Buffalo Bills laying 5.5 points at Miami Dolphins in Week 2

The Buffalo Bills are a 5.5-point road favorite against AFC East rival Miami Dolphins in Week 2.

The Miami Dolphins (0-1) try to bounce back from an opening-week loss with a Week 2 home matchup vs. the rival Buffalo Bills (1-0). Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET at Hard Rock Stadium. Below, we take a look at the early Week 2 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

Bills Mafia looked impressive in their 2020 debut—winning and covering against the New York Jets 27-17. QB Josh Allen did a little bit of everything, throwing for 312 yards with two TDs and rushing for a team-high 57 yards with one score.

The ‘Phins couldn’t get much going in their 21-11 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 1. Questions on when we’ll see QB Tua Tagovailoa should follow a Ryan Fitzpatrick performance where he only threw for 191 yards and had zero TDs with three interceptions.

Green Bay Packers betting-odds favorite vs. Detriot Lions in Week 2

After a big offensive showing in Week 1, the Green Bay Packers are moderate favorites to beat the Detroit Lions during Week 2.

Coming off a big offensive Week 1 showing, the Green Bay Packers (1-0) are moderate favorites over the Detroit Lions (0-1) when they meet at 1 p.m. ET Sunday during NFL Week 2 action.

Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers put on a clinic in a 43-34 victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1, throwing for 364 yards and four touchdowns. Davante Adams did most of that damage, hauling in 14 catches for 156 yards and two touchdowns. Meanwhile, the Lions led the Chicago Bears most of the game before giving up a late score and losing 27-23. QB Matthew Stafford had the team in position to win at the end, but rookie RB D’Andre Swift couldn’t come up with a catch in the end zone to seal the Chicago victory.

According to the oddsmakers at BetMGM Sportsbook, the Packers are 5.5-point favorites over the Lions and this game is expected to be a decent offensive output with the Over/Under set at 47.5 points.

Indianapolis Colts odds favorite over Jacksonville Jaguars in NFL Week 1 action

When the Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1, the Colts come in as betting odds favorites

The Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars meet in Week 1 Sunday, Sept. 13th at 1 p.m. ET as both clubs kickoff their 2020 NFL regular season. For anyone that has paid attention to the Jaguars recently, it should come as no surprise that the Colts are the favorite to win this matchup.

According to the oddsmakers at BetMGM Sportsbook, the Colts, with new starting QB Philip Rivers at the helm, are 7.5-point favorites over the Jaguars. That seems almost too low to us. After the Jaguars have nearly purged all of their most talented players in the past two seasons, one would think a double-digit spread wouldn’t have been out of the question in this one.

With an Over/Under set at 45 points, the oddsmakers expect this to be in the middle-of-the-road of scoring during the first week of the NFL season.

Colts vs. Jaguars sports betting odds and lines
