Ben Solak, Seth Walder, and Matt Bowen from ESPN provide a Week 2 betting guide focusing on value across spreads, money lines, and props. Bowen highlights the Cincinnati Bengals at Houston Texans game, noting Houston's -2.5 spread despite a Week 1 loss. He analyzes Houston's run game featuring David Montgomery and Woody Marks against a Bengals defense anchored by Dexter Lawrence II.

Solak leverages player evaluation skills, while Walder uses statistical models to identify plus-expected value bets, particularly on defense. Results are tracked with flat one-unit wagers. Odds are provided by Draft Kings and subject to change.

The guide covers game-specific strategies, defensive player props, and top games to bet, aiming to find edges through X's and O's analysis, statistical models, and tape study throughout the NFL season.
