NFL Sun Info

NY Giants are 0-12 UNDER in their last 12 home games.

Cincinnati Bengals started the season with a 0-1 record. The offense broke down in Week 1, with Joe Burrow throwing four interceptions on the day.

He paired those interceptions with 338 yards and two touchdowns. Although the Bengals turned the ball over five times, they still only lost by three points. This week, Burrow needs to focus on playing a clean game. 

Something the Bengals did really well last week was running the ball. Cincinnati put up 133 total rushing yards, most of which were from Joe Mixon.

The starting running back had 27 carries for 82 yards. In Week 2, the Bengals need to establish the run and then attack the Cowboys'
secondary, which struggled last week. The question is, can they cover the seven-point spread?

After a 19-3 loss to the season, Dallas is hoping to have a much better outing. Tasked with running the offense is Cooper Rush, who has experience under center.

Last season, Rush got the start against the Minnesota Vikings. He went 24-40 with 325 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in a 20-16 victory. Rush is an adequate quarterback that fits the lineup well.

Last week, the Cowboys' offense had a hard time moving the ball down the field. We feel that they abandoned the running game early, and they need to get back to basics.

Ezekiel Elliot had ten carries for 52 yards but didn't play much of a factor last week. Instead, the Cowboys tried to force the ball through the air, which resulted in only three points. 

Interestingly enough, the Cowboys have gone 3-0 against the Bengals in the last three meetings. Their most recent game was in 2020, when the Cowboys beat the Bengals 30-7.

One thing you need to keep in mind, however, is that Joe Burrow wasn't in the lineup. The reason why the Bengals come in as a heavy favorite is that they're a much better team. 

Cooper Rush getting the start doesn't increase the chances for the Cowboys to cover, either. Dallas will likely go with a more conservative game plan to prevent the chances of turnovers.

Because of this, we'll go with the Bengals, who nearly got a win even though they turned the ball over five times.

DunkelIndex Free Pick: Cincinnati Bengals -7, OVER

Prop Picks

Cincinnati (-110) OVER 24.5 Points

Cincinnati averaged 26.3 points per game last season on offense, which ranked No. 9 in the NFL.  Dallas allowed 21.2 points per game last season on defense, which ranked No. 8 in the NFL. That average increased to 22.2 points per game at home. Scores have gone OVER in 17 of the Cowboys’ 25 games following an ATS loss.

With Dunkel predicting an Cincinnati victory by the score of 28-18, take the Bengals (-110) to finish OVER their Vegas team total of 24.5 points against the Cowboys.

Cooper Rush (-125) OVER 219.5 Passing Yards

Dallas averaged 279.4 passing yards per game last season on offense, which ranked No. 4 in the NFL. Cincinnati allowed 248.7 passing yards per game last season on defense, which ranked No. 26 in the NFL.

With Dunkel predicting the final score going OVER the Vegas point total, take Rush (-125) to finish OVER 219.5 passing yards versus the Bengals.

By the end of the first half, the Arizona Cardinals were down 23-7 to the Kansas City Chiefs. Instead of blaming the offense for not keeping up, this blame goes to the defense.

Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs passed for 360 yards and five touchdowns against the Cardinals. If Arizona wants any chance of winning this game, they'll need to iron out their secondary. 

On offense, the Cardinals didn't do too bad in the second half. Overall, QB Kyler Murray finished the game with 193 passing yards and two touchdowns.

He didn't turn the ball over once, which was also impressive. They played a clean game offensively; it was their defense that let them down. The good news is the Raiders don't have nearly the offensive firepower as Kansas City.

Just like the Cardinals' defense needs to clean up their act, so does QB Derek Carr. Carr went 22-37, throwing for 295 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions.

Anyone will tell you that throwing three interceptions is essentially giving away the game. The Raiders also didn't bother to get the running game going, either. They ended the day with just 64 yards rushing.

As they head into this game, they should focus on a few bright spots from Week 1. For starters, the connection between Carr and Davante Adams. Adams had ten receptions for 141 yards and a touchdown.

If they can incorporate the running game, Adams could have an even better stat line. The Raiders' defense also kept the Chargers to 24 points, an impressive feat in itself.

The Raiders had a few positive things to build on from last week, especially on offense. They had a good game, but the turnovers are what lost it for them.

Derek Carr has a habit of forcing the ball into spaces that he shouldn't. Because of this, we expect to see a few interceptions from him this week as well. Keep in mind, the Cardinals are 2-1 in their last three against Las Vegas.

Arizona needs to fix a few things defensively, but they were also playing the Chiefs. Any team is going to struggle to contain Patrick Mahomes.

They come into this game as 5.5-point underdogs, and it might be a risky pick, but we'll take them. We'll also take the under since the total has gone under in four of Arizona's last six games.

DunkelIndex Free Pick: Arizona Cardinals +5.5, UNDER

Prop Picks

Las Vegas (-110) UNDER 28.5 Points

Las Vegas averaged 21.8 points per game last season on offense, which ranked No. 18 in the NFL. That average remained relatively steady at 22.2 points per game at home. Scores have gone UNDER in five of the Raiders’ last seven games as a Vegas home favorite.

With Dunkel predicting an Arizona victory by the score of 26-21, take the Raiders (-110) to finish UNDER their Vegas team total of 28.5 points against the Cardinals.

Kyler Murray (-115) UNDER 254.5 Passing Yards

Las Vegas allowed 223.0 passing yards per game last season on defense, which ranked No. 12 in the NFL. That average decreased to 219.8 passing yards per game at home.

With Dunkel predicting the final score staying UNDER the Vegas point total, take Murray (-115) to finish UNDER 254.5 passing yards versus the Raiders.

Commanders vs. Lions Betting Trends

Under is 8-2-1 in the last 11 meetings

Under is 9-4 in Commanders last 13 games overall

Over is 5-2 in Lions last 7 games overall

Commanders vs. Lions Prediction:

The Commanders went winless against the spread in their previous four trips to Ford Field and are just 1-5 against the number in their last six games versus the Lions overall. The home team in this series has also covered in five of the previous six meetings, while the Commanders are 1-5 against the number in their last six games played in September (their lone ATS win in September came last week). On the other side, the Lions have covered in five straight home games, in four straight against a team with a winning record and in six of their last seven coming off a loss. DET -1.5 /A.Rome

The Commanders had a seesaw affair with the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. Washington fired out to a 14-3 lead, and that's what the score was at halftime. The Jaguars scored 19 unanswered points to take a 22-14 lead into the middle of the fourth quarter before the Commanders came alive. QB Carson Wentz hit WR Terry McLaurin on a 49-yard score just over two minutes after Jacksonville's final score, re-taking the lead 22-20.

With less than two minutes left, WR Jahan Dotson scored on a 24-yard pass to put a bow on the scoring, 28-22. It was an unfortunate score if you bet Jacksonville on the money line, side or you had an UNDER bet. The Commanders saw Wentz go over 300 yards while throwing for four touchdowns, including two to the rookie Dotson, one to Scary Terry and one to WR Curtis Samuel.

The Lions led 7-0 with an early first quarter score from RB Jamaal Williams, but that was the last time Detroit would lead the game. The Philadelphia Eagles scored 21 unanswered points, including a pick-six of QB Jared Goff thanks to CB James Bradberry, and the Eagles never looked back.

Philadelphia led 38-21 heading to the fourth quarter, and Detroit continued to fight. Williams scored his second TD of the game, and WR DJ Chark Jr, scored on a 22-yard touchdown to close the lead to 38-35, but that was it. It was high-scoring, the late score gave the Lions the cover, but it was hard knocks again for Detroit in a season opener. BY D.Dobish

However, the Panthers left too much time on the clock for QB Jacoby Brissett and the Browns. No. Seriously. Brissett and the Browns offense scooted down the field, moving into position for a 58-yard field goal by rookie PK Cade York. Head coach Kevin Stefanski, unlike Denver's Nathaniel Hackett, was able to cash in on a lengthy late field goal for the road win.

Speaking of stealing games on the road, the New York Giants should've been wearing ski masks during the game in Tennessee last week. The Titans fired out to a 13-0 lead heading into halftime, and they carried that lead early into the third quarter. That's when the G-Men, in particular RB Saquon Barkley, came alive on offense. He had a 4-yard touchdown run, and another long 68-yard run in the half. He ended up with 18 carries for 164 yards and a touchdown, bouncing back from a couple of seasons of missed games and missed opportunities due to injury.

After the Giants tied it up at 13-13, the Titans saw QB Ryan Tannehill hit RB Dontrell Hilliard for his second touchdown of the game, making it 20-13 late in the third.

The G-Men got deep into Tennessee territory in the fourth quarter, but QB Daniel Jones tossed an interception in the end zone, giving the Titans the ball back. On the sidelines, new head coach Brian Daboll was seen destroying Jones in a one-sided conversation. Whatever was said must've stuck. Jones led the team down the field for a touchdown drive, making it 20-19. Instead of kicking the extra point with 66 seconds left in regulation, the first-year head coach in his debut elected to go for two. Steel balls. And Jones hit Barkley for the two-point conversion, making it 21-20.

The Titans did move the ball down the field for a potential game-winning field goal, but PK Randy Bullock chunked it, much to the dismay of OVER (43.5) bettors. And the G-Men held on, stealing the win in Nashville. BY D.Dobish
