Week 2 is normally when everyone over reacts. People will be saying Trey Lance sucks, the Packers are doomed and various other takes that are wild overreactions to week one. This can affect the betting markets a ton, yet this week it has created some inflated spreads. After last week gave us only a few options for survivor picks, we have tons of options this week. I am looking ahead to teams I may use later in order to eliminate options. Whom I ended up taking may not be that popular, but I love the spot.
I am not sure what to make of the Ravens at this point. They won and covered, but did not look great. The offense is somehow a question again and they suffered more injuries in week one. Miami should have also won by a lot more than they did and struggled at times too. I really want to be on the Ravens here, but maybe Miami’s defense has figured out Lamar like the one they did last year during that Thursday night game. Yet, new coaching staff and I just cannot back Tua on the road. I am passing, on this game, but want to be on the Ravens. I cannot do it.
The Jets looked bad and the Ravens should have won by three touchdowns. People are scared of laying almost a touchdown with Jacoby Brissett, which I clearly understand. The part no is mentioning is how will the Jets score? People want to back Joe Flacco on the road! What is happening here? I am not usually a favorite bettor, but this week has me going an odd direction. I am on the Browns -6. This game will be ugly but the Browns will score enough and win like 28-6. Cleveland is headed for 2-0.
Detroit is favored for the first time in years. It would make sense to take the dog, but Carson Wentz on the road coming off a win, no way. I am passing on this game as you could convince me of anything. Goff throws for 400-yards, sure. Wentz poops his pants and turns it over five times, sure. Pass for me.
This is the only game I bet early this week. I am on Jax +4.5. Matt Ryan looked rough last week and does not seem that different from Carson Wentz. Not a compliment of course. The Jags are not terrible and had some things go badly like two dropped touchdowns including on 4th down in week one. Despite all that they held the lead with three minutes remaining in week one. The colts go to Florida to die every year and here is the best chance to take a home dog this week. I may lose money on the Jags every week at this rate, but I am headed right back there.
Speaking of teams who always lose in a location, the Bucs are back in New Orleans and the Saints seem to beat the every year. There is some injury concerns with the Saints at this point, but provided they have all their offensive weapons, I will find my way to the Saints +2.5. The Saints defense is good and they shut down Mike Evans every year. The Bucs have no weapons, besides Evans and have an injured offensive line. This is a fantastic spot to take a good defense against a team that is lacking in weapons at the moment. If Julio Jones beats me, then so be it.
The Giants are favored and it seems like people are ready to bet on Baker Mayfield on the road in week two. I hate this game. I am not sure either team is good. I am passing, but there is no way I take Carolina here.
The Steelers are a home dog, but teams that play a full five quarters tend to struggle the next week. (Like you know the Colts, Bengals, and Texans might.) If the defense was healthy and Kenny Pickett was the starter, I would smash this game. As of now, I am passing. The Steelers offense is so bad, yet, so is the Pats. I am going to this game and good god, bet the under.
The Rams should not be favored by double-digits over anyone, but I am not ready to take the Falcons. There is no way the Rams lose this game and start 0-2 at home. Pass on the spread.
All I have heard all week is the Niners are bad. Jimmy G will be the starter soon. They played in crazy conditions. It was still 10-0 Niners when Samuel fumbled against Chicago. Everyone is talking about this game from the perspective of the Niners. This is an awful spot for the Seahawks. This is a road divisional game after a Monday night emotional win. I love San Fran this week. The number keeps dipping slightly and I am waiting to get a better one perhaps Sunday. This being 9.5 in contests is slightly frustrating. In terms of survivor, this is my pick. I want to save others who have better games in the next few weeks. I mean just look at the spreads for next week. We need to save the Bengals. Give me the Niners in survivor and eventually probably against the spread as well, but no pick yet.
This game is dumb. The Bengals are going to beat the Cowboys, but it may be ugly. Passing on this game.
What a fantastic get-right spot for the Broncos. Houston is not great and I think Denver scores a bunch this week and looks like the team they were supposed to be. I mean, if they do not fumble at the goal line twice, they win last week no problem.
This line is too big, but the Cardinals looked dead last week. I said Kliff may be the first coach fired and that remains in play. This is winner for weirdest spread of the week. Pass.
I will be on Green Bay -10. The Bears always get crushed in Green Bay on a Sunday night. How do they always have to play this game at night? I feel bad for Chicago. They got a gift win last week. Now, it is the Packers coming off a loss after they looked horrid. I am in!
Until the games start, let’s have some fun and build the pile!
