NFL Parlay of the Week
Last week we got our first real look at all 32 NFL teams in action and while most of the favorites held true to form straight-up, there were some golden opportunities to cash-in on some bad lines against the spread. That is bound to hold true again this week so here is my two-team NFL parlay for Week 2 based on lines provided by [dfads params=’groups=63740&limit=1&return_javascript=0′].
Game 1- Washington Redskins vs. Green Bay Packers
Pointspread: Green Bay -9
Total Line: 49.5
ATS Matchup Stats | NFL Gambling Insight!
Washington is going to have to quickly rebound from a stunning 33-27 loss to Philadelphia this past Monday night as a three-point home favorite. The total in that game went OVER the 51.5-point line. It found itself down by as many as 26 points before rallying to keep the scoring closer than this game really was.
The good news is that Robert Griffin III finished on a strong note after looking extremely rusty in the first half.

Green Bay had a four-point lead with eight minutes to play in its season opener against San Francisco, but it could not hold on in a 34-28 loss as a five-point road underdog. The total in this matchup went OVER a closing line of 47 points.
Aaron Rodgers had no problem moving the ball up and down the field through the air against one of the best defenses in the league, so look for him to have another big day this Sunday as well.
Both of these teams come into this game with a number of question marks on defense, which should translate to quite a few points on the scoreboard.
The total has gone OVER in four of Washington’s last six games and in four of the 49ers’ last five, so I am going with the OVER 49.5 in this game as the front-end of this week’s parlay. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
Game 2- San Francisco 49ers vs. Seattle Seahawks
Pointspread: Seattle -2.5
Total Line: 44
ATS Matchup Stats | NFL Gambling Insight!
Everyone wondered if Colin Kaepernick was the real deal after leading San Francisco to the Super Bowl last season and the third-year quarterback answered that question with 412 yards passing and three touchdowns on opening day.
These numbers are impressive but the 49ers are going to have to do a much better job running the ball to win this game after gaining just 90 yards on the ground against Green Bay.
Seattle has already proven it knows how to win ugly and that was clearly the case last week in a 12-7 victory over Carolina as a three-point favorite on the road.
The Seahawks were held to just three points in the first half and did not find the end zone until five minutes into the fourth quarter. The good news is that Seattle’s defense looked to be in mid-season form; holding the Panthers to 253 yards of total offense.
San Francisco is 1-5 against the spread in its last six trips to Seattle, which is one of the toughest places in the league to get a win.
The Seahawks went a perfect 8-0 at home last season and given that the half point on the spread in in their favor, I am going with Seattle covering the 2.5 points as the back-end of this parlay.
St. Louis vs. Atlanta NFL Football Spread/Handicapping
Things didn’t go the way the Atlanta Falcons planned in their opener against New Orleans. They didn’t play that terribly poorly but the result was the same, they just have trouble beating the Saints in that building and it looks like having Sean Payton on the sidelines is going to make a difference for New Orleans.
Cowboys vs Chiefs NFL Handicapping
A pair of 1-0 teams meet in Kansas City in Week 1 when the Kansas City Chiefs host the Dallas Cowboys. The Chiefs won their first game of the Andy Reid era on Sunday, while the Cowboys are riding high after finally beating the Giants in their own building.
The Indianapolis Colts had trouble with a bad Oakland team in Week 1. This week they’ll get an improving Miami Dolphins squad that gave them trouble last season, and is coming off an impressive Week 1 win.
Cleveland vs Baltimore NFL Football Spread/Handicapping
Every team in the AFC North lost their opening game last week but not all of those losses were of equal concern. Baltimore went into Denver with the best of intentions but didn’t have an answer for Broncos QB Peyton Manning, it looks like few will this season.
Titans vs Texans NFL Handicapping
A pair of 1-0 teams will meet in Houston on Sunday, but these teams are in very different form. The Houston Texans had some trouble with San Diego on Monday night, but they ended that game on a 24-0 run, and that momentum could carry over to Sunday and pose a real problem for the Tennessee Titans.
Chargers vs Eagles NFL Handicapping
Chip Kelly’s offense didn’t disappoint in Week 1. The Philadelphia Eagles played fast and put up 33 points in a win over the Redskins, with most of the team’s yardage coming, as expected, on the ground. Now they’ll look to put on an offensive show for their home crowd in their home opener against the San Diego Chargers.

Week 1 of the NFL season is in the books and what a weekend it was! Upsets, injuries and some teams that did exactly what they were supposed to do have shaken the Power Rankings just a bit. But not much has changed at the top – strong QB play has kept the top 3 intact.

Jets Try for Improbable 20-0 Start – At Patriots on Thursday Night
The New York Jets and New England Patriots meet on Thursday both coming off opening weeks wins but with different tastes in their mouths. For the Jets a win against Tampa Bay was met with utter jubilation while a win in Week 1 for New England over Buffalo came with a sense of dissatisfaction.
Jacksonville vs Oakland Betting?
Battle of the Bad – Raiders Host Jags in Week 2
Unless you have Maurice Jones-Drew or Darren McFadden on your Fantasy team, the interest level in the game between the Jags and Raiders in Week 2 doesn’t exactly jump off the page. Both teams were expected to lose in Week 1 but only 1 team was even competitive.
South Carolina vs Georgia College Football Handicapping
The Georgia Bulldogs face a very early must-win game after dropping their opener to Clemson, and they can’t be happy seeing the South Carolina Gamecocks coming to town.
OSU vs UTSA College Football Handicapping
It doesn’t seem to matter all that much who is running Mike Gundy’s system, but after a big time performance in Week 1, J.W. Walsh has grabbed the reins of the offense and it doesn’t appear he’ll be letting go any time soon.
