Friday. Weβve been good to your friends Monday - Thursday. Please bless us with your almighty gambling powers as we look forward to sprinkling some coinage on NFL Week 2 and College Football Week 3 this weekend. Gamble responsibly.
π
Week 1 of the NFL season was undeniably a rollercoaster ride, featuring a bunch of surprising upsets, an unexpected blowout, and, sadly, the heartbreaking Achilles injury suffered by New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. It was too good to be true. Do the Jacksonville Jaguars have a chance to cover the +3.5 spread against the Chiefs this weekend despite Travic Kelce coming back? Some think so.
π
And what about college football? The Tennessee Volunteers step foot into the Swamp to face the Gators as a 6.5-point favorite. Seems kind of high, doesnβt it? Maybe not. Letβs break down the five best games to watch and bet on.

NFL Week 1 road teams were 12-4 against the spread in the opening week of the season. And the under hit in 12 of the 16 games.
π NFL Week 2 Best Bets & Games to Watch
Kansas City Chiefs (-3.5) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars, Sunday, 1PM EST

Over/under:
51.5 points (-115 via DraftKings Sportsbook)
Money line:
KC -195 (via DraftKings Sportsbook)
JAX +145 (via DraftKings Sportsbook)
WHY THE CHIEFS CAN COVER
π Travis Kelce may be back for this game. If so, we all know how that can go
π Last year, the Chiefs won this game 27-20 at home, with Mahomes throwing a modest 195 and two touchdowns. Can you take any guesses on who the recipient of those TDs were?
π Itβs still the Kansas City Chiefs weβre talking about here
WHY THE JAGS CAN COVER
π Trevor Lawrence has a solid game last week against the Colts, throwing for 241 yards and completing 24-32 passes in a 31-21 victory
π Calvin Ridley had a monster game with 8 catches for 101 yards
π The Jags look to get revenge from the Playoff loss last year
Baltimore Ravens (+3.5) @ Cincinnati Bengals, Sunday, 1PM EST
π€ Lines π€

46 points (-110 via DraftKings Sportsbook)
Money line:
BAL +140
CIN -185 (via DraftKings Sportsbook)
WHY THE RAVENS CAN COVER
π Joe Burrow had the worst game of his career. The question is, can the Ravensβ defense create chaos for him again this week?
π Odell Beckham Jr. barely got any action in Week 1. Look for Lamar and him to connect better in this game
WHY THE BENGALS CAN COVER
π Thereβs no way Joe Burrow has a game like he did in Week 1, right?
π Ravens are down bad with injuries: J.K. Dobbins out for the season, Marcus Williams, Ronnie Stanley, and Tyler Linderbaum all left week 1βs game with injuries
π Tight End Mark Andrews is questionable to return for this game

Under 40.5 points (-115 via DraftKings Sportsbook)
Money line:
GB +100 (via DraftKings Sportsbook)

WHY THE PACKERS CAN COVER
π QB Jordan Love looked sharp in Week 1, completing 15 of his 27 passes for 245 yards and three touchdowns in a 38-20 victory
π RB Aaron Jones had 127 total yards and two touchdowns in Week 1, although he left the game with a hamstring injury and didnβt return. If he plays in this game, look for him to continue to move the rock
WHY THE FALCONS CAN COVER
π Rookie RB Bijan Robinson had a strong debut that included a highlight-reel 11-yard touchdown catch for his first career touchdown. Heβs a dog.
π The Falcons outscored the Panthers 17-0 in the second half in a 24-10 victory. Look for them to transfer that momentum into this game
New York Giants (-4) vs Arizona Cardinals, Sunday, 4:05PM EST
π€ Lines π€

Over/under:
40 points (-110 via DraftKings Sportsbook)
Money line:
NY -220 (via DraftKings Sportsbook)
NY +160 (via DraftKings Sportsbook)
WHY THE GIANTS CAN COVER
π Itβs hard to play any worse than they did in their 40-0 blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys
π The Cardinals are without their star QB Kyler Murray
π The Cardinals offense failed to score a touchdown and lacked explosion at every phase in Week 1
WHY THE CARDINALS CAN COVER
π QB Josh Dobbs didnβt look bad after being in Arizona for only 2 seconds, nearly pulling off the upset win against the Washington Commanders in Week 1
Miami Dolphins (-3) vs New England Patriots, Sunday, 8:20PM EST
π€ Lines π€
Spread:
MIA -3 (-110 via DraftKings Sportsbook)
Over/under:
46.5 points (-110 via DraftKings Sportsbook)
Money line:
MIA -155 (via DraftKings Sportsbook)
NE +125 (via DraftKings Sportsbook)
WHY THE DOLPHINS CAN COVER
π QB Tua Tagovailoa played out of his mind - no pun intended - in Week 1 against the Charges, completing 28/45 with 466 yards and 2 touchdowns. I donβt see much changing
π Tyreek Hill is still in his prime. He had 11 receptions for 215 and 2 touchdowns in Week 1. Whoβs stopping him?
WHY THE PATS CAN COVER
π New England stayed with the Eagles in Week 1 for pretty much the entire game which was impressive. Look for the defense to continue to hold it down for them
π New England has won 12 of the past 14 matchups at Gillette Stadium. Are we going against those odds?

Tennessee Volunteers (-6.5) vs Florida Gators, Saturday, 7PM EST
π€ Lines π€
Spread:
TEN -6.5 (-110 via DraftKings Sportsbook)
Over/under:
58.5 points (-110 via DraftKings Sportsbook)
Money line:
TEN -265 (via DraftKings Sportsbook)
FLO +190 (via DraftKings Sportsbook)
WHY THE VOLS CAN COVER
π Tennessee leads the SEC with 257.5 rushing yards per game on average, a figure that also ranks fourth nationally. Look for them to establish the run game early
π Florida's transfer quarterback is efficient, good for 74% of his passes for 526 yards, but not showing off, with only 2 TD passes
WHY THE GATORS CAN COVER
π Florida has the pieces to burn some clock and maintain possession with its three-headed backfield
π The Gators' front seven will clog up those A and B gaps a little better than Tennessee's earlier opponents have, throwing the run game into neutral at times
π€ What are the odds the entire Colorado team walks out the tunnel with shades on?
