Aaron Rodgers leads the Green Bay Packers as 3 point road favorites on Monday NightThe Chicago Bears (2-0) and Green Bay Packers (2-0) will be playing the first real meaningful game in the oldest NFL rivalry post-Favre when they meet at Soldier Field on Monday Night Football. Of course Bears and Packers fans alike would argue every game between the two bitter NFC North rivals is meaningful, but this is exactly the type of game Chicago envisioned playing when the team went out and traded for quarterback Jay Cutler before last season.
Mike Vick gets the start for 2nd straight week on Sunday and the birds are 3 point road favoritesThe Philadelphia Eagles (1-1) will play their second straight road game with Michael Vick as their starting quarterback when they visit the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-1) on Sunday. Vick was not initially the first choice of Philadelphia head coach Andy Reid, who changed his mind a day after naming Kevin Kolb the starter after he missed last week’s 35-32 win over Detroit with a concussion.
The Cincinnati Bengals are 3 point road favorites against the Carolina PanthersThe Carolina Panthers (0-2) will try to jumpstart their offense when they give rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen his first career start against the Cincinnati Bengals (1-1) on Sunday. The Panthers find themselves to be 3-point home underdogs on the NFL spreads following consecutive losses to Tampa Bay (20-7) and the New York Giants (31-18) to start the season.
Josh Freeman and the Bucs are 2.5/3 point home underdogs on Sunday against the SteelersA battle of surprising unbeaten teams takes place in Tampa Bay on Sunday when the Buccaneers (2-0) host the Pittsburgh Steelers (2-0). Last year, it took Tampa 14 weeks to register its second victory of the season. However, the Bucs have excelled thanks to second-year quarterback Josh Freeman, who will face his most difficult test of the young season against a tough Steelers team that enters this matchup as a 2.5/3-point road favorite depending where you shop. We should point out that you should view our NFL football betting lines page so that you can compare the odds between multiple sportsbooks so you are getting the best price no matter who you like in this game.
The Ravens are currently 10.5 point home favorites over the Browns on SundayThe Baltimore Ravens (1-1) hope to get back on track offensively when they visit the Cleveland Browns (0-1) in their home opener on Sunday. The Ravens (-11 on the NFL point spreads) have scored just two touchdowns combined in two games so far this season while the Browns are averaging two touchdowns per game.
Matt Ryan and the Falcons are 3.5 home underdogs on the point spread against the defending champsThe New Orleans Saints (2-0) are still looking to break out offensively as they host the Atlanta Falcons (1-1) on Sunday in a key NFC South matchup. The Saints -3.5 on the current NFL odds have outscored their first two opponents by a combined eight points – averaging just 297.5 yards to rank 21st in the NFL – and hope quarterback Drew Brees can break out with a big game here.
Favre and the 0-2 Vikings are 12 point home favorites against the Lions todayThe Minnesota Vikings (0-2) face a virtual must-win situation early in the season as they host the Detroit Lions (0-2) in a divisional battle between two winless NFC North teams on Sunday. The Vikings (-12 on the NFL betting lines) simply can not afford to lose another game at this point if they have any hopes of going to the playoffs because the tough part of their schedule awaits them after their bye next week.
The Texans Matt Schaub leads 2-0 Houston against 0-2 Dallas and are 2.5/3 point home favorites depending where you shopThe Dallas Cowboys (0-2) and Houston Texans (2-0) have been preseason rivals over the years but will get a chance to play a game that actually means something when they meet on Sunday in a showdown as big as the state of Texas. Not many people thought the Cowboys would be winless after the first two games, but they can erase that memory with a win at Houston. The Cowboys are 2.5/3 point underdogs on the current lines but with that hovering around a key number like 3 make sure you shop around and get the best price and you can do so on our NFL betting odds page.
The Patriots are 14.5 point home favorites over the hapless Bills on SundayThe New England Patriots (1-1) will try to bounce back from a disappointing loss at New York when they host the Buffalo Bills (0-2) on Sunday in their second straight game against an AFC East opponent. The Patriots opened as 11 point favorites on the NFL betting odds and are now currently 14.5-point favorites this week and could not play two much different halves of football as they did last week in falling to the Jets, 28-14. Then again, the Bills have yet to put together one good half in two games so far this season.
