BETTING BREAKDOWN

Rams (1-0) at Eagles (0-1)

■ Time: 10 a.m.

■ Line/total: Eagles -1 ½½ , 45

■ Analysis: Philadelphia’s 27-17 loss last week at Washington was not as bad as the score made it look. Washington’s five scores all came on drives that started inside Eagles territory. Philadelphia right tackle Lane Johnson returns after missing last week. The Rams took advantage of a below-average Cowboys defense in their Week 1 win, but the Eagles will provide a much stiffer test. Classic Week 2 overreaction to Week 1 results.

■ By the numbers: Quarterback Jared Goff’s road numbers for yards per pass attempt are 12 percent less than what he averages at home. … The Rams are 3-5 straight up on the road against teams that made the playoffs the year they played them.

Pick: Eagles 21, Rams 17

Panthers (0-1) at Buccaneers (0-1)

■ Time: 10 a.m.

■ Line/total: Bucs -8 ½½ , 47

■ Analysis: Tampa Bay held the Saints to 4.1 yards per play last week. It was turnovers, penalties and bad special teams (blocked field goal) that did in the Bucs. Tampa Bay’s defense is underrated. This week the Bucs face a Carolina defense that was awful last season and, despite wholesale changes, is still a work in progress.

■ By the numbers: Tampa Bay is on a 1-7-1 ATS slide as a home favorite. … Carolina allowed 24 points or more in each of its last five road games and 34 or more in four of those games.

Pick: Buccaneers 27, Panthers 17

Pick:

■ Time: 10 a.m., KVVU-5

■ Line/total: Cowboys -4, 53

■ Analysis: This is a matchup of teams with belowaverage defenses and above-average offenses. Dallas left tackle Tyron Smith is questionable and would be a big loss if he can’t play. The Cowboys lost linebacker Leighton Vander Esch last week and already was without linebacker Sean Lee.

■ By the numbers: Atlanta is 4-2 ATS in its last six games as a road underdog and has scored 24 points or more in each game. It also allowed 22 points or more in four of those six games. … Dallas has scored 24 points or more in nine of its 11 games as home favorites with wide receiver Amari Cooper. It also allowed at least 20 points in those games against any above-average offense. Both teams should score plenty.

■ Pick: Cowboys 28, Falcons 27

■ Time: 10 a.m.

■ Line/total: 49ers -7, 41

■ Analysis: San Francisco is banged up, losing cornerback Richard Sherman and tight end George Kittle for this game. The Niners already were extremely thin at wide receiver, so losing Kittle is a major blow. The Jets won’t have receiver Jamison Crowder and lack talent across the board.

■ By the numbers: New York QB Sam Darnold generally has been good as a home underdog, but he’s 0-2 against teams that finished the season above .500, losing by seven and 20 points.

■ Pick: 49ers 26, Jets 20
