Game Outlook
Week 2 kicks off with an absolute banger between two Super Bowl contenders in the AFC and two of the NFL’s best real life (and fantasy) quarterbacks, Justin Herbert and Patrick Mahomes. Featuring two of the most high octane offenses in football, it’s not surprising to see this game carrying the highest total of any game on Week 2’s slate. Vegas oddsmakers opened the line at 52.5, and it’s already been bet up a full two points, suggesting we could see some fireworks on Thursday night. If history means anything, we will. Over the last three meetings between these two AFC West teams, the games have totaled 62, 54 and 59 points. Giddy up.
