LAS VEGAS – Week 2 of the NFL season is coming to an end and those who took the risk on certain underdog teams for the week left were with a nice profit.

Some of the biggest underdogs that cashed their odds on regulated sports betting sites were the Las Vegas Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, and the Baltimore Ravens.

Las Vegas Raiders Vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

The Las Vegas Raiders continue to open the eyes of sports fans when in Week 2 they pulled off a big upset over the Pittsburgh Steelers and are now owners of a 2-0 record. Going into the game, the Raiders were 5.5-point underdogs sitting with (+220) NFL odds.

Las Vegas led the game for the most part as they got out to an early lead and kept their foot on the gas the whole way through. Vegas has Derek Carr to thank for this one as he went for 382 passing yards and two touchdowns. With this win, the Raiders have now won six of their last eight meetings against the Steelers.

Those that took the risk on the Raiders to come out on top would have profited $220 on a $100 bet.

Dallas Cowboys Vs. Los Angeles Chargers

This one was the surprise underdog of the week being that the Cowboys’ offense looked lethal in Week 1, while the Chargers’ offense has struggled to find any momentum thus far. The Chargers were sitting as 3-point favorites on the spread while the Cowboys had (+140) odds to win outright going into the game.

Although Dak Prescott struggled with his one interception and zero touchdown passes, the Cowboys’ defense held their own as they had two interceptions, two sacks, and six tackles for a loss. The run game for Dallas looked impressive, having Ezekiel Elliot run for 71 yards and a touchdown and Tony Pollard racking up 109 yards and a touchdown. The Chargers’ run game combined for just 83 yards and zero touchdowns.

All in all, Week 2 Dallas sports bettors would have seen a $140 profit when betting in $100 units.

Baltimore Ravens Vs. Kansas City Chiefs

The Baltimore Ravens stunned the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football in Week 2, cashing their (+170) moneyline odds. The Chiefs also went into the game favored by 3.5 points on the spread.

Lamar Jackson led the way for the Ravens offense both in the passing game and on the ground with 239 pass yards and two passing touchdowns, along with 107 rushing yards and 2 rushing touchdowns. The Ravens defense was made some big plays with two fumble recoveries, three tackles for loss, and an interception late in the game that helped them to secure their monumental win.

This marks Lamar Jackson’s first career win over the Kansas City Chiefs as he looks to start a new winning streak when playing the team. Jackson’s playing helped to cash gamblers a $170 profit on the Ravens moneyline.
