PLACE YOUR BETS!!! With week one now in the
books, we did well in terms of stacking that back account while hitting 56%
winners. Typically week one is the most difficult as we truly don’t know what
each team will bring with them on the field. In saying that, at first glance
the week two slate looks to be just as difficult if not harder to predict.
Follow us and we’ll get you that big pay day for the second week of the
season.

NFL WEEK 2 – Predictions (Projected odds makers @ Sept.12.2019
– 12:00PM EST)
Thursday
Sept.12
Tampa Bay @ Carolina (Favorite)
Caesars -7
Westgate -6.5
William Hill -6.5
Unibet-6.5
SportSelect -6.5
First indication suggests that Vegas is baiting the general public
to take the points after a lackluster performance from the Buccaneers at home
to the 49ers. Taking travel to Carolina on a short week, we tend to agree with
this spread, but have second thoughts, due to the weak play of Cam Newton.
While Tampa Bay is trying to figure out what they are under Bruce
Arians, the Panthers attempted to comeback in their first match with the Rams
behind super star Christian McCaffrey. With that said, we have come to the
point that we can no longer endorse the turnover machine which is Jameis
Winston, more so on the road on a short week. The Panthers bounce back in a big
way to kick-off week two.
CAR covers
the spread @ -6.5 TB 20 CAR 14 (L)
Sunday
Sept.15
Arizona @ Baltimore (Favorite)
Caesars -13.5
Westgate -13.5
William Hill -13.5
Unibet -13
SportSelect -13.5
If we have ever witnessed an overreaction line in NFL betting,
this one could take the cake. Las Vegas has set this spread perfectly to
confuse gamblers due to the thrashing Lamar Jackson and company gave the Miami
Dolphins a week prior. First of all, we aren’t saying that the Ravens didn’t
look impressive, but given the opponent, week two verse the Cardinals will be a
tougher task.
Clearly the Cardinals came out the gates a little sluggish in
comparison to how the Ravens preformed, but that had to be expected with a
rookie passer playing his first contest. While we don’t like the Cards taking
travel cross country to play this match, we find it hard to believe the Ravens
will cover a two touchdown spread.
BAL doesn’t cover
the spread @ -13.5 ARZ 17 BAL 23 (W)
Dallas (Favorite) @ Washington
Caesars -5.5
Westgate -5
William Hill N/A
Unibet -4
SportSelect -5.5
Even as the Redskins showed extremely well coming out of the gates
in week one verse the Eagles, they took their foot off the pedal and allowed
Philadelphia to make the comeback. With news that Derrius Guice will be out for
some time, Adrian Peterson once again gets his shot to prove he still has legs
to carry this club. The Skins offense looked good last week, but facing another
division rival, it could get ugly.
The Cowboys showed us something special in week one as they fired
on all cylinders to prove they were a team to be reckoned with. We have
preached the elite level of this defense all offseason, but now with Dak
Prescott looking more comfortable dissecting defenses, we are ready to hop on
board. Skins keep it close but won’t have near enough to pull it out.
DAL covers
the spread @ -4 DAL 31 WAS 21 (W)
Indianapolis @ Tennessee
(Favorite)
Caesars -3
Westgate -3
William Hill -3
Unibet -3
SportSelect -3.5
Shocking was the term to use when the Tennessee Titans walked into
Cleveland and pounded the Browns on kickoff weekend. While we can’t argue the strength
of this defense and how it will carry this club to potential green pastures,
the offense looked impressive and decisive. We still have our qualms on Marcus
Mariota being the answer to their prayers, but it’s hard to question after the first
week.
The Indianapolis Colts attempted to do their best with Jacoby
Brissett behind center verse the Chargers, but couldn’t find a way to pull it
out in overtime which sent them home packing with a loss. Brissett isn’t a
terrible quarterback and should find ways to be successful this season. Marlon
Mack looked like a beast nearly rushing for 200 yards on the day. If the Colts
can establish the run game once again, we could see the upset take place over
the spread.
TEN doesn’t cover
the spread @ -3 IND 19 TEN 17 (W)
Seattle @ Pittsburgh (Favorite)
Caesars -4.5
Westgate -4
William Hill -3.5
Unibet -4
SportSelect -4.5
Though we fully expected much more from both clubs in week one, the
Steelers looked worse while unable to muster anything on offense, leaving the
defense to pick up the pieces. Clearly the Steelers have a lot to iron out in
attempts to again charge for AFC dominance.
The Seahawks played admirably at home against the Bengals, but
perhaps they took last week’s opponent for granted. Russell Wilson didn’t appear
to be himself leaving much to be desired for offensive output. While we never subscribe
to cross country travel as a positive, the Steelers looked far too dysfunctional
to promote them covering the spread even if they win.
PIT doesn’t cover
the spread @ -4.5 SEA 28 PIT 26 (W)
Buffalo (Favorite) @ NY Giants
Caesars -2
Westgate -2
William Hill -2.5
Unibet -1.5
SportSelect -1.5
The Buffalo Bills started slow but changed the course of last week’s
game with positive run plays from rookie Devin Singletary. When Coach Sean
McDermott realized to make the appropriate adjustments to play the young
runner, everything opened up for Josh Allen to swing the comeback.
The New York Giants will have great struggles this season if they can’t
help the offense with sound defensive play. Eli Manning and Saquon Barkley
looked good in week one verse the Cowboys and should challenge this Bills squad
in keeping it close. However, Buffalo is quite strong in defending the run and
should make it a long day for the Big-Blue to get on track. It will be close,
but Western New York should have something to cheer about again.
BUF covers
the spread @ -2 BUF 28 NYG 14 (W)
San Francisco @ Cincinnati
(Favorite)
Caesars -2
Westgate -2
William Hill -2
Unibet -2
SportSelect -1.5
Kyle Shanahan and this 49ers club appeared to be on the same page
in most aspects of the game last week. There was nothing to get overly excited
about outside of sticking to the game plan and executing it to perfection. With
injuries once again front a center on this club, the 49ers will be without
Tevin Coleman for quite some time leaving Matt Breida and Raheem Mostert the
backs to carry the load.
Cincinnati showed us something very impressive in week one, taking
travel to Seattle and nearly coming out with the win. New Coach Zac Taylor’s
play calling was almost perfect and should again be a problem for the opposition.
Still without star receiver AJ Green, Andy Dalton will lean on John Ross and
Tyler Boyd to make plays. Joe Mixon is in danger of missing this contest as
well, making for a difficult prediction for this one. Let’s call it a one point
game.
SF doesn’t cover
the spread @ -2 SF 41 CIN 17 (L)
LA Chargers (Favorite) @ Detroit
Caesars -2.5
Westgate -2.5
William Hill -3
Unibet -2.5
SportSelect -2.5
Injuries, injuries, injuries, is the only way to once again
describe the LA Chargers. Being without star talent already, Los Angeles lost
Mike Williams and Hunter Henry for the foreseeable future which will make this
a difficult matchup. Taking travel to Detroit is perhaps the worst thing for
this banged up club.
The Detroit Lions looked like a much better team from a season ago
utilizing all weapons on this offense. Matthew Stafford looked poised in spreading
the ball around to his plethora of pass catchers. While the defense still
appears to have its issues, the offense appears to have things figured out and
will give the Chargers a run for their money. If this game was held in
California, we would be inclined to take the Chargers with the points.
Nevertheless, we really like what we see in Detroit.
LAC doesn’t cover
the spread @ -3 LAC 10 DET 13 (W)
Minnesota @ Green Bay (Favorite)
Caesars -3
Westgate -3
William Hill N/A
Unibet -3
SportSelect -2.5
The Minnesota Vikings held their own in week one playing a contest
of ball control and clock manager behind the skill of Dalvin Cook. Kirk Cousins
wasn’t asked to do a great deal in the pass game throwing just 10 balls the
entire game. This week taking travel to Green Bay facing a much stouter
defensive unit, we see every scenario to suggest Cousins will have to pass a
lot more.
While the Packers looked decent at times on Thursday Night against
the incredible defense of the Chicago Bears, Aaron Rodgers was able to muster
just enough to get points on the board and come away with the win. Playing the
first home game of the season verse yet another division rival, for sure this crowd
will provide that edge. Both teams have sound offenses and great defenses to
contend with, making this a true dart throw matchup. Forcing our hand, we’ll
side with the Vikings to pull it out.
GB doesn’t cover
the spread @ -3 MIN 16 GB 21 (L)
Jacksonville @ Houston (Favorite)
Caesars -9
Westgate -9
William Hill N/A
Unibet -9
SportSelect -8.5
Before the season began, we had high hopes that the Jacksonville
Jaguars would regain that mojo on defense to lift the new look offense with
Nick Foles under center. Needless to say, that didn’t transpire and the Jags
found more misfortune in losing Foles to a broken collarbone for the next nine
weeks. Taking travel to Houston this week, we could witness a destruction once
again.
Speaking of the Houston Texans, we were very impressed with
Deshaun Watson in how he progressed in staying in the pocket picking apart the
Saints defense on Monday Night. This week should see much of the same as we feel
Watson is a true super star in the making. With Carlos Hyde and Duke Johnson
easing the pressure with a sound run attack, the Texans look to be front
runners in the AFC. Don’t like large spreads, but we’ll bite with a backup quarterback
in Jacksonville.
HOU covers
the spread @ -9 JAX 12 HOU 13 (L)
New England (Favorite) @ Miami
Caesars -19
Westgate -19
William Hill N/A
Unibet 18.5
SportSelect -19.5
The New England Patriots again showed their power on Sunday Night
to again place the notion that they are still the best team in the NFL.
Displacing the Steelers with ease, they get the lonely Dolphins in week two
after a horrible loss to the Ravens.
The game headlines will be dominated to if Antonio Brown will suit
up amidst his latest trouble off the field. Either way, the Patriots have more
than enough without Brown to make this a non-contest. Points will be flying from
New England and we’ll bite on the insane spread.
NE covers
the spread @ -18.5 NE 43 MIA 0 (W)
Kansas City (Favorite) @ Oakland
Caesars -7
Westgate -7.5
William Hill N/A
Unibet -7.5
SportSelect -7.5
The Kansas City Chiefs looked great in their first game of the season
making quick work of the Jaguars on their home turf. Patrick Mahomes found
Sammy Watkins with regularity pumping up a career day for the often injured
receiver. With Tyreek Hill now on the sidelines for the next several weeks,
rookie Mecole Hardman gets his opportunity possessing the same skillset as Hill.
We will be watching this close to see if he can make a giant impact.
Now speaking of the Oakland Raiders, they showed very well on
Monday Night verse the Broncos looking organized and efficient. However, the
task against the Chiefs high-octane unit will put them to the test early and we
feel they won’t recover. Kansas City keeps rolling to start the season.
KC covers
the spread @ -7 KC 28 OAK 10 (W)
New Orleans @ LA Rams (Favorite)
Caesars -2.5
Westgate -2.5
William Hill N/A
Unibet 2.5
SportSelect -2.5
Shaping up to be the game of the week, the Saints travel to Los
Angeles to take on the Rams. Both teams showed positives last week to go along
with some negatives. The Rams didn’t look like themselves appearing to be somewhat
sluggish for a large part of the day. Knowing Sean McVay and how he likes to
operate, he should have this offense looking much better at home.
The Saints are coming off a thriller on Monday Night as they hit a
last second 58 yard field goal to beat the Texans in what could be one of the
best games of the year. Taking travel to LA will have its challenges, but we
like the overall game of the Saints to the Rams early this season. Give us the Saints
to ruin the spread.
LAR doesn’t cover
the spread @ -2.5 NO 9 LAR 27 (L)
Chicago (Favorite) @ Denver
Caesars -2.5
Westgate -2.5
William Hill N/A
Unibet -2.5
SportSelect -2.5
With both of these clubs coming off abysmal showings in week one,
we aren’t overly encouraged that this contest will provide much of anything spectacular.
The Broncos looked flat and disinterested until late in the game last week and
should have their hands full with the Bears great defense.
While the Bears defense was again on fire, the offense and
Mitchell Trubisky need much improvement on the offensive side. We have every
indication that rookie David Montgomery will be used much more in this contest
giving the Bears a true leg up. Denver will struggle again in week two.
CHI covers
the spread @ -2.5 CHI 16 DEN 14 (L)
Philadelphia (Favorite) @ Atlanta
Caesars -1.5
Westgate -1.5
William Hill -1

Sunday Night Football always seems to provide great entertainment,
and this week will be no different, The Eagles take travel to Atlanta to face
off against the Falcons which should be a great match. While the Falcons looked
rough last week in Minnesota, we fully expect them to regain their form and put
on a show through the air in primetime.
The Eagles on the other hand showed great heart coming back from
17-points down to the Redskins and pulling out the victory behind Carson Wentz
and DeSean Jackson. This contest is very difficult to predict from the onset,
and we know it should be tight. While we like the Eagles to come out on top,
something tells us to side with the Falcons. We will ignore that notion and
stick with the Eagles.
PHI covers
the spread @ -1.5 PHI 20 ATL 24 (L)
Monday
Sept.16
Cleveland (Favorite) @ NY Jets
Caesars -2.5

Concluding week two on Monday Night Football, the Browns travel to
New York to save face from their horrible first week show. While much improvement
needs to take shape on this Browns squad altogether, we have confidence we will
see a far better team this week.
Favoring the Browns appears to go much further than just the
spread, recent reports have said that Sam Darnold will sit this one out with an
illness and LeVeon Bell is questionable with a shoulder injury. Even if the
Browns give it 50% effort, they should come out on top with ease.
CLE covers
the spread @ -2.5 CLE 23 NYJ 3 (W)
