You may have seen the spread values of starting quarterbacks before.
BetOnline.ag oddsmakers have decided to take a different approach this year. Below is a list that identifies the value gap between the starter and the backup for each team.
An example is this weekend, where the look-ahead line (posted before Week 1) for the Colts-Packers game in Week 2 was Green Bay -4. Now with Love out and Malik Willis starting, Green Bay is a 2.5-point underdog.
So, Jordan Love isn’t necessarily worth 6.5 points, but the difference between starting Love and Willis is 6.5 points.
In some instances, such as the Panthers, Giants and Titans, starting the backup would be advantageous to those teams' pointspread.
For example, the Giants are currently 2-point underdogs to Washington in Week 2. If Drew Lock were starting instead of Daniel Jones, New York would be just a 1-point underdog.
The teams are listed below in order of which team is hurt the most in the eyes of the oddsmakers by not having the starter in the game.
