Packers Look Strong Early; Some Surprising NFL Week 2 Bets
Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season is officially in the books, and now all eyes are on Week 2. One game that’s getting a lot of attention is Thursday Night Football, where the Green Bay Packers will host the Washington Commanders. If you’re thinking about betting, there’s a pretty strong case being made for the Packers early this season. Their defense looked dominant last week, even against a limited Micah Parsons, and it’s expected that he’ll get more snaps as the weeks go on. With him on the field, this Packers front seven can be a nightmare for any offense. While some might consider betting the under, buying stock in the Packers feels like a smart move—especially since they might be slightly underrated by the betting market.
Another interesting matchup is the Cleveland Browns at the Baltimore Ravens, where the under of 45.5 points is being favored. Betting under in a game with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry might sound risky, but there are reasons to believe it could hold. The Ravens are expected to be heavy favorites, and Jackson may not need to rely on his legs as much if the game is already in hand. Meanwhile, the Browns are seen as an under team, with a struggling offense but a solid defense. Keeping the clock running could be the key here.

The Carolina Panthers at Arizona Cardinals game is expected to be higher scoring, with the over at 43.5 points. Last week, the Panthers’ offense struggled mightily, which doesn’t inspire confidence, but there’s hope that a stronger performance will show up this week. Arizona’s defense isn’t known for shutting teams down, and if the Panthers avoid a repeat of last week’s offensive meltdown, this game could easily land in the mid-40s.
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles at Kansas City Chiefs matchup is expected to go under 47 points. The last meeting between these two teams saw scoring in the 60s, but circumstances have changed. The Chiefs will likely be without Xavier Worthy, and Rashee Rice is still suspended. This means the Chiefs may have to rely on shorter, time-consuming drives, and the Eagles had a similar slow-paced game last week. The combination of these factors points to a lower-scoring affair this week.
Other new bets being watched include the Seahawks over 39.5 and the Las Vegas Raiders at +3.5. With injuries, early-season surprises, and some undervalued teams in the mix, Week 2 is shaping up to be full of interesting opportunities for bettors who are paying attention.
