You're probably not going to see a week with as much line movement in such a short period of time as we've seen in Week 2 of the NFL season. Some of the more notable line moves of the week can be found below.

Texans vs. Panthers, 1:00 p.m. ET Sunday

Opening NFL Odds: Over/Under 41
Current NFL Odds: Over/Under 39

Bill O'Brien has more or less admitted that he was wrong. He picked Brian Hoyer right out of blocks of the season as his starting quarterback, but after three and a half quarters, that was the end of that. Ryan Mallett is now the man, but bettors aren't sold that he is the option just by looking at the total in this game. The number has come crashing down by NFL standards below 40, the first game of the year to be lined under 40 this season. Of course, it didn't help total bettors that the Panthers slunk their way to just 263 total yards of offense last week against what is perceived to be an awful Jacksonville team. It's understandable why this total has done nothing but drop.

Titans vs. Browns, 1:00 p.m. ET Sunday

Opening NFL Odds: Cleveland -4
Current NFL Odds: Tennessee -1.5

What a move we have here! Marcus Mariota had the greatest debut for a starting quarterback in NFL history, posting a perfect quarterback rating as a part of his four-touchdown performance against the Buccaneers. Parlay all of this with the fact that Josh McCown suffered a concussion last week and is still very much so up in the air for this week, and bettors have all of a sudden gotten all over the Titans in this one. If Johnny Manziel doesn't end up starting this game, we suspect we're going to see the Browns revert back to favorites in this game, but they won't end up rebounding to anywhere near the -4 they opened up at last Sunday.

Dolphins vs. Jaguars, 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday

Opening NFL Odds: Miami -4
Current NFL Odds: Miami -5.5

This is a far more modest line move than what we saw above, but the fact of the matter is that the Dolphins could end up all the way up to -7 by the time this one kicks off, which would make this a massive move. The Jaguars were terrible last week against Carolina in an atrocious offensive game, and many suspect that a Miami team which pulled it together in the second half last week against Washington, will be a lot better this time around as a result. That said, do keep in mind that a whopping 88 percent of the betting action is on the Fins, and the oddsmakers are rarely that wrong.

Jets vs. Colts, 8:30 p.m. ET Monday

Opening NFL Odds: Indianapolis -6
Current NFL Odds: Indianapolis -7

The Jets are going to be the sharp side in this one for sure after watching the Colts, one of the most publically bet teams to win the Super Bowl this year, lost in Week 1 to the Bills. Thus it shouldn't be all that surprising that all of the early line movement in this one has been on Indy in its home opener. That said, the Jets and the Bills aren't too different in their approaches, and if Andrew Luck and that offense struggled mightily in Orchard Park, there's reason to believe the Jets can make him struggle just as much as well even on Monday Night Football. A lot could go wrong here for the Colts, especially if they are laying more than a touchdown by the time this one kicks off.
