Here are the betting results for the 2022 Week 2 NFL complete with a look at overlays, underlays, dogs and favorites covering.  The dominating factor here was that four dogs covered where there were underlays compared to two favorites.  Another favorite was added to that mix with Green Bay's cover against Chicago later in the evening.  Two of the dogs that covered were in games where the favorites received better than 60% of the public backing.  Also, two double digit dogs covered while a double digit favorite (Green Bay) covered.
