Plenty of NFL clubs are riding streaks right now — some streaks are positive, others not so much. Which of these runs will carry over into Week 2? The odds below come from DraftKings Sportsbook as of Sept. 16.
2026 NFL team betting streaks
– Seahawks (-205) at Cardinals — Seattle has won 15 consecutive games when listed as the favorite.
– Steelers at Patriots (-218) — New England has prevailed 13 straight times as the favorite.
– Panthers (+2.5, -108) at Falcons (+114) — Carolina has lost 12 straight games as the favorite and also failed to cover in each of those 12 starts.
– Commanders (+4.5) at Cowboys (-225) — Dallas has a 12-game streak of wins as the home favorite in the NFC East but has missed the spread in its last six contests.
– Giants (+7) at Rams (-355) — New York has dropped 12 straight games when the road underdog; Los Angeles has failed to cover four games in a row.
– Browns (+310) at Buccaneers — Tampa Bay has lost eight consecutive games to AFC North opponents.
– Colts at Chiefs (-285) — Indianapolis has suffered eight straight losses outright.
– Saints (+8.5) at Ravens (-395) — New Orleans has covered the spread in seven straight games; Baltimore has beaten NFC South foes seven games in a row.
– Raiders at Chargers (-290) — Las Vegas has lost seven straight at SoFi Stadium.
– Eagles (-325) at Titans — Philadelphia has won seven straight matchups versus the AFC South.
– Dolphins at 49ers (-950) — San Francisco has won seven consecutive games as the favorite.
– Packers at Jets (+170) — Green Bay has lost six straight games outright.
– Bengals at Texans (-148) — Houston has won six straight games when favored.
Notes on a few trends:
– Super Bowl teams: Both last season’s Super Bowl clubs — Seattle and New England — were dominant as favorites last year (Seattle 16-1, New England 13-1). Seattle’s most recent loss as a favorite was Week 5 last season at Tampa Bay; New England’s last favorite loss was Week 1 versus Las Vegas.
– Struggling to cover: Dallas has had trouble covering the spread — it hasn’t covered in six straight games and is a 4.5-point favorite over Washington this weekend, trying to snap that skid (their last cover was a 31-28 win over Kansas City in Week 13 of last season). The Rams are also on a four-game non-cover streak; their most recent cover came in a 37-20 Week 18 win over Arizona.
– Losing stretches: Some teams are simply dropping games. The Colts have lost eight straight, and the Packers have dropped six in a row. Indianapolis’s next four are at Kansas City, home vs. Houston and Washington, then at Pittsburgh — it’s unclear how many of those they’ll enter favored. Green Bay is a 4.5-point favorite at the Jets this week.
Fan take: These streaks matter because they shape public perception, betting markets, and team confidence heading into each week — long runs can reinforce narratives that affect odds and strategy. If several of these trends snap (or continue), it could shift playoff expectations and how coaches manage games late in the season.
