Week 2 of the NFL Preseason is set to begin as we get one step closer to the start of real NFL football. Betting on the NFL Preseason has started to become more popular over the years, and there are some great betting opportunities available this week.
NFL Preseason Week 1 featured a ton of offense, and that has impacted the betting lines for Week 2. Here are five of the best NFL Preseason Week 2 over/under picks to make.
Chicago Bears at Seattle Seahawks
Best Bet: Under 42.5 Points
The Chicago Bears (1-0) are set to travel to Seattle to take on the 0-1 Seahawks on Thursday night. Chicago was able to upset the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1, but it was on the strength of their defense.
Seattle did put up some points in the Week 1 loss, but they are not expected to be a great offensive team this season. This should be a defensive battle on Thursday night, and betting under 42.5 is the way to go.
Carolina Panthers at New England Patriots
Panthers vs. Patriots Picks
Best Bet: Under 41 Points
The Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots both played in games that finished with 44 points in Preseason Week 1. Carolina was able to pick up a win, while New England suffered a loss.
The Patriots are now at home, and head coach Bill Belichick is known for having his defense play solid and defend home turf. This NFL game should be a tight battle, but it’s going to be one with very little offense.
Take the under 41.0 points as it is the defenses that take control of this matchup.
New Orleans Saints at Green Bay Packers
Best Bet: Over 39.5 Points
The New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers are set to meet up in Preseason Week 2, and both of these teams like to score some points. This game should feature plenty of deep passes regardless of the two starting quarterbacks in this matchup.
This over/under would likely be a lot larger if this was a regular season meeting between the Saints and Packers, but there will still be a ton of offense. Take the over 39.5 points in this game.
Detroit Lions at Indianapolis Colts
Lions vs. Colts Picks
Best Bet: Over 39 Points
The Detroit Lions will travel to Indianapolis to face the Colts in Week 2 of the preseason. Detroit is a team that could take a big jump in 2022, and the Colts should be one of the better NFL teams in the AFC this season.
Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions are on a mission this season, and they should have a big day on offense in this one. Indianapolis has plenty of offensive talent as well, and they scored 24 points in Week 1.
Take the over 39 points as this could be one of the highest-scoring games of the week.
Atlanta Falcons at New York Jets
Falcons vs. Jets Picks
Best Bet: Under 39 Points
The Atlanta Falcons and New York Jets are expected to be among two of the worst teams in the NFL during the 2022 season. Both teams picked up a win in their preseason opener, but they took a more aggressive approach than some of the other teams in the league.
The best bet to take in this game is under the 39.0-point line that is set, and it’s not because either team has a great defense. Both teams are going to struggle on offense in this one, and there will be a ton of punts.
