News & Updates

The weekend of second week of the NFL season is here, and oddsmakers are keeping spreads razor thin. Out of 16 games, 15 have lines of 6.5 points or fewer, a sign that bettors could be in for another slate of tight finishes. The Ravens are the only heavy favorites, sitting at -11.5 against the Browns. Elsewhere, spreads remain tight with the Steelers -3 over the Seahawks, the Broncos -1.5 against the Colts, and the Eagles -1.5 in a much-anticipated Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs. The 49ers, missing Brock Purdy and George Kittle, still sit at -3 versus the Saints after opening at -7.

Key NFL Week 2 betting notes

Ravens vs. Browns: The only double-digit spread of the week at -11.5.
Steelers -3 vs. Seahawks: Pittsburgh gets a slight edge at home.
Broncos -1.5 vs. Colts: Denver’s narrow line shows bettors are cautious.
Eagles -1.5 vs. Chiefs: A rematch of last season’s Super Bowl makes for one of the most-watched games of the week.
49ers -3 vs. Saints: Injuries haven’t flipped the line, but the early -7 movement shows how much Purdy and Kittle’s absence matters.

College football Week 3 schedule: Big names on deck

What it means for bettors

NFL Week 2 lines show sharp resistance to blowouts, keeping most games within one score. Bettors will need to decide if injuries (like the 49ers’ situation) or emotional spots (like Eagles-Chiefs) offer real edges. In college football, Saturday’s board provides plenty of value on underdogs in high-profile matchups, especially where ranked teams face tricky road tests.

With spreads tightening across the NFL and a stacked Saturday in college football, Week 2 and Week 3 set up as must-watch — and must-bet — weekends.
