Meanwhile, Minnesota was 1-3 ATS as a road dog in 2022.
Packers at Falcons

Raiders at Bills
The biggest line of Week 2 resides in Buffalo as the Bills are a 10-point favorite over Las Vegas. This was a spot where the Bills struggled last year, however, as they went 3-6 ATS as a home favorite in 2022. As for the Raiders, they were able to earn the SU win against the Broncos in Week 1 but did not cover. As a road 'dog last year, Josh McDaniels' team was 3-2 ATS.
Ravens at Bengals
Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati offense looked rusty managing just three points in a Week 1 loss to the Browns. Still, the Bengals are a field-goal favorite as they are set to host a Ravens team that suffered multiple injuries over the weekend. The Bengals were 5-3 ATS at home a season ago, while they were one of the better bets when on the road in 2022, owning a 7-3 ATS record.
Seahawks at Lions
The Lions will be well-rested for this game after playing on Thursday to kick off the season. They pulled out the upset over Kansas City and will look to open up Ford Field with a win as well. Detroit was 7-2 ATS at home last season. Meanwhile, Seattle was blown out at the hands of the Rams in Week 1 after being a 4.5-point favorite. As a road dog a year ago, the Seahawks did fare quite well and were 3-5 ATS.
Chargers at Titans
Los Angeles is coming off a shootout with the Dolphins where it came up just short. The Chargers are now favored on the road however as they get ready to head to Nashville with a matchup against the Titans. The Chargers were 7-3 ATS on the road last season, while Tennessee, who lost to New Orleans by one on Sunday, was 3-5 ATS at Nissan Stadium in 2022.
Bears at Buccaneers
Chicago didn't have an answer for the Packers in Week 1, falling in the home opener and failing to cover. The Bears now take their 0-1 SU and ATS record to Tampa where they'll face a Bucs team riding high off an upset win over Minnesota. Last season, the Bears were tied for the worst ATS road record in the NFL, going 2-6.
Chiefs at Jaguars
Jacksonville had some issues containing Colts rookie QB Anthony Richardson but was able to muster the Week 1 win and cover in the process. The Jaguars look to go 2-0 SU and ATS when they host the defending Super Bowl champions, who are looking to rebound following an opening loss to Detroit. Kansas City was 4-5 ATS on the road a season ago while the Jaguars were 5-3 ATS at home in 2022.
Colts at Texans
Neither one of these AFC South clubs was able to pull out the win in Week 1, nor were they able to cover. Houston is a slim 1.5-point favorite simply due to them playing at home. This will be the second time in NFL history that the starting quarterbacks (Anthony Richardson and C.J. Stroud) are both 21 or younger.
49ers at Rams
Both of these NFC West clubs dropped 30 points in their Week 1 wins and also pulled out the ATS victory as well. So far, Kyle Shanahan has the edge in this rivalry between himself and Rams head coach Sean McVay. Shanahan is 9-3 SU against McVay in their careers, which includes a season sweep a season ago.
Giants at Cardinals
New York is coming off an embarrassing shutout loss to the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in Week 1 where it was unable to get anything going offensively and coughed up the football multiple times. Despite that, the Giants are 5.5-point road favorites as they head to Arizona to face the Cardinals in Week 2. The Cards fell to the Commanders in Week 1 but were able to record the ATS win, losing by just four points after being a touchdown dog. Last season, the Giants covered 77.8% of their road games, which was the best cover rate in the NFL.
Jets at Cowboys
Dallas' defense dominated in Week 1 during a 40-0 victory over the Giants. The Cowboys now head home to AT&T Stadium where they'll await the Jets and Aaron Rodgers. The Cowboys were 6-3 ATS at home last season, but have historically struggled against Rodgers. The ex-Packer is 8-2 SU in his career against the Cowboys (including playoffs).
Commanders at Broncos
The Commanders were able to notch a win in Week 1 but did fail to cover against Arizona. Meanwhile, Denver couldn't get the victory over Las Vegas but was able to stay within the number. Last season, the Broncos were 3-5 ATS at home.
Dolphins at Patriots
Miami lit up the scoreboard with its win (and cover) on the road against the Chargers in Week 1. Tua Tagovailoa threw for 466 yards and three touchdowns while connecting with Tyreek Hill for 11 catches, 215 yards and two scores. The Dolphins now take this high-powered offense to Foxborough to take on the Patriots, who fell to the Eagles and also couldn't cover. Tagovailoa is 4-0 SU in his career against Bill Belichick. New England is trying to avoid its first 0-2 start since 2001.
Saints at Panthers
New Orleans pulled out the win against the Titans in Week 1 but was unable to cover at home. The Saints now go to Charlotte to face the Panthers, who fell in Bryce Young's first start to the Falcons. With Derek Carr now under center for the Saints, they'll look to improve on the 3-5 ATS road record they had a season ago.
Browns at Steelers
Cleveland pulled off the home upset by shutting down the Bengals in the opener. In Week 2, it will go on the road and face another AFC North opponent in the Steelers, who struggled offensively in a loss to the 49ers. In 2022, Pittsburgh was 4-3-1 ATS at home, while the Browns were 4-4 ATS on the road.
