached the Detroit 8-yard-line but had to settle for a short field goal. The Lions likewise couldn’t get through to the end zone and tied the game at 27-27. Arizona faced a dilemma on 4th-and-7 from the Detroit 46 with the risky options to try an extremely long field goal or go for the 1st down both likely to hand the game to the Lions if they failed. The Cardinals played for the tie and punted to the Detroit 5-yard-line where the Lions didn’t offer much of a threat to deliver a miracle late score.

                Los Angeles Chargers (-6½) 30, Indianapolis Colts 24 (44½):
                Side and total results faced a dramatic finish in the battle of 2018 AFC playoff teams. The Chargers had a 17-6 lead at halftime after Adam Vinatieri missed a PAT and a field goal to cost the Colts. He hit for three on the first drive of the third quarter, but the Chargers answered with a touchdown to lead by 15. In two plays, the Colts answered back to get back within a single score down eight, just short of a spread that bounced between 7 and 6½ before even sliding to just 6 at some outlets by kickoff. The Colts got the break they needed late in the third quarter with a muffed punt return catch, but Vinatieri would miss again from just 29 yards early in the fourth to keep the margin at eight.

                The Chargers moved to 1st-and-goal with a chance to put the game away, but an interception in the end zone gave the Colts new life. Sixteen plays later, the Colts found the end zone while converting a 4th down along the way. The two-point conversion with less than a minute on the clock could have ended the spread uncertainty, but Marlon Mack got through and tied the game to force overtime. The Chargers got the ball first and hit a big early play that withstood review. On 3rd-and-1, the Colts needed a stop to stay in the game, but the Chargers converted and ran into the end zone on the next play. With no PAT needed in OT, most on the Colts still covered while the late Indianapolis touchdown secured the ‘over’ as well.

                New Orleans Saints (-6½) 30, Houston Texans 28 (51½):
                With a 14-3 halftime lead, the Texans underdog cover appeared on track on a line that dipped from +7 to +6½. New Orleans scored quickly out of halftime, but the Texans were able to answer to maintain an 11-point lead. A late third quarter touchdown put the Saints down by four and a few plays later Deshaun Watson was intercepted giving the Saints the ball back near midfield. On the first play of the fourth quarter, the Saints took their first lead by three. Both teams had to punt before Houston appeared to climb into scoring range reaching the New Orleans 44. Watson took an 11-yard sack and Houston had to punt. Pinned deep the Saints got 41 yards on a huge 3rd-and-2 play and eventually had a new set of downs on the 33-yard-line of Houston, with those on the Saints and the ‘over’ eagerly awaiting a score.

                Houston’s defense held leaving the Saints to kick a field goal with 50 seconds left, leading by only six. Watson needed only two plays to find the end zone with completions for 48 and 37 yards as the Texans stunned the Superdome crowd. The game was tied ahead of the PAT which Ka’imi Fairbarin incredibly missed right, a controversial flag came out as Fairbairn was contacted well after his kicking leg came back down and on the retry Houston went up by one to take overtime out of the picture and confirm the underdog cover. New Orleans would use the final 37 seconds to go 35 yards and Will Lutz came through with a 58-yard field goal for a dramatic win for the Saints.

                  published 9/9/19....


                  NFL Week 2 odds are up, and Saints-Rams could be heaviest-bet game on docket
                  Patrick Everson

                  Todd Gurley and Los Angeles opened their NFC title defense with a win and cover at Carolina. The Rams opened as 3-point home favorites in Week 2 vs. the Saints, a rematch of the NFC title game.

                  There’s still a “Monday Night Football” doubleheader to close NFL Week 1, but the Week 2 numbers are up, topped by the line for an NFC Championship Game rematch. Covers checks in on the opening odds and early action for four games, with insights from John Murray, director of The SuperBook at Westgate in Las Vegas.

                  New Orleans Saints at Los Angeles Rams (-3)

                  Los Angeles fended off a comeback to open defense of its NFC title with a season-opening victory Sunday. The Rams (1-0 SU and ATS) led by 13 points multiple times, including 23-10 late in the third quarter, then held on for a 30-27 win as 1.5-point road favorites.

                  New Orleans still has Week 1 work to do, opening the Monday twinbill at home against Houston. But the Saints surely recall the last time they were on the field for a meaningful game, in January’s NFC Championship Game. Drew Brees and Co. were 3-point home favorites to the Rams, got the short end of a now infamous noncall of pass interference and lost 26-23 in overtime.

                  “NFC Championship Game rematch could be the most heavily bet game of the day,” Murray said of a key clash on the Sunday docket. “There’s no reason to move off -3 here yet. The Rams took care of business. The Saints in action Monday night.”

                  Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans (-3)

                  Tennessee got it done in Week 1 against a team that arguably received more offseason hype than any other outfit. The Titans (1-0 SU and ATS) gave up an early touchdown at Cleveland, but ended up leading much of the game and ran away in the second half for a 43-13 win as 5.5-point underdogs.

                  Indianapolis, without the recently retired Andrew Luck at quarterback, perhaps showed it will not be a pushover this season. On Sunday against the Chargers, Jacoby Brissett led the Colts (0-1 SU, 0-0-1 ATS) to a touchdown and 2-point conversion in the final minute to tie the game at 24, but Indy fell short in overtime 30-24 catching 6 points in Los Angeles.

                  “We opened Titans -3 and moved to Titans -3 (-120) off action we took on that side,” Murray said. “Both teams impressed today, the Titans with a great win in Cleveland, the Colts really hung in there on the road against the Chargers. Indianapolis might have won with a better kicking game.”

                  Seattle Seahawks at Pittsburgh Steelers (-4.5)

                  Seattle travels across the country for one of next Sunday’s early kickoffs, after barely hanging on as big home chalk in Week 1. The Seahawks (1-0 SU, 0-1 ATS) went back-and-forth with Cincinnati on Sunday, eking out a 21-20 victory as 9.5-point faves.

                  Pittsburgh missed the playoffs last season, then opened the 2019-20 campaign against the defending Super Bowl champions. Under the Sunday night lights, the Steelers () wilted in a 33-3 loss at New England getting 5.5 points.

                  “We opened Steelers -4.5, but it’s off the board, as they are currently getting throttled by the Patriots,” Murray said while Pittsburgh-New England game was in the fourth quarter. “We may see this line come down a little between now and Monday morning, although the Seahawks’ performance today wasn’t anything special either.”

                  Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers (-3)

                  Green Bay is already off to a good start in the NFC North as it prepares for another big rivalry game. The Packers (1-0 SU and ATS) put the clamps on Chicago in a Week 1 defensive slugfest, posting a 10-3 victory as 3.5-point road ‘dogs.

                  Minnesota, which reached the NFC title game two seasons ago but missed the postseason last year, stormed out of the gate in Week 1. The Vikings (1-0 SU and ATS) built a 21-0 halftime lead against Atlanta and coasted to a 28-12 victory giving 3.5 points at home Sunday.

                  “Great win for the Vikings over the Falcons. Only 10 passing attempts from Kirk Cousins,” Murray said. “The Vikings are clearly looking to establish the run. They’ll need to move it on the ground effectively against what appears to be an improved Packers defense.”

                  The line opened -3 but at even money for the Pack, then briefly ticked to -2.5 (-120) before going back to the opener.

                      LACKLUSTER AT LAMBEAU

                      The Minnesota Vikings showed off their running game versus the Atlanta Falcons last week. The Vikes ran it early and often as they jumped out to a comfortable 21-point lead after 30 minutes and passed just 10 times while controlling the ball for roughly 50 percent of the game.

                      It seems Minnesota head coach Mike Zimmer has a game plan with the lead: slow it down. In total, the Vikings had just 48 offensive plays and ran the ball successfully — 4.5 yards per carry — 38 times.

                      They will struggle to find that same success versus the Green Bay Packers in Wisconsin Sunday. The Pack’s defense allowed just 46 yards on 15 carries with a long of eight against the Chicago Bears on Thursday.

                      With both teams possibly looking to establish the run and manage the clock early in what could be a cold, wet day at Lambeau Field, take the first-half Under at 22.5


                      ON CROWDER NINE

                      Although Sam Darnold put up just 175 passing yards versus a solid Bills defense, he has found his new chain-moving target in Jamison Crowder. The first-year Jet played the third most snaps by a New York receiver but converted that into a league-high 17 targets, catching 14 of Darnold’s 28 completions.

                      The Jets will face off against the Cleveland Browns on Monday, as the Browns will want to play to their strengths in the passing game after getting embarrassed at home last week. We don’t expect Crowder to see another 17 targets but are willing to put our money on him hauling in a minimum of five or six balls playing primarily out of the slot and avoiding Browns DB Denzel Ward.

                      Take the Over on Crowder’s total receptions on any number below seven, depending where you play.


                      CAPITAL GAINS

                      Since the Amari Cooper trade last season, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is averaging 287.3 yards passing per game. He’s also coming off a four-hundred yard, four-TD performance over the New York Giants.

                      Facing the Cowboys this week is Washington Redskins QB Case Keenum, who’s also coming in hot, having made 30 completions for 380 yards last week. The Reskins may be forced to throw even more with the injury to starting running back Derrius Guice. Even with Guice, Washington rushed the ball on just 23 percent of its offensive snaps in the second-half collapse to the Philadelphia Eagles.

                      With the Cowboys getting chunks of yardage by using play-action or R.P.O on 46.6 percent of their offensive plays last week, expect another high-scoring affair in Washington. The Over is 6-1 in the last seven matchups between these classic rivals and after an opening of 44, the total sits at 46.5.

                      There’s still value here so feel comfortable taking the Over 46.5 in a game that may see 80 pass attempts.


                      NO JOSHING AROUND

                      Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs will head into his first matchup with divisional rivals Kansas City Chiefs on the heels of a 23-carry, 85-yard, one-TD performance.

                      Jacobs played 40 of 55 snaps in the Week 1 win over Denver Monday while fellow RB Jalen Richard received just one touch. Coach Jon Gruden and the Raiders are going to lean heavily on the former first-round pick.

                      Gruden told the media that he wants to see Jacobs get a similar workload in Week 2, meaning last week's performance was no outlier.

                      Game flow may be a problem for the Raiders' running attack versus MVP and the boys. It’s tough to run the ball that much when you’re down on the scoreboard and, according to the current spread (Kansas City -7.5), Oakland will be down on the scoreboard. But, we like the Jacobs’ anytime touchdown prop as opposed to the total yards Over/Under.

                          Best spot bets for NFL Week 2 odds: Texans tangle with a 'fruit salad' of situations
                          Jason Logan

                          In the fight against the big bad bookies, sports bettors have an arsenal of weapons at their disposal – some more effective than others.

                          One of the most popular methods of getting a leg up on the sportsbooks is situational handicapping: factoring in unique situations for the teams involved. Some of the more common situational plays – or spot bets – are “letdowns”, “lookaheads”, and “schedule” spots.

                          Senior Industry Analyst Jason Logan combs through the Week 2 schedule and highlights the best opportunities for spot bettors to take advantage of the NFL odds.

                          LETDOWN SPOT: BUFFALO BILLS AT NEW YORK GIANTS (+1.5, 43.5)

                          The Bills escaped MetLife Stadium with a Week 1 win over the New York Jets, thanks to a fourth-quarter surge that saw Buffalo outscore the host 14-0 in the final 15 minutes and come away with a 17-16 win as a 2.5-point road pup.

                          The Bills are back in East Rutherford again in Week 2 looking to avoid a letdown spot after such a thrilling come-from-behind victory. Buffalo fell in a similar spot last season, enjoying a come-from-behind road win at Atlanta in Week 4 then losing 20-16 at Cincinnati in Week 5.

                          This time, it’s the New York Giants, who are getting around two points at home from oddsmakers. While not a far trip from Orchard Park, this is the second straight road game for Buffalo, which looked bad for three quarters of football in Week 1. The Bills were down 16-3 entering the fourth quarter with just as many turnovers on the board.

                          The Giants got rolled by the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1, but that one-sided loss was on the defense. To the chagrin of some N.Y. fans (hoping to see more Daniel Jones), Eli Manning played well and Saquon Barkley did his thing. Buffalo doesn’t pose the same scoring threats as Dallas, and could fall victim to a classic letdown spot as road chalk Sunday.

                          LOOKAHEAD SPOT: JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS AT HOUSTON TEXANS (-8.5, 43.5)

                          While we’re tagging this a lookahead spot, since the Texans travel to California to face the L.A. Chargers in Week 3, this Week 2 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars is the fruit salad of spot bets. Let’s get the lookahead out of the way first…

                          Houston's in the driver’s seat in the AFC South (don’t tell Tennessee) with Andrew Luck gonzo and Nick Foles sidelined with a broken collarbone until November (at best). Next week’s trip to Los Angeles could go a long way in deciding the AFC pecking order, as the Texans could end up jockeying for home field in the postseason come December. Normally, I wouldn’t dub a divisional matchup as a game teams tend to look past but given the Jags’ quarterback situation, you can't blame Houston for peaking down the road.

                          Jacksonville appears to be going with rookie QB Gardner Minshew for the time being, and the former Washington State record-breaker and obvious student of Mike Leach (just soak in that “Captain Jack Sparrow” sideline look for a moment. Pirates, right?) was great in relief of Foles during the team’s loss to Kansas City Sunday. But, a rookie starter none the less.

                          Now for a sprinkling of situational seasonings. Houston is sandwiched in this lookahead spot by a slice of letdown, coming off a crushing defeat versus the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football. And that game also puts the Texans in a schedule spot, with a short week to prepare for the Jaguars as well as giving Deshaun Watson less time to heal up from an obvious back injury suffered early in that Monday nighter.

                          The line opened Houston -9.5 and didn’t last long, with sharp play on the Jaguars trimming off a full point to the deadest of dead numbers: -8.5. According to our Covers Consensus, 67 percent of early bets are on the home side, which looks to be stuck in situational hell for Week 2.

                          SCHEDULE SPOT: CHICAGO BEARS AT DENVER BRONCOS (+2.5, 40.5)

                          There are a couple different ways to look at this potential schedule spot:

                          1. The Bears have had a mini bye due to playing last Thursday, giving Mitch Trubisky and the offense more time to right the ship after scoring only three points in the opener versus Green Bay. So, with that said, Chicago’s offense benefits from the schedule in Week 2.

                          But…

                          2. Denver is the worst place to play early in the season, specifically in the Broncos’ home openers. Since 2000, Denver is an incredible 18-1 SU in home openers and has gone 11-4-4 ATS in those Mile High debuts (73 percent).

                          I’ll admit, most betting trends are about as useful as “rubber lips on a woodpecker” (thanks to my Newfie mother-in-law for that one), but this trend does have a narrative behind it. Empower Field at Mile High is located at 5,280 feet above sea level, which means the air is thinner than Trubisky’s mustache.

                          NFL teams, regardless of all the pre-camps, summer camps, training camps, preseason and whatever else they’ve got going, are still not in game shape until they play actual games (ask anyone who’s ever played competitive sports and they’ll tell you there’s no substitution for actual games). And with Denver's season opener usually falling in the first three weeks of action, opponents are left sucking wind when they visit the Broncos.

                          Chicago head coach Matt Nagy likes to run a quicker pace, with the Bears totaling 65 plays in Thursday’s loss despite having the football for less than 29 minutes. The oxygen-light atmosphere in Denver could be a big speed bump for Da Bears, which is why this total is creeping down from 41.5 to 40.5 as of Wednesday.

                            TNF - Buccaneers at Panthers
                            Kevin Rogers

                            LAST WEEK

                            The Buccaneers (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS) lost their first season opener since 2015 in last Sunday’s 31-17 home defeat to the 49ers as one-point favorites. Neither team scored an offensive touchdown in the first half as San Francisco kicked two field goals and Tampa Bay returned an interception for a score midway through the second quarter for a 7-6 halftime lead.

                            Tampa Bay never led again as San Francisco scored 25 second half points, including a pair of pick-sixes thrown by Buccaneers’ quarterback Jameis Winston. The lone Bucs offensive touchdown came on a Winston scoring connection with wide receiver Chris Godwin from 10 yards out, as the former Penn State standout led Tampa Bay with 53 yards receiving. Ronald Jones III produced 75 yards on the ground, but Winston’s three interceptions proved to be the difference as Tampa Bay fell to 1-4 ATS since last season as a home favorite.

                            The Panthers (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS) started last season with an impressive 6-2 record, but lost the next seven games before falling shy of the playoffs at 7-9. Carolina dropped to 1-8 in its past nine regular season games, including four consecutive home defeats following Sunday’s 30-27 setback to the Rams. Los Angeles jumped out to an early 13-0 lead before Carolina rallied back to cut the deficit to 23-20 on Christian McCaffrey’s two-yard touchdown run in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter.

                            Cam Newton failed to throw a touchdown pass in his first regular season action since Week 15 last season, as the Panthers’ quarterback racked up 239 yards, while getting intercepted once. McCaffrey stood out by rushing for 128 yards and two scores, while hauling in 10 receptions for 81 yards. Carolina had its five-game home opener winning streak snapped, as the Panthers dropped their first game of the season at Bank of America Stadium since a 12-7 defeat to Seattle in 2013.

                            SERIES HISTORY

                            From 2009-17, this series ended in a sweep with Carolina grabbing both meetings in 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2017, while the Bucs claimed both matchups in 2010 and 2012, while edging the Panthers by a combined four points in a 2016 sweep. Last season ended that trend of sweeps as the home team captured each game.

                            Carolina outlasted Tampa Bay in Charlotte, 42-28 in Week 9 as six-point favorites, while sailing OVER the total of 55 ½. The Panthers jumped out to a 35-7 second quarter lead, highlighted by two short McCaffrey touchdowns before the Bucs came back to climb with seven points with three consecutive touchdowns. Newton connected with Curtis Samuel for the final touchdown to mark the fifth home win over Tampa Bay in the last six tries.

                            Winston sat out the first matchup with Carolina, but suited up in the second meeting at Raymond James Stadium in early December. Tampa Bay’s defense intercepted Newton four times, while Winston threw a pair of touchdowns in a 24-17 triumph as 3 ½-point underdogs. Following the high-scoring affair the first time around, the Buccaneers limited the Panthers to only one first half touchdown. Newton finished with 300 yards passing and two touchdowns, but the four picks did Carolina in, while the game easily stayed UNDER the total of 52.

                            The UNDER has cashed in five of the last six meetings, while three of the past five matchups in Charlotte have been decided by three points or less.

                            ARIANS IN JUDGMENT

                            Bruce Arians is coaching his first road game since 2017 with Arizona. The Buccaneers’ head coach owns a 3-7 record in his past 10 away contests in the role of an underdog dating back to 2015. Those three victories came at one of the hardest stadiums to win at in Seattle, while not covering once in any of the losses. In three games with Arizona at Bank of America Stadium (including two playoff games), Arians has lost each time by double-digits.

                            WEEK 2 ‘DOG SUCCESS

                            The first Thursday game in Week 2 is normally tough on both teams as they play with only three days of rest following the opener. Since 2015, the underdog has won outright four straight times in the Week 2 Thursday night affair, including three road victories by the Broncos (at Kansas City, 2015), Jets (at Buffalo, 2016), Texans (at Cincinnati, 2017) and Bengals (vs. Baltimore, 2018). Tampa Bay is the largest underdog in this situation as the biggest ‘dog was Houston, who was getting 5 ½ in a 13-9 triumph at Cincinnati.

                            HANDICAPPER’S CORNER

                            NFL expert Joe Nelson checks in with his thoughts on this NFC South, starting with Tampa Bay’s defensive performance in Week 1, “While the mistakes of the Buccaneers’ offense grabbed the headlines, the Tampa Bay defense that had many of the worst numbers in the league last season did a good job against San Francisco. The 49ers had only 256 total yards and gained only 4.3 yards per play with Jimmy Garoppolo held to 6.1 yards per pass attempt. San Francisco was held to 3.1 yards per rush as the Buccaneers had better overall numbers in the game save for the 4-2 turnover deficit.”

                            With both teams losing at home to NFC foes in Week 1, Nelson points out the importance of this game, “While plenty of teams have recovered from 0-2 starts, this game will feel like an early season elimination game for a pair of teams coming off losing seasons but with some support to be risers this season in the NFC picture. These teams will meet again in London in Week 6 as Tampa Bay doesn’t get a home meeting in this series for a rare division game overseas.”

                            “The urgency may be greater for the Buccaneers in the schedule as well as while a winnable game with the Giants is up next in Week 3, Tampa Bay plays last season’s NFC Championship participants on the road in Weeks 4 and 5. Carolina is on the road the next two weeks with Arizona and Houston before a home game with Jacksonville for a more manageable early season path,” Nelson notes.

                              RINGING THE BELL

                              Heading into Week 1, there were questions on Le’Veon Bell’s workload after not being tackled since January of 2018. Bell didn’t explode on the stat sheet but for a per-touch basis, he was dominant. The 27-year-old led all running backs in avoided tackles on the ground with nine — three more than the next back — while getting 23 touches and a score. With his workload set to increase, look for the New York Jets to lean on him heavily at home versus the Cleveland Browns.

                              The Browns gave up some big yards to Tennessee Titans RBs last week allowing Derrick Henry to rip off a 75-yard catch and run and while managing 84 yards on 19 carries. Look for the Jets to use a lot of screens to offset that dominant Browns pass-rush, playing right into Bell’s strength.

                              We are hitting the Over total rushing and receiving yards on anything under 125 yards.


                              ALLEN AIRS IT OUT

                              Last week we hit our Josh Allen Over 219 passing yards as the Buffalo Bills came out throwing versus the Jets. Allen was playing quite loose as he turned the ball over four times, but the Bills look committed into turning him into a passer.

                              Up next for the 2-point-road-favorite Bills are the New York Giants who allowed 400-plus yards in the air last week versus Dallas. The Giants secondary gave up a pair of 100-yard receivers and let Michael Gallop go for 158 yards.

                              We like both these offenses as Saquon Barkley and, to a lesser degree, Devin Singletary can bust big plays with any touch. However, Allen’s turnovers and the Bills defense scare me on the Over 43.5. So we are going back-to-back with Allen’s passing yard total and grabbing the Over 216 yards.


                              THE BIG BEN THEORY

                              After scoring just three points in New England, look for Big Ben and the Pittsburgh Steelers offense to bounce back versus the Seattle Seahawks who are fresh off allowing 418 passing yards to Andy Dalton. The Hawks have allowed an average of 28 points over their last four road games (1-3 SU) and are 1-8 SU and 0-8-1 ATS on the road in September over their last nine.

                              The Steelers’ team total sits at 26.5 which we feel is a little high so we will be taking the Steelers -4. The Steelers to need to rebound after an ugly loss and beat an average road team travelling from west to east for a 1 pm game.


                              CHRISTIAN THE PANTHER

                              If bettors thought they could get an easy line on Christian McCaffrey’s rushing, receiving or total yards, guess again. With the soft Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense on deck for Sunday, CMC’s rushing and receiving yardage total sits at 139.5 — a number he has hit five times in his last 17 games.

                              We understand if you can’t pull the trigger with better value plays out there in your quest for some Thursday night action. How about the anytime score prop? That’s out of the question for most as it sits a ridiculous -277. We are zeroing in on the first TD of the game prop where McCaffrey is a much more reasonable +350.

                              If CMC is expected to rack up yards and score, as the lines predict, then we are going to put our money on him being the first to cross the goalline. There is a good chance he could lead his team in targets and carries, just as he did in Week 1. Take CMC to score the first TD at +350 and enjoy the bounty.


                              SHADY GAGA

                              With the news of Kansas City Chiefs Tyreke Hill hitting the shelf for 4-6 weeks, most will be looking at Sammy Watkins to fill that role. That’s great news for us as we don’t mind looking for scraps at the table if there is value.

                              LeSean McCoy, outplayed fellow RB Damien Williams on the ground versus the Jaguars and we are expecting the former Bill to cut into Williams' passing work this week against the Oakland Raiders. McCoy is still learning his pass protection but with another week under his belt, the back who averaged nearly four receptions under Reid as an Eagle will be more involved.

                              McCoy already has a major role on this team and it will only grow as he familiarizes himself with the playbook. We are taking the Over on a reception total of anything under 3.5. If you can’t find that market, we fully support the Over on 41 rushing yards as well.
