Back at it for Week Two of the NFL. After a pretty successful first week, we look to keep the train rolling. Here are my plays for the Sunday Slate of NFL Week Two.
Check out the latest episodes of the JCPod and Captain By A Hook for my full breakdowns. All odds are a mix/the best number from FanDuel, DraftKings, and BetMGM.
Straights
49ers -5.5 (-110)
While Minnesota did win the game last year, I see this game going a bit different. The 49ers showed us in week one that they are still the dominant team that they were last year. Coming into the game this week, I look for them to continue that dominance.
Sam Darnold and Justin Jefferson may give them issues, but I still look for the 49ers to be able to put up close to 30 points and cover the spread.
Chargers -5.5 (110)
When it comes to this game, I am just gonna straight up fade the Panthers. They showed me in the first game of this year that they still have a lot of things to fix. Meanwhile on the other side, the Chargers showed me last week that they already have improved under Jim Harbaugh.
The defense looked a lot better under Harbaugh than it ever did under Staley, and the run game looked very, very efficient. I look for the Chargers to emulate that again this week, as they should be able to roll over the Panthers in this game.im
Colts -2.5 (-120)
With Malik Willis starting in this game, I’m gonna be all over the Colts. While Green Bay Packers defense may give the Colts some struggles, I just don’t see how the offense can do anything. If the Colts are able to shut down the run game, then I don’t expect Willis to do much. Malik Willis has zero touchdowns to three interceptions in his career, and he just joined the Packers recently.
If the Colts are able to fix some issues on defense, then I look for them be able to win here. I’ll be taking alternate spread of -6.5 and -9.5 for the Colts as well.
With Malik Willis starting, I do not expect the Packers offense to be able to put up a lot of points. On the other side, the Colts offense showed me some real flashes last week, and I look for them to build on that this week.
Jets -3.5 (-110)
After what I saw from the Will Levis last week, I do not have much faith in this titans passing game. I’ve lost a lot of faith in Will Levis as well, especially after that Carson Wentz like interception he had last week. Coming in this game, I look for this to be a get right game for the Jets. They will hopefully be able to fix some issues on offense, and the defense should be able to lock up this Titans offense.
The big thing for the Jets is controlling the run game, as the Titans did show some promise with Tony Pollard in the run game last week.
Steelers -2.5 (-115)
After what the Steelers defense did last week, I have to take them in this spot. Although the offense may have not scored a touchdown, they still were able to put up 18 points while TJ Watt absolutely wrecked the game on the other side.
Playing against the rookie quarterback, I look for the Steelers defense to be able to cause a few problems for Bo Nix as he still learns the NFL.
Texans -6.5 (-110)
When it comes to Sunday Night Football in Week Two, I look for the Texans to be able to win by 10+ against the Bears. The Texans really impressed me against the Colts last week, as their offense was able to convert in huge spots. Other than giving up a few explosive plays, the Texans defense also showed some really good things in the first week.
For the Bears, they really struggled on offense in Caleb Williams first game. He only had 93 pass yards and they truly won the game on the defense/special team sides of the ball. Unless Caleb improves a lot in a week, I do not know how the Bears keep it closed offensively. The defense may be really good for the bears, but CJ Stroud has shown he can make amazing plays to counter good defensive plays.
