NFL Week 2: Tips, Predictions and Best Bets

NFL Week 2 opens with the Bills hosting the Lions on Friday morning our time, two sides that combined for 90 points the last time they met. The bulk of the card lands Monday morning AEST, and the Rams and Giants close the week out on Tuesday. Seven of the sixteen games clear the three point gap I want this early in the season, and four of those seven are overs rather than lines, with the Titans and Eagles, the Jets and Packers, the Patriots and Steelers and the Rams and Giants all set lower than my numbers can accept. The widest line belongs to the 49ers, who are giving 12.5 to the Dolphins, four and a half points more than I have them winning by. Below you will find our tips, predictions and best bets for every Week 2 game, with the recommended play for each ready to take to your preferred NFL betting site.

NFL Week 2 Predictions

Green Bay Packers vs New York Jets NFL matchup prediction graphic

Jets vs Packers Prediction

The Jets getting 3.5 at home is a number I cannot argue with, because I have the Packers by three and not a point more. The line is where it should be, and the bet on this game is the…

New England Patriots vs Pittsburgh Steelers NFL matchup prediction graphic

Patriots vs Steelers Prediction

The total is the bet on this one and the line is not. I have the Patriots by seven into 5.5, and 45 points against a market of 41.5, and it is that second number the bookies have set far…

Cincinnati Bengals vs Houston Texans NFL matchup prediction graphic

Texans vs Bengals Prediction

The total on this game has come in to 45.5 since midweek and that turns a near miss into a bet. I have the Texans by five, 27 to 22, into a line of 2.5, and 49 points against a…

Chicago Bears vs Minnesota Vikings NFL matchup prediction graphic

Bears vs Vikings Prediction

History at this ground says close and the market wants 4.5. I have the Bears by three, 26 to 23, so the Vikings and the points is the side, and it lands a point and a half short of a…

Baltimore Ravens vs New Orleans Saints NFL matchup prediction graphic

Ravens vs Saints Prediction

I have the Ravens by nine and the line is 8.5, which is about as close to agreement as the two of us get. The Saints will move the ball and still lose, and there is no bet worth writing…

Atlanta Falcons vs Carolina Panthers NFL matchup prediction graphic

Falcons vs Panthers Prediction

The bookies have the Panthers favourites away from home and I have the Falcons winning this. I make it Falcons 23, Panthers 21, which puts four and a half points between me and the market and makes the Falcons and…

Buffalo Bills vs Detroit Lions NFL matchup prediction graphic

Bills vs Lions Prediction

Two sides who cannot get a stop are meeting here and the bookies have priced it politely. I have the Bills by three, 29 to 26, which is short of the 5.5 they are giving and short of a bet.

NFL Week 2 Best Bets

7 Best Bets we’re locking in for NFL Week 2. Each one is a spot where the model finds value at the current market price. The full reasoning sits inside the individual prediction posts.

  • Falcons vs Panthers · I have the Falcons winning 23 to 21, so the Falcons at +1.5 for $1.96 is the bet and the head-to-head at $2.10 is the same call with more risk in it.
  • Patriots vs Steelers · I have the Patriots winning 26 to 19, seven points into a line of 5.5, and the overs at 41.5 for $1.90 is the bet on this game.
  • Jets vs Packers · My number is Packers 26, Jets 23 against a line of 3.5, nowhere near the gap I need, and the overs at 44.5 for $1.85 is the bet here.
  • Titans vs Eagles · I have the Eagles winning 25 to 19, six points into a line of seven and a half, and the overs at 39.5 for $1.90 is the bet on this game.
  • Broncos vs Jaguars · I have the Jaguars winning 24 to 23, so the Jaguars at +2.5 for $1.99 is the bet and the head-to-head at $2.24 is the same call without the cushion.
  • 49ers vs Dolphins · I have the 49ers winning 28 to 20, eight points into a line of 12.5, so the Dolphins at +12.5 for $1.96 is the bet on this game.
  • Rams vs Giants · I have the Rams home 29 to 23 with the line at seven and a half, and the overs at 47.5 for $1.83 is the bet on this game.
