Buffalo Bills 14
Pittsburgh Steelers 24

The books have Pittsburgh cooling off a little bit in week 2 after their surprise blowout of Cleveland. The oddsmakers still like them to handle the young Bills as home.

Cincinnati Bengals 24
Cleveland Browns 17

Cleveland continues to get some respect even after being owned by the Steelers last week. The books obviously are yet to decided on Cincy’s road ability this season.

Indianapolis Colts 27
Tennessee Titans 19

The oddsmakers have the Titans hanging with their division rivals, but likely folding late. They feel Vince Young will provide some problems for the Colts’ defense.

Houston Texans 16
Carolina Panthers 23

Houston enjoyed a big week 1 win, but the books see their run ended quickly this week on the road.

San Francisco 49ers 20
St Louis Rams 24

The oddsmakers like the Rams to bounce back after a terrible offensive performance last week. San Fran hangs around though as this division promises plenty of tight games.

Green Bay Packers 19
New York Giants 18

The books are telling us that this will be the week 2 barn burner. They are making Favre and company a slight favorite on the road giving New York’s defense very little respect after Dallas was able to dominate them in week 1.

Atlanta Falcons 12
Jacksonville Jaguars 22

The oddsmakers have the Jags bounce back against the estimated worst team in the NFC South. This line still shows us that they feel points are going to be hard to come by for Jacksonville.

New Orleans Saints 23
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 19

The Bucs are bad, but they still have some defensive capabilities and the books feel that they will give the Saints some problems on their home turf. Still, no offense keeps them from the win.

Minnesota Vikings 20
Detroit Lions 23

The Vikings are going to run it and the Lions will pass it. The oddsmakers like Detroit’s passing game working like a charm in the dome.

Dallas Cowboys 22
Miami Dolphins 18

This line is very similar to the Saints/Bucs line. The oddsmakers have the better offensive team winning but not without enduring some strife from the defense on the road.

Seattle Seahawks 23
Arizona Cardinals 19

Here’s another one of those close NFC West matchups. Arizona blew it in week 1 and the books don’t think they’ll have quite enough this week either.

New York Jets 12
Baltimore Ravens 22

This line was the last to be set because of Pennington’s injury. With Pennington’s ability to play still uncertain the books have made Baltimore 10-point favorites.

Oakland Raiders 14
Denver Broncos 24

Oakland didn’t even bring its defense to work in week 1. Because of that, the books feel the Broncos will handle them.

Kansas City Chiefs 11
Chicago Bears 24

The Chiefs were blown out on the road in week 1 and although oddsmakers are predicting a little better showing, they still like Chicago to handle them.

San Diego Chargers 21
New England Patriots 25

Everyone will be glued to their TV sets at the start of what could be an NFL Playoff preview. Will it be Tomlinson’s legs or Brady’s arm which gets the edge? The books are saying Brady’s arm at home.

Washington Redskins 16
Philadelphia Eagles 22

The Monday nighter showcases an NFC East matchup. Philly got off to a slow start, but the books feel they’ll get back to .500 with a week 2 win.
