Sports Betting Spotlight: NFL Week 2
Matt Youmans, Kelly Stewart and Golden Nugget sports book director Tony Miller preview the college football and NFL weekend by offering 12 plays:
Matt Youmans, Review-Journal:
Last week: 3-1
- BOSTON COLLEGE (+17) over Southern California
- Massachusetts (+16) over VANDERBILT
- Jaguars (+6) over REDSKINS
Best Bet: SOUTH CAROLINA (+6.5) over Georgia
“The Gamecocks were favored by a field goal when this line opened in the summer, and while they deserve to be downgraded, there is value in this number. I’ll take the points with the better quarterback, Dylan Thompson. South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier needs this one, and he won and covered the past two home games against Georgia.”
Kelly Stewart, @kellyinvegas:
Last week: 3-1
- CENTRAL MICHIGAN (+6.5) over Syracuse
- RUTGERS (+3) over Penn State
- East Carolina (+10) over VIRGINIA TECH
Best Bet: BILLS (+1) over Dolphins
“The perception of the Dolphins is exaggerated after they beat a Patriots team that is not that good. The Dolphins almost always play poorly in Buffalo. I like the Bills to win as home ‘dogs.”
Tony Miller, Golden Nugget:
Last week: 2-2
- TEXAS A&M (-31.5) over Rice
- Saints (-6.5) over BROWNS
- Texans (-3) over RAIDERS
Best Bet: OKLAHOMA (-20.5) over Tennessee
“I’m going to lay the wood with the Sooners every week. Oklahoma will run the table and go undefeated in the regular season, and coach Bob Stoops knows he needs impressive wins to get into the four-team playoff.”
