Biggest Upset: Saints Stun Ravens as Big Underdogs
Baltimore opened as roughly 8.5-point favourites, one of the week's more lopsided lines, and New Orleans tore that number up with a 24-17 road win. It's the kind of result that reshuffles Week 3 pricing fast, and a reminder that a short week and an early kickoff can level a talent gap on paper. You can compare how the market reacts on sportsbet.io's in-play hub once Week 3 lines open.
Another Shock: Bengals Topple Texans as Underdogs
Houston had opened as three-point favourites over Cincinnati, but the Bengals controlled the game from the opening quarter, scoring off a defensive touchdown and holding the Texans to just six points in a 20-6 win. For anyone who took Cincinnati at plus-money, it's the kind of result that makes an early-season underdog bet look like genuine insight rather than a hunch.
Raiders Pull Off the Week's Best Underdog Cover
Las Vegas were priced as more than a touchdown underdog against the Chargers, and instead won outright, 26-14. Combined with the Saints and Bengals results, it made for one of the roughest weeks of the young season for anyone leaning heavily on the market's biggest favourites. Sportsbet.io's sports betting hub breaks down how moneyline and spread markets are typically priced if you want to see why upsets like this pay so well.
Favourites That Delivered: 49ers, Cowboys, and Seahawks
Not every favourite had a bad week. San Francisco's 35-13 win over Miami covered a double-digit spread with room to spare, Dallas ran away from Washington 37-20 to cover comfortably, and Seattle's 31-7 win over Arizona, with backup quarterback Drew Lock under centre after Sam Darnold's injury, was as convincing a favourite performance as the week produced.
Close Calls: Chiefs Need Overtime, Packers Survive, Eagles Hang On
Kansas City needed a last-second field goal in overtime to see off Indianapolis 33-30 on Sunday Night Football, a result that means the Colts actually covered as underdogs despite losing. Green Bay's 20-17 overtime win over the Jets and Philadelphia's 24-20 escape against Tennessee told a similar story — three home favourites that won the game but left plenty of underdog bettors with a winning ticket anyway, since none of the three covered the full spread they opened at.
What's Next: Monday Night Closes the Week
The Giants and Rams wrap up Week 2 on Monday Night Football, with Los Angeles looking to bounce back after a flat Week 1 showing and New York's rookie-led offense searching for a second straight strong outing. Check sportsbet.io's upcoming fixtures page for the final score once the game wraps up and for the full Week 3 schedule as it's released.
Betting Responsibly Through the NFL Season
A week with two big underdog upsets can tempt bigger stakes chasing similar value the following week. Treat every result above as one data point among many, not a signal to change your whole approach, and set your budget for each week's card before Thursday's kickoff rather than adjusting it as Sunday's results come in.
Account tools such as deposit limits, loss limits, and time-outs help keep a full week of NFL action within the budget you set for it — sportsbet.io's responsible gambling page lists how to set these up. Betting should stay entertainment across a 17-game season, not a way to chase back a loss from an earlier week.
