Packers vs. Commanders betting preview

The Green Bay Packers made the biggest move of the offseason roughly a week before the season began by trading for Micah Parsons and it paid immediate dividends last week. They beat the Lions 27-13 and Parsons managed a sack despite only playing in 45% of snaps with Green Bay easing him in as he learns the system and recovers from a back injury. Now Parsons and the Packers get Jayden Daniels at home on a short week and Parsons registered 4.5 sacks in two games against the Commanders with the Cowboys last season.

That plus home-field advantage are two big reasons why the Packers are favored by three points. However, the latest Packers vs. Commanders odds from DraftKings also list the over/under at 49, so oddsmakers aren't exactly expecting a low-scoring game. Parsons is priced at +112 to record a sack if you're looking to play NFL player props and DraftKings is offering several promotions, including a Ghost Leg Parlay, Commanders vs. Packers NFL No Sweat Bet and a Week 2 NFL parlay profit boost. Bet on Week 2 NFL action today and take advantage of $200 in bonus bets instantly and over $200 off on NFL Sunday ticket as a new user.

Thursday college football betting preview

In the only game on the college football schedule tonight, we'll get an in-state rivalry matchup as Wake Forest hosts NC State. The Demon Deacons and the Wolfpack are both off to 2-0 starts but their respective programs are certainly on opposite ends of the spectrum. Jake Dickert is in his first year as head coach at Wake Forest while Dave Doeren is in his 13th season at the helm for NC State.

The latest NC State vs. Wake Forest odds at DraftKings list the visiting Wolfpack as 7.5-point favorites while the over/under is 52.5 points. NC State is also the -290 favorite on the money line while Wake Forest is a +230 underdog. You can bet on any of those college football betting options and get $200 in bonus bets instantly and over $200 off on NFL Sunday ticket as a new user.
