Some New Yorker is bored.
No faith in Carson Wentz. As he gears up for a matchup against his former Eagles team, the public is banking on the Commanders QB to have at least one mishap. At Caesars Sportsbook, 97% of the bets on his INT prop are on him throwing an interception.
Saints inactives: QB Jameis Winston and RB Alvin Kamara are both ACTIVE
Bengals inactives: RT La'el Collins and TE Hayden Hurts are both ACTIVE
Ravens inactives: Ravens rookie NT Travis Jones will make his NFL debut in Week 3. Tight end Nick Boyle is also active.
Patriots inactives: WR Jakobi Meyers and S Kyle Dugger officially OUT
Lions inactives: RB D'Andre Swift (ankle), TE T.J. Hockenson (hip), C Frank Ragnow (foot) and DE Aidan Hutchinson (thigh) – all listed as questionable – are ACTIVE for Week 3 at Minnesota.
Raiders inactives: Josh Jacobs officially ACTIVE.
Bills inactives: Jordan Poyer will not play in Buffalo's road matchup vs. Miami.

After digesting some of the Sunday morning splits at Caesars, here are a couple of contrarian same-game parlays I find interesting if you want to fade the public.
Chiefs at Colts
Colts ML + Michael Pittman Jr. Over 70.5 receiving yards + Jonathan Taylor Over 88.5 rushing yards = +575
Bengals at Jets
Under 45 + Joe Mixon Over 75.5 rushing yards + Michael Carter Over 2.5 receptions = +580
Justin Herbert knee-jerk reaction? A Michigan bettor put $240 on the Chargers to be the lowest scoring team of the week at +8000, according to Caesars Sportsbook.
Potential win: $19,200
