NFL Week 2 Betting Recap: Rough Week for Bettors

After a strong Week 1, the NFL and college football betting markets saw a sharp swing back in favor of oddsmakers in Week 2.

Adair Horne of BetMGM described the weekend as "extremely rough" for bettors, citing five upsets and only seven favorites covering the spread. Notably, the Ravens and Buccaneers, both heavy home favorites, suffered losses to the Saints and Browns respectively, causing significant damage to public parlays. sweetbonanza.qpon

Caesars Sports head of football trading Joey Feazel noted that the Ravens' and Buccaneers' defeats "popped the cork" for oddsmakers. The Browns' victory over the Buccaneers was particularly celebrated by Caesars staff, who jokingly embraced their status as "honorary members of the Dawg Pound."
