Bet Labs gives a great indication of how respected bettors are picking NFL preseason Week 2 games.
Overs were the hot ticket to kick off the NFL preseason, and they’re popular again in Week 2! In fact, our expert betting database has tracked market-moving bets on both spread and over/under picks for the Week 2 slate.
Below, we’ll dive into three NFL picks this weekend attracting significant wiseguy action, all on Saturday:
- Panthers vs. Texans (1 p.m. ET)
- 49ers vs. Raiders (1 p.m. ET)
- Jets vs. Giants (7 p.m. ET)
Let’s take a closer at NFL odds in preseason Week 2 drawing smart money.
NFL Odds: Smart Spread, Over/Under Picks for Preseason Week 2
If you haven’t noticed, Week 2 preseason over/unders are lined noticeably higher than Week 1 – largely due to the amount of high-scoring games across the league.
The market hasn’t flinched at some of these higher totals; sharps are betting plenty of games to go over the total again in Week 2.
Panthers vs. Texans NFL Pick for Preseason Week 2
Odds: Texans -3, O/U 38.5
Using Bet Labs, we’ve tracked sharp money betting the Panthers vs. Texans over the full-game total.
Bet Labs shows several big bets on the Panthers vs. Texans over at 37.5. Any type of bet on the under has been met with resistance at that number, as sharp bettors clearly have interest in a high-scoring game between Carolina and Houston.
PRO Pick: Panthers vs. Texans Over
49ers vs. Raiders NFL Pick for Preseason Week 2
Odds: Raiders -5.5, O/U 40.5
Here’s a smart side getting whacked with pro action: the 49ers to cover against the Raiders.
The Niners were blown out at home to Denver last week. Sharps were all over the Broncos, and that wound up the right side.
However, while San Francisco +6.5 last week was a bad line in hindsight, the same spread in Week 2 is the hot ticket early, as a respected book took a savvy bet on the 49ers +6.5.
Bet Labs and PRO Report are both lighting up with sharp-action insights on the visitors.
PRO Pick: 49ers to Cover
Jets vs. Giants NFL Pick for Preseason Week 2
Odds: Giants -3.5, O/U 39.5
Both the Jets and Giants flew over their respective Week 1 preseason totals.
It’s another flurry of wiseguy money on the over in Week 2 between the New York teams. Bet Labs confirms two separate steam moves on the Jets vs. Giants over the total – once super-early in the betting cycle on Monday morning, and again Tuesday morning.
The Giants offense thrived in their opening-week exhibition win behind first-round QB, Jaxson Dart, while Justin Fields scored in the Jets’ win over the Packers.
