Week 2 NFL Best Bets

We are back for Week 2. We did 50/50 last week as I went 1/3 on spread lines, but went 2/3 in the prop bets. Good to get the Week 1 jitters out of the way. Now that we’ve seen teams for a week, we can diagnose some tendencies and what teams like to do. Here’s to a better Week 2!

Favorite of the Week

Dolphins (-3) over Patriots

Miami’s offense was on a different speed than everyone else’s last weekend. While New England had a solid plan for the Eagles, I truly don’t know how you cover Tyreek Hill and his speed. The fins can also hit you with Waddle and Smythe if need be.

Upset of the Week

Cardinals (+6) over Giants

Was there something to do the Giants getting shutout 40-0? I’m not entirely sure, but what I do know is that both Andrew Thomas and Darren Waller are dealing with injuries while Arizona was surprisingly competitive last week in Washington.

Best Bet of the Week

Buccaneers (+2.5) over Bears

Consider me a non-believer in Chicago until they can prove it. Meanwhile, The Bucs defense reminded everyone they are still here. We also got vintage Baker in Minnesota. A. 2-0 start for Tampa Bay would be something that no one expected.

PROP BETS

Jamaal Williams (NO) anytime touchdown scorer (+125)

Tee Higgins (CIN) anytime touchdown scorer (+150)

Travis Etienne 115+ Rushing Yards

Carolina struggled with the Falcons run game last week, and New Orleans got the run game going in the second half. Expect them to stick with that on Monday. Higgins had 0 catches in Week 1, which means he might explode in Week 2. And while the Chiefs are getting Chris Jones back, I think he is on a snap count, and Etienne seemed to find his rhythm in the 4th quarter last week.
