The 2025 NFL season rolls on to a week two slate featuring an early season highlight in the re-run of February’s Super Bowl between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Revenge for Patrick Mahomes and friends looks far from assured when Philly travels to the Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday evening, while elsewhere totals value abounds.
NFL: Total looks an unders gift in clash of toothless twosome
The New England Patriots and the Miami Dolphins plundered a demoralising total of 12 points between them in their week one losses to the Indianapolis Colts and Washington Commanders.
Odds of 93/100 about under 43.5 points being scored in their Floridian face off look reasonable on that evidence, with both teams’ games ending south of the line last weekend.
Offensive travails are nothing new for the Pats, who put up 19 points or fewer in 10 of their 18 games last season. Miami are relative strangers to single figure scores but were well off the pace and put in their place by the Colts last Sunday.
Patriots vs Dolphins - Under 43.5 total points
@ 93/100
NFL: Overs in the crosshairs as week one entertainers collide
At the polar opposite end of the points spectrum from our previous selection is the all NY State clash between the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets at the Metlife Stadium.
The total points line of 45.5 feels fairly surmountable given both sides were involved in games that finished up tens of points higher in week one.
Buffalo contributed 41 points to a total of 81 when they hosted the Baltimore Ravens, while the Jets put up 32 of 66 total points against the usually defensive stringent Pittsburgh Steelers.
Bills vs Jets - Over 45.5 total points
@ 39/50
NFL: Super Bowl re-run to end same way for slow starting KC
The Philadelphia Eagles travel to the Kansas City Chiefs as -1.5 point road favourites and have to be a reasonable bet on those terms at 93/100 having won the sides’ last two meetings.
Nick Sirianni’s men covered this spread on both occasions, including when winning 21-17 on KC turf in the 2024 regular season and the more emphatic 40-22 Super Bowl LIX triumph.
Additional encouragement they can run up the hat-trick against the Chiefs comes in the form of the hosts’ profligate 21-27 defeat to the LA Chargers in the opening matchweek.
Eagles (-1.5) to cover vs Chiefs
@ 93/100
