Drama was again the theme of NFL Sunday in Week 2, as several games went down to the wire with shocking endings. There were fourth-quarter collapses all over the place and only a couple of games that were uncompetitive. It’s great from a viewing standpoint, but it is extremely stressful when you have money on the line.
Bettors will swear off teams that burned them the previous week or look for reasons to bet on teams they trust, even if the lines are a tad inflated. We’re still in the prime period for overreactions, so be cognizant of that as you look ahead to Week 3.
Here are some early Week 3 lines to consider:
Baltimore Ravens (-3, 44) at New England Patriots
Where does this line open if the Ravens give up 14 points in the fourth quarter — or maybe even 21 points — instead of 28? It certainly opens north of a field goal, but the epic collapse against Tua Tagovailoa coupled with a workmanlike win for the Patriots have set this number at 3.
