Post sports gambling editor/producer and digital sports editor Matt Ehalt is back for his second season in the NFL Bettor’s Guide.
The Packers have been the juggernaut of the NFL through two weeks, steamrolling two 2024 playoff teams in the Lions and Commanders – both at home – to start the season.
They now get a bad Browns team in their first road game of the year. Cleveland is coming off a 41-17 road beatdown against the Ravens, and the Packers and Ravens are in the same weight class.
While the spread offers a backdoor cover, we’re not sure the Browns have the firepower to keep close against a team that is humming both offensively and defensively.
The Browns have not topped 17 points in either game, while Green Bay scored 27 in both games.
Bet on Micah Parsons and the Packers’ defense harassing Joe Flacco and turning this game into a comfortable victory.
Plenty of preseason discussion focused on how the Broncos and Chargers could possibly dethrone the Chiefs in the AFC West, and Los Angeles looks more like the team capable of doing so through two weeks.
The Chargers have beaten the Chiefs in Brazil and the Raiders on the road, while the Broncos had a rough loss last week in Indianapolis.
Los Angeles is letting Justin Herbert loose, and he’s looked great through two weeks, while its defense has been ferocious.
Meanwhile, Denver’s defensive no-show last week against Daniel Jones is a bit concerning heading into a matchup with a team it lost twice to by seven points twice last year.
We like the Chargers’ chances to win by at least a field goal and start 3-0 against division foes, especially since there are questions about the Broncos’ defense after last week.
2025 record: 2-2
2024 record: 16-27-1
