CHI. CUBS @ PHILADELPHIA | 09/16 | 6:05 PM EDT
PHILADELPHIA -153
ANALYSIS: I don't see a ton of value on the Cubs at -145 on the RL, so let's take a risk on the unpredictable Phillies. They are using a bullpen game, which probably isn't a good thing if you know about their relievers this year. Cam Bedrosian has been pretty solid, though, since coming over from Oakland and will open the game. Philadelphia is starting its ideal lineup against Kyle Hendricks, who can be great at times but also has had a few terrible outings in his past handful. The Phils have been better against right-handers.

OHIO @ LOUISIANA | 09/16 | 8:00 PM EDT
OHIO +20.5
ANALYSIS: Been sitting here waiting for this to get to 20.5, so now let's jump. This spread seems too high overall. The Bobcats haven't looked good yet with longtime offensive coordinator Tim Albin taking over the head coaching reins but are expected to contend in the MAC. Louisiana was dominated Week 1 at Texas (which doesn't look so great now) and barely escaped last week vs. FCS school Nicholls. The Bobcats are 8-0 ATS in their past eight Thursday games and 13-3 ATS in their past 16 vs. dogs. The Cajuns are 3-9 in their past 12 as favorites. They are likely to be without two key players in WR Errol Rogers and LB Ferrod Gardner.
N.Y. GIANTS @ WASHINGTON | 09/16 | 8:20 PM EDT
N.Y. GIANTS +3.5
ANALYSIS: The underdog carries appeal when an offensively challenged opponent is spotting it more than a field goal. Washington carved out just 259 yards and one touchdown in its season opener while QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (hip) was injured in the first half. Taylor Heinicke, whose 38.2 passer rating was dreadful in relief, steps in against New York. He has thrown just as many interceptions (three) as touchdowns in nine career appearances. Meanwhile, WR Curtis Samuel (groin) remains on injured reserve. The Giants were equally impotent on offense in Week 1, but RB Saquon Barkley (10 carries, 26 yards) figures to be more productive after a length injury layoff. Visiting teams went 11-8 straight up on Thursday Night Football last season, debunking the notion of a short-week penalty for traveling clubs.
N.Y. GIANTS @ WASHINGTON | 09/16 | 8:20 PM EDT
N.Y. GIANTS +3.5
ANALYSIS: Daniel Jones is 4-0 with a 100 passer rating against Washington. He and Kenny Golladay should have better chemistry in Week 2. I like the divisional dog catching more than a field goal here. Taylor Heinecke is a terrific backup, but the Washington offense takes a bit of a hit without Ryan FItzpatrick's aggressive passing. Grab the points.
