It was definitely an interesting week of football on the Week 1 NFLX lines, as there were a number of big time blow outs, something that is not characteristic this early in the year. The New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers posted two of the biggest blowouts, winning games by 35 and 25 points respectively and posting dominating outings on both sides of the ball. QB Tom Brady didn’t suit for the Pats last week, nor did most of his first team offensive friends. Tampa Bay is at home on Thursday though, and that is good enough for the oddsmakers to make it a 2.5 point favorite.

A dozen home teams won last week, and this week, there are a slew of hosts that are favorites on the NFL Week 2 lines. This week, there are four teams that are favored by at least six points at home, including the Green Bay Packers (vs. the Arizona Cardinals), Baltimore Ravens (vs. the Kansas City Chiefs), Miami Dolphins (vs. the Carolina Panthers), and the New York Jets (vs. the Cincinnati Bengals).

Once again this week, there is only one team that is favored on the road. Last week, the Bucs pulled off a 25-0 romp over the Chiefs as we mentioned before as road favorites, and this week, the NFL odds are calling for a big win for the Washington Redskins over the Indianapolis Colts. Without QB Peyton Manning taking snaps, Indy was destroyed last week by the up and coming St. Louis Rams 33-10, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see similar this week, especially with Washington coming off of that 16-7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the home opener.

‘Totals’ are all across the board this week as well. The lowest number of the bunch is the 32.5 on the board between the Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens. These two offenses combined for just two field goals in Week 1 of the preseason, and both field goals were scored by Baltimore. Now, both head coaches are going to try to get their acts together and get some TDs on the board. This might seem like an overreaction by the oddsmakers, but they kept the ‘totals’ in both of their first two preseason games relatively low as well, so this low of a number isn’t a surprise.

The highest ‘total’ is the 37.5 between the Pack and the Cardinals. Arizona’s first team offense struggled against the Oakland Raiders last week, but in the end, the team was good for 24 points. Green Bay had the exact opposite problem, putting up 17 points with the first teamers on the field and scoring absolutely nothing with the second team out there. The key is that both of these defenses are coming off of bad weeks in which they allowed teams to score in the mid-20s, which is why this ‘total’ is so much higher than most of the rest.

There is a nationally televised game every single night this week in the preseason NFL betting action. The Philadelphia Eagles are three point underdogs to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the battle of Pennsylvania on Thursday night on Fox. On Friday, Fox has a southern style showdown between the Atlanta Falcons and the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags are three point favorites. The NFL Network is going to showcase Saturday’s Houston Texans as 1.5 point favorites at home against the New Orleans Saints. Sunday Night Football on NBC debuts this week with the Dallas Cowboys at -1 on the NFL Week 2 odds against the San Diego Chargers. Things wrap up on Monday Night Football with the duel in the Meadowlands between the Chicago Bears and the New York Giants, where the hosts are 4.5 point favorites.
