Bengals vs Texans odds (Sunday, Sept. 20 at 1 p.m. ET, CBS)

Opening line

We get a great AFC showdown on Sunday afternoon as Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals test the Houston Texans.

Houston lost a shootout to Buffalo and needs to tighten the bolts on this top-rated defense. Markets are moving toward the host, with the spread climbing to a field goal at most places.

Jaguars vs Broncos odds (Sunday, Sept. 20 at 4:05 p.m. ET, CBS)

Opening line

Denver had a rough Monday in Kansas City but comes back home for this key AFC fight with Jacksonville. The Broncos are always tough in home openers and hit the board just short of field goal favorites. The Under opened just shy of the key number of 44 points.

BACK TO TOP

Colts vs Chiefs odds (Sunday, Sept. 20 at 8:20 p.m. ET, NBC)

Opening line

OK, Patrick Mahomes is fine. He led the Chiefs to a big win over Denver on Monday and that's powering this spread to -6.5 and boosting the total to 47.5 points. The Colts gave up 41 points to Baltimore in Week 1 and play their second straight road game in Week 2.

Giants vs Rams odds (Sunday, Sept. 21 at 8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN)

Opening line

Public perception is contrasting for these teams. New York is coming off a huge home win on opening Sunday, kicking off the Harbaugh Era with a victory over Dallas.

The Rams return home from a trip Down Under and a bad loss to San Francisco in Week 1. On top of that, prized offseason add Myles Garrett is on the IR after just one game. Los Angeles opened -7.5 and has dropped as low as -6.5, despite a rest edge in Week 2.
