BRONCOS (+2½) over Bears: Customers were pounding Da Bears in Super Bowl futures as if Vegas was about to run out of ticket paper. Chicago’s defense is worthy — but offensive brain trust isn’t, and Mitchell Trubisky has about a year to prove out. The Vinny Testaverde timeline won’t work.

Bills (-1¹/₂) over GIANTS: Versus the Cowboys, for Giants to deploy top draft choice Saquon Barkley for just 11 rushes (for 120 yards!) was essentially suicidal. If Big Blue doesn’t keep Buffalo’s pass rush honest with a rational, balanced game plan, good night, Irene.

TITANS (-3) over Colts: Indianapolis is another outfit ruined by unavailability of essential talent … but great news for Tennessee, which failed to beat Andrew Luck in 11 tries. Marcus Mariota is no deep bomber, but he is a mobile dual threat who is a handful when playing within menacing capabilities.

LIONS (+2½) over Chargers: Bolts’ roster decimated — with TE Hunter Henry (tibia plateau fracture) out, and Melvin Gordon (holdout) remains unavailable — and now Mike Williams (knee) is questionable. This on what otherwise is an imposing offensive roster, when healthy. Solid Chargers road performance record mostly posted in the open air.

RAVENS (-13) over Cardinals: Ravens weren’t bothered by draining South Beach humidity as they embarrassed Dolphins in opener. Now back at Inner Harbor digs, Baltimore figures to revert towards their mean, true, but was last week’s late-stages Kyler Murray the real one?

DOLPHINS (+19 ¹/₂) over Patriots: Miami looked uncoordinated losing by seven TDs to Baltimore. But … New England traditionally underperforms in South Florida, with its savage humidity. Doubt Pats will lose, but market has gone bonkers for champs and won’t chase such radical moves.

REDSKINS (+5¹/₂) over Cowboys: In this special NFC East rivalry, broad public can’t get enough of their precious ’Boys — and the hipsters are happy to take the other side. Given their modest O-line, this Washington team figures to have issues finishing off foes — but at more than +4, head start tempting.

Jaguars (+9) over TEXANS: Don’t expect rookie Gardner Minshew to match stunning stats hung up in relief of Nick Foles, but given his nifty year at Washington State (38-9 TD-INT rate as a Cougar), give Jags sneaky chance — though fortified Texans play better defense than do Chiefs, and Houston has had a practice week to decipher Minshew’s quirks.

STEELERS (-4) over Seahawks: After life-and-death struggle to hold off the Bengals in the Pacific Northwest, Hawks are being granted a market chance to hang against a Pittsburgh outfit steaming off horsewhipping at the hands of the other six-time champs … but Seattle doesn’t have history of alert seasonal beginnings.

49ers (+1½) over BENGALS: Market muscle pushed San Francisco out of opening-favorite role in second consecutive appearance in the Eastern time zone. Logistics are no fun (the Niners didn’t go back home), but prefer Niners’ rush-first approach, and without A.J. Green or possibly Joe Mixon in play, visitors run hosts off field.

PACKERS (-3) over Vikings: Aside from being sacked once and benefitting from pass-interference call, QB Kirk Cousins completed 8 of 10 passes, while the infantry ground out 172 yards on 38 carries. Impressive — but Aaron Rodgers isn’t finished yet, Packers D is focused and Lambeau rocks.

RAIDERS (+7) over Chiefs: Give Oakland credit for not needing a turnover advantage to beat the visiting Broncos. The Over (53¹/₂) may be way to go — with the Chiefs’ sublime confidence in Pat Mahomes and that monstrous offense leaving the visitors’ defense taking back seat.

RAMS (-2) over Saints: Playoffs, miserable officiating, revenge, Dem Saints — if you swallow that, you’re taking the worst of this price, with an outfit which usually isn’t alert this early. Drew Brees will never see his 30s again, and his cohorts are less coordinated outdoors.

FALCONS (+1 ½) over Eagles: We get bad vibes when we see Atlanta slated to contest the only game in a particular league timeslot — and that’s the case here Sunday night … not to mention the inherent fear and trepidation involved in fading the mature, talented Eagles. Home opener for the Falcons, though.

JETS (+6 ½) over Browns: Gang Green QB Sam Darnold’s mononucleosis sidelines him indefinitely, leaving journeyman Trevor Siemian in command. If Browns absorbed worthwhile lessons after cocky attitude and carelessness (18 penalties!) sunk them against Tennessee, OK, but we’ll pay to find out. Jets staffers are hip to the Browns’ stop-unit ways and means.

Last week: 6-9
