    Analysis

    The Eagles held on to a win against the Commanders, but the offense did not impress in what was expected to be one of their easier matchups. This feels like a bit of a get-right spot, but I expect they'll focus more on running the ball in the second half of what should be an easier win and chew up clock. The Titans offense was dreadful against the Jets, managing just 4 yards per play, and I can't see them scoring many points here. I want to get this number at DraftKings while it's on this side of 40 so I'm jumping on now.

    Analysis

    The Patriots have had plenty of time to stew over their loss in the opener, and I expect the defense will come to play against this suspect Steelers offense. Pittsburgh played an even game against a Falcons team riddled with injuries and won thanks to one great play by T.J. Watt. Their defense should have success against this still-questionable Patriots offensive line, and without A.J. Brown, the passing attack looked poor in general last week. I don't think this one gets close to 40.

    Picked: Sep 14 @ 12:11pm

    Analysis

    The Buccaneers fumbled their way to a loss last week, and with better ball security, they might have beaten Cincy. This should be a much easier game to get into the win column. The Browns were abysmal on both sides of the ball in Week 1 save for a meaningless deep TD to Denzel Boston. The Bucs' defensive front should give the Cleveland O-line fits, and the Bucs' offensive front can handle this version of the Browns defense. The Jags were outside the number by the end of the first quarter last week, and while it might take the Bucs until halftime to get there, I still see this as a double-digit win.

    Analysis

    Neither offense was any good in Week 1 and the Eagles faced what was supposed to be a terrible Commanders defense. It was not a good start for the Philly offense, despite the win. I don't think Tennessee actually has an offense as they were as inept as possible at home vs. Jets. Philly at least got 300+ yards. Tennessee had 195 total yards at home in the opener. 195.

    Picked: Sep 14 @ 1:12pm

    Analysis

    Locking in the Jets +4.5 here, as my simulations make them just a 1.5-point home underdog against a Packers team that I’m not high on at all right now. The Jets will be able to move the football in both the running and passing games, and the home crowd will be ready for the home opener. I expect this line to close around +3.5, so I want to be on the other side of +4 while we still can.
