Minnesota is a 1-point road underdog on the NFL Week 2 odds at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Aaron Rodgers has said that he plans to play on Sunday, but coach Mike McCarthy says that no decision has been made yet. Rodgers is coming off an amazing comeback victory in which he erased a 17-0 Chicago lead to lead his Packers to a 24-23 win on Sunday night. When his status is made official, this line is sure to change accordingly.
The Jacksonville Jaguars entered the AFC Championship Game against the New England Patriots with a 9-3 SU and 7-5 ATS record over their previous 12 games before eventually falling to the Patriots, 24-20. The Jaguars will get their shot at revenge this Sunday as 2-point home underdogs hosting New England. The Patriots are 14-1 SU and 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games on the road.
Fresh off a disappointing 21-21 tie on the road against the Cleveland Browns last week, the Pittsburgh Steelers will try to bounce back as 5-point home favorites this Sunday hosting the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs enter this game with an 11-4 SU and ATS record in their last 15 games on the road but are just 1-6 SU in their last seven games against the Steelers per the OddsShark NFL Database.
