Week 2 of the NFL season is shaping up to be an exciting one, and bettors have already placed significant money on the Chargers, Colts, and Jets, according to BetMGM's handle data. These three teams have attracted the most betting action in terms of money wagered, with sharp bettors influencing key line movements.
The Los Angeles Chargers have garnered substantial backing for their -5.5 road matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The line opened at -4.5, but sharp money quickly moved it in favor of the Chargers, who come off a solid 22-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. In contrast, the Panthers are trying to bounce back after a crushing 47-10 road loss to the New Orleans Saints. With the Chargers standing at 1-0 and carrying 90% of the handle, bettors are confident in their ability to cover the spread against a struggling Panthers team.
The Indianapolis Colts have also attracted significant betting attention, favored by -2 on the road against the Green Bay Packers. The Colts are seeking redemption after a narrow 29-27 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 1, and bettors are backing them to get back on track. The Packers, meanwhile, are in a tough spot after losing 34-29 to the Philadelphia Eagles in a neutral-site game in Brazil. With starting quarterback Jordan Love injured, Malik Willis is expected to step in, making the Colts the favored pick with bettors wagering heavily on them to cover.
The New York Jets round out the list, favored at -4 in their road game against the Tennessee Titans. Despite the Jets’ 32-19 Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers (who were missing star running back Christian McCaffrey), bettors are optimistic about their chances against the Titans, who lost 24-17 to the Chicago Bears without allowing an offensive touchdown. The line opened at -4, and the Jets have seen strong support, as the Titans continue to face uncertainty following their poor Week 1 performance.
With significant money on the Chargers, Colts, and Jets, Week 2 could have major implications for bettors. These teams are expected to bounce back or continue their strong performances, and sportsbooks are bracing for the outcomes of these heavily wagered matchups.
