3 Vegas Betting Trends to Help Set Your Week 2 Daily Fantasy Football Lineup

Miami Dolphins (+3.5) at Los Angeles Chargers (O/U 45.5)

Betting Trends: The Miami Dolphins play their first game of the season in the Los Angeles Chargers first game in L.A. in decades in this Week 2 matchup. Spread bets have been split in terms of sides, the line has dropped from the open of Chargers -5 to -4 at most books. This is a prime example of reverse line movement, as the line has moved in the opposite direction of the betting percentages. We would expect that, since most of the bets are on Los Angeles, the line would hold steady or move in their favor to -5.5. Instead, Vegas has dropped the line to -3.5, demonstrating that they are confident that this game will be closer than the public expects. While we have no way of knowing, rest may be a factor here, as the Chargers coming off a loss on Monday and have just six days to prepare for the game. Whereas due to Hurricane Irma postponing Miami's Week 1 game, this is the Dolphins' 2017 opener.

Takeaways: Jay Ajayi’s matchup improves with positive game script. The Los Angeles Chargers D/ST will be a popular streaming play facing Jay Cutler, but you may want to look elsewhere with the line moving in Miami's favor.
