Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season was all about the underdog. Bettors that relied on favorites to carry them to victory were disappointed, as a record number of underdogs covered Jake Luton Jerseys the spread.

Underdogs broke a Week 1 record when the Raiders covered (and won) against the Ravens on "Monday Night Football." That marked the 12th time in the NFL's 16 games that an underdog had covered the spread.

The previous Week 1 high was 11 wins, which happened on three occasions.

Underdogs weren't just covering though. They were winning as well. Nine underdogs emerged victoriously in Week 1, including five teams that won on the road. ESPN's Adam Schefter noted on Sunday that underdogs hadn't had that kind of succe sin more than 35 years.

Despite full crowds being back around the league, eight underdogs won outright today, including five on the road, the most in the opening week of the season in over 35 years, per ESPN research producer .

It's important not to overreact to the succe s of underdogs going into Week 2. Savvy bettors will continue to analyze Seattle Seahawks Jerseys trends and avoid jumping on ma sive line shifts right away. It's best to take a full-scope look at the league and evaluate which teams simply had a bad week and which ones may not be quite as good as people thought coming into the season.

Also, it's important to note that many injuries took place in Week 1 and will impact teams moving forward. Notably, the 49ers lost top running back for at least eight weeks and their top corner Jason Verrett (torn ACL) for the season. The Saints have also lost a few players going into Week 2. That includes corner Marshon Lattimore, defensive end Marcus Davenport and center Erik McCoy.

Those injuries, along with the ones suffered by and , will have a big-time impact on betting odds and line movement ahead of Week 2.

NFL best bets for Week 2Chiefs (-3.5) at Ravens

The Chiefs and Ravens both hit speed bumps in their season openers, but only the Chiefs emerged with a win. Patrick Mahomes helped the Chiefs overcome a 12-point deficit during a second-half rally against the Browns. Meanwhile, the Ravens blew a 14-point lead against the Raiders. It marked the first time they had lost a game in which they had a 14-point lead since 2014.

Up until Monday nights overtime lo s to the Raiders, the Ravens had won 98 straight games dating back to 2004 when they had a 14+ point-lead.

Those performances aside, the Chiefs hold a significant advantage over the Ravens in recent meetings. John Harbaugh has struggled to beat Andy Reid during his career. He has just a 1-5 record against him in six meetings. That includes four consecutive lo ses to Reid's Chiefs, andin the three games featuring Blessuan Austin Jerseys Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson, the Chiefs have won by an average of 7.3 points per game.

Jackson has largely struggled in those contests. He has averagedjust 170.3 pa sing yards in three games against Kansas City, all lo ses. He has done better with his legs running for 196 yards but he has only accounted for four total TDs while committing two turnovers and being sacked nine times. Only the Browns (12) have sacked Jackson more during his career.

The Ravens are also banged up in the secondary, and couldn't hold up late against the Raiders. If Jimmy Smith can't play, that could make Patrick Mahomes' job a bit easier. Even if he does play, Marcus Peters' absence will continue to loom large and Mahomes should be able to pick apart the Ravens' defense.

The trends say that betting on the Chiefs is a good value at -3.5, so we'll be trusting them even in a tough Baltimore road environment.

Seahawks (-4.5) vs. Titans

This pick is all about trusting the Seattle crowdto rattle Ryan Tannehill's Titans.

The Seahawks have one of the best home-field advantages in the NFL L.J. Collier Jerseys . The 12th man tends to show up in full force, and that's part of why Ru sell Wilson has posted a 55-17 record at home during h
