Not only are they 2-0, but usually, the Raiders are a turnover machine,\u201d <\/strong>Avello told Casino.org<\/em>. \u201cThey\u2019re doing everything right. But the Patriots are at home and the public feels that\u2019s the play. The spread is 5.5. Usually, if this were the Patriots with Tom Brady behind center, you wouldn\u2019t find them, much less than 9 or 10 in a game like this.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe Patriots (1-1), who got most of the early money, have won five straight in the series. Quarterback Cam Newton threw for 397 yards and ran for two touchdowns in last week\u2019s loss at Seattle. His four rushing touchdowns are the most in NFL history by a quarterback in the first two games.<\/p>\n
San Francisco 49ers (-3.5) at New York Giants<\/h2>\n
\u201cHawkeye\u201d Pierce and B.J. Hunnicutt might as well be coaching these teams, because their rosters resemble M*A*S*H units.<\/p>\n
For the 49ers (1-1), quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, running backs Tevin Coleman and Raheem Mostert, tight end George Kittle and defensive ends Nick Bosa and Dee Ford are out of action. For the Giants (0-2), running back Saquon Barkley and receiver Sterling Shepard are on injured reserve. Those injuries won\u2019t help the league\u2019s worst offense.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith all those injuries, the 49ers are still a 3.5-point favorite,\u201d <\/strong>Avello told Casino.org<\/em>. \u201cWhat San Francisco will want to do is keep their turnovers to a minimum, which they usually do, and the Giants haven\u2019t been able to run the ball even with Barkley in there. I\u2019d expect to see more San Francisco money.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Niners have received about two-thirds of the action.<\/p>\n
New York Jets at Indianapolis Colts (-11.5)<\/h2>\n
The Colts (1-1) are the heaviest favorites this week, with the line starting at 9 and inching up. The Jets (0-2), who have scored the second-fewest points in the NFL, will be without starting receivers Jamison Crowder and Breshad Perriman.<\/p>\n
The Jets are just not a team that the East Coast people want any part of whatsoever,\u201d <\/strong>Avello said. \u201cBut you always have one thing you\u2019ve got to remember: You always have that Rivers factor. Rivers has burned a lot of money for bettors through the years, so you\u2019ve got to be careful laying too many points when he\u2019s behind center.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nRivers is Philip Rivers. The longtime Chargers quarterback, who is in his first season in Indianapolis, is closing in on two milestones, with 59,848 passing yards and 399 passing touchdowns.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles Rams at Buffalo Bills (-1.5)<\/h2>\n
Chiefs at Ravens isn\u2019t the only battle between undefeated teams. The Bills opened as 3-point favorites over the Rams, but the line has been cut in half.<\/p>\n
Bills quarterback Josh Allen has 300-plus passing yards, two-plus passing touchdowns, and zero interceptions in each of his first two games. Only Mahomes (Chiefs, 2019) and Peyton Manning (Broncos, 2013) have started a season with three such games. The Rams, on the other hand, are second in opponent passer rating.<\/p>\n
At William Hill, the Rams have captured 63 percent of the total number of tickets, but the Bills have received 53 percent of the dollars wagered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
