NFL Week 2 Early Odds, Picks & Predictions: Jets at Browns

New York Jets at Cleveland Browns

Last week, the Steelers were very suspiciously listed as 6.5-point underdogs against the defending AFC champions. They ended up winning that game. This week, the Jets are suspiciously only 6.5-point underdogs against the Browns, despite looking absolutely horrible at home in Week 1 against the Ravens. 

This feels like the game where Vegas is trying to bait bettors, and if they like the action they’re getting on both sides, this line isn’t going to move at all, even if it seems like the Browns should see it tick in their favor.

What is Betting Against the Spread?

Betting “against the spread” refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.

What is an Over/Under Bet?

Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.

What is a Moneyline Bet?

A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
