Week 2 NFL Betting Tips
Tennessee is not the biggest home underdog on the Week 2 NFL odds board, but they are the team getting the least amount of betting support.
The Titans are being picked by less than 30% of the public at OddsShark.com in their consensus picks section. That makes the Baltimore Ravens, favored by a TD to win at Tennessee, the most lopsided action so far.
Tennessee comes off a lame loss to Jacksonville while the Ravens pounded the Steelers. It’s an interesting angle as players make their Week 2 plays in the cool NFL Bankroll Contest, where contestants can earn $1,000 by picking winners against the spread.
But Baltimore is not the Odds Shark Best Bet of the Week – Dallas gets that honor as a small road dog in San Francisco. Some shops have the line at -3, but it’s as low as -1.5 at one shop. The Cowboys are being picked by more than 70% of the wagering public. [ See latest line at TopBet ]
The second top play is the Chiefs at Detroit. The Lions haven’t been a 9-point favorite in more than 11 years and we don’t trust them as big chalk. The Lions were lucky to win at Tampa in Week 1 and the Chiefs can’t possibly be as bad as they showed in losing 41-7 to Buffalo.
