In the NFL betting odds Week 2 edition of what’s my line movement, here’s what we know for sure.
For the first time since 2020, the Detroit Lions are the chalk in the NFL odds for a regular-season game. Meanwhile, the Tennessee Titans, last season’s top seed in the AFC, are 10-point underdogs.

Week 2 Biggest Line Movement
The line on the Dallas Cowboys vs Cincinnati Bengals game opened at Dallas -2. Then, as the reality set in that Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott would be requiring thumb surgery and thus be out for several weeks, it wasn’t only the Dallas Super Bowl odds that took a hit.
“We ran the ball efficiently last week and I’m looking forward to [doing so in Week 2]… Just gotta protect Cooper [Rush] and establish the run game.”

The Bengals, like Dallas coming off a Week 1 home-field loss, are now the 7-point chalk in this game. Over the previous two seasons when Prescott didn’t play, the Cowboys were 5-7 straight up.
Biggest Total Movement In Week 2
Just as the spread on the Cowboys vs Bengals game was altered by nine points once Prescott’s unjust status became clear, so too has the total been impacted in a similar fashion.
The over/under for this game opened at 50.5 points. It’s since dipped to 41.5 points.

Minus Prescott for much of the season-opening loss to Tampa Bay, the Cowboys managed to put just three points up on the scoreboard. In eight of the 12 games Dallas has played without Prescott since 2020, the Cowboys have gone under the total.
Lions are Shortest Week 1 Favorites
In 18 games under head coach Dan Campbell, the Detroit Lions are 3-14-1 straight up. But that’s only half the story. At the same time, Detroit is 12-6 against the spread with Campbell in charge as we look into the NFL team trends entering Week 2.
One thing the Lions have never been under Campbell’s tutelage is the chalk, Last week, they couldn’t beat the Philadelphia Eagles, losing 38-35. This week, the Lions are facing Philly’s old QB in Washington’s Carson Wentz. And Detroit does so as 1-point home favorites.

That’s come down from the Week 2 opening line of Detroit -1.5, but it’s still giving the Lions favored status. It’s the first time that’s happened in 24 games.
On November 22, 2020, Detroit was a 3-point favorite at Carolina. The underdog Panthers whipped the Lions 20-0 behind QB Teddy Bridgewater. It’s been so long, that was three starting QBs ago for Carolina.
Biggest Week 2 Spreads
Four teams are favored by exactly 10 points in the betting odds for Week 2.
The reigning Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams opened as an 11.5-point pick over the Atlanta Falcons. That spread has since shortened to Rams -10.
Oddsmakers are putting a lot of faith in a Denver Broncos team that couldn’t beat the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1. Denver is a 10-point home choice over the Houston Texans. It’s the 10th time in 17 games that Houston’s been a double-digit point underdog.
Titans dropped 76 points in their last two games vs. the Bills in 2020 and 2021.
Won both games straight up. 🤷♂️ https://t.co/2Z15xTuGRJ

It shouldn’t be surprising at all to see the Green Bay Packers as the 10-point home chalk facing the Chicago Bears. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is 21-5 SU and 17-9 ATS against the Bears. Chicago was a 12-point underdog at Green Bay last season and the Packers covered.
On the other hand, seeing the Buffalo Bills getting 10 points at home to the Tennessee Titans is somewhat shocking. Tennessee did earn the #1 seed in the AFC last season, after all. The Titans are 6-3 ATS in their last nine games against Buffalo.
Jets vs Browns Is the Lowest Total of Week 2
The QB matchup in the Cleveland Browns vs New York Jets game was supposed to be Deshaun Watson vs Zach Wilson. Watson is under NFL suspension. Wilson is injured.
Instead, we’re getting Jacoby Brissett against Joe Flacco and at 39.5 points, the lowest total on the NFL Week 2 schedule.

Starting five games last season for Miami, Brissett averaged 20.2 points per game. In Flacco’s last five starts, his teams are averaging 17.8 PPG. Combined, that adds up to 38 points.
Week 2’s Highest Total is Cardinals vs Raiders
The highest total of the betting odds for Week 2 is being assigned to the Arizona Cardinals vs Las Vegas Raiders game. On the surface, this seems to be misplaced hope.
Four of Arizona’s last six games have gone under. Meanwhile, five of the Raiders’ last six games have also gone under.
Since 2003, when two winless teams play in Week 2 the underdog has gone 44-25-3 (64%) ATS per @Bet_Labs
Week 2 matches:
Falcons +10.5 at Rams
Cowboys +7.5 vs. Bengals
Cardinals +5.5 at Raiders
Jaguars +4 vs. Colts
Texans +10 at Broncos— John Ewing 🦁 (@johnewing) September 14, 2022
Certainly, the Cardinals’ defense figures to do its part. In the last three games, Arizona has surrendered 116 points. Kansas City put 44 up on them in Week 1.
In the last five games, Las Vegas has scored over 20 points twice and over 30 points once. The Raiders have allowed more than 20 points three times and in excess of 30 points once.
