This is your comprehensive betting guide to week 2 in the NFL as we look over some of the potential lines and totals that you could take advantage of this weekend..
We went 2/3 in our betting picks in week 1, as the NFL returned to action in unpredictable fashion. Week 2 gives lines that are a lot easier to jump on with some tight matchups and some low points totals.
Low spreads generally mean there is opportunity for punters to take advantage of. All matchups for week 2 are below with odds, spreads, lines and titles from 888Sport, as well as our favourite picks of the week.

NFL Betting Line Picks
Kansas City Chiefs -2.5 at Jacksonville Jaguars
The Chiefs are coming off an opening day loss to the Detroit Lions but are favoured on the road against a sound Jaguars team. With Travis Kelce expected to be back, the line is very enticing at -2.5, which basically means the Chiefs need to win by at least a field goal. They stuck around with the Lions despite missing their key target and if Kadarius Toney had caught any of his dropped passes then the Chiefs could have come away with the win.
Green Bay Packers at Atlanta Falcons - Under 40.5 Total Points

We know what the game plan for the Falcons and head coach Arthur Smith is. Run the damn ball! With two rushing touchdowns and a passing touchdown for rookie running back Bijan Robinson, the Falcons set out what to expect of them in 2023. The Packers ranked 31st in the NFL in run defense in 2022, so the Falcons will fancy their chances even as a moneyline bet. But, the Packers like to run the ball too and this could well be a rushing battle that sees a low points total.
Miami Dolphins -2.5 at New England Patriots
New Enlgand hung around with the Eagles, limiting their offence much more than anyone expected. Meanwhile the Dolphins offence was humming in their win against the Chargers which saw a magnificent display form Tua and Tyreek Hill. The Dolphins offense should have enough to deal with the Patriots who are a much better defense than the Dolphins face in week 1, but, you have to fancy their chances at only -2.5 favourites.
