Geoff Ulrich provides top betting trends to help you place NFL bets on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Week 2 of the NFL is already upon us and, as per usual, there is already plenty to overreact to.

This week kicks off with a Thursday night game between the Chiefs and Chargers that features two teams with legit MVP candidates at QB and major Super Bowl aspirations. That game has the biggest total we have seen to date at 54.5 and a line that has fluctuated between -3.5/+3.5 to -4.5/+4.5.

You can find the best odds and lines at DraftKings Sportsbook and throughout the season this article will be your guide for all things betting trends in the NFL. We’ll be looking at each team’s recent results straight-up, against the spread and against the totals to help spot trends that can be useful to you as you make your picks for the week. With just one week in the bag we’ll be looking at past year trends, coaching trends and home/away splits for underdogs and favorites to help us make sense of the lines.

Here are some key definitions of acronyms that we’ll use throughout the article:

  • SU: Straight Up
  • ATS: Against the Spread
  • O/U: Over/Under
  • MOV: Margin of Victory
