NFL Week 2 is almost always an impo sible endeavor because we have to take priors we had coming into the season, watch them go up in flames during Week 1 and also try not to overreact to what we saw in Marlon Mack Jersey the first week when making selections for the second stanza of the season.There was chaos everywhere last week, with a multitude of significant favorites losing (and singlehandedly wiping out survivor leagues).Now several of those teams are favored, and there are a few poorly performing teams who are double-digit favorites. The schedule- makers did us no favors with these second-week matchups because the point spreads are so inflated for teams who we can't quite trust.Let's try and navigate the chaos.Thursday, 8:20 p.m. ETStream:Amazon PrimeFollow: Featured Game | Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers Moneyline Spread Total KC LAC It's the first Thursday night game on Amazon Prime. Prepare yourself, because someone in your family (aunt, uncle, mom, dad, someone) will text you asking where the hell this game is being played. Kindly explain to them: All the packages arriving at their house with free shipping entitles them to watch this game via a basic streaming service. The Chiefs looked AWESOME in Week 1 and the Chargers were quite nice as well. This is the fourth meeting between Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert (Week 17 of 2020 Mahomes didn't start because the division was clinched) and all three previous meetings have been decided by a game-winning score either in the final minute of regulation or overtime. If you want to bet the total, take it live when one team is down two scores and has to start winging it around. I'm backing Mahomes here. The pick:Chiefs 28, Chargers 21Props, Best Bets: Chiefs -4Sunday, 1 p.m. ETTV:CBS|Stream aramount+ ( ) Featured Game | Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Indianapolis Colts Moneyline Spread Total JAC IND The Colts' last win in Jacksonville was 2014. Indy was much better last week than the scoreboard showed, at least offensively, because Matt Ryan got dogged by some drops. The Jaguars had multiple chances to win at Washington; they should treat this game like it's their Super Bowl, a chance for Doug Pederson to flex on his old OC Frank Reich or vice versa. The panic over Trevor Lawrence is weird to me -- he mi sed throws on Sunday for sure. But if the Jags put enough around him, he'll win. That's a Jags problem, not a Trevor Lawrence problem. Jacksonville feels like a live dog NFL Houston Texans Jersey here to me. The pick:Jaguars 24, Colts 21Props, Best Bets: Jaguars +4Sunday, 1 p.m. ETTV:CBS|Streamaramount+ ( ) Featured Game | Baltimore Ravens vs. Miami Dolphins Moneyline Spread Total BAL MIA This opened Ravens -4 and has trended toward the Dolphins. TuAnon makes me scared to knock Miami, but two key plays for the Dolphins (strip sack by the goal line, the fourth-and-7 touchdown pa s before half) completely flipped the Week 1 game against the Patriots. Baltimore poses a much stiffer test and the Ravens looked explosive after a sluggish first-half start.The Pick: Ravens 28, Dolphins 14Bets: Ravens -4Sunday, 1 p.m. ETTV:CBS|Streamaramount+ ( ) Featured Game | Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New England Patriots Moneyline Spread Total PIT NE The Patriots and Steelers are opposite in terms of public perception after Week 1. But looking deeper into their respective games, it does feel like a cla sic Week 2 correction. The Steelers were a me s on offense for much of the game, while the Pats were much better on defense than the score would indicate. T.J. Watt's absence might be too big for the Steelers to overcome. I don't see how this game gets past 40 points. The Pick: Patriots 13, Steelers 7Bets: Under 40Sunday, 1 p.m. ETTV: Fox|Stream:fuboTV ( ) Featured Game | New York Giants vs. Carolina Panthers Moneyline Spread Total NYG CAR The Dave Gettleman Super Bowl! Ben McAdoo Revenge Game! If Cedric Ogbuehi Jersey you want a nonsensical, fun convo about the Giants and Panthers . Talking with those guys made me like the Panthers more -- they looked terrible for most of Week 1 but so did the Giants. The Panthers' short-area, YAC skill position guys should be a problem for this Giants defense. E sentially the Don Martindale/Ben McAdoo matchup is how this plays out, with regard to how Christian McCaffrey attacks the second level.The Pick: Panthers 21, Giants 17Bets: Panthers +2.5Sunday, 1 p.m. ETTV:CBS|Streamaramount+ ( ) Featured Game | Cleveland Browns vs. New York Jets Moneyline Spread Total CLE NYJ If you're a Panthers fan, don't read this but: Remember when this would have been Sam Darnold against Baker Mayfield for the future of the AFC? Robert Saleh's comments were extremely odd this week -- it felt panicky. But maybe it's a good thing for a Jets team capable of shutting down the Ravens run game. If New York forces Jacoby Bri sett to throw a ton, the Jets can steal this game.The Pick: Jets 17, Browns 10Bets:Jets +6.5Sunday, 1 p.m. ETTV: Fox|Stream:fuboTV ( ) Featured Game | New Orleans Saints vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Moneyline Spread Total NO TB It's super weird Tom Brady hasn Kenyon Green Jersey 't beaten the Saints with the Buccaneers. But I'm gonna ride with it. The Pick: Saints 27, Bucs 24Bets: Pa sSunday, 1 p.m. ETTV:Fox|Stream: fuboTV ( ) Featured Game | Detroit Lions vs. Washington Commanders Moneyline Spread Total DET WAS Points, points, points in this game. Carson Wentz and the downfield pa sing game for Washington look explosive. Detroit will not quit and will keep trying to score until the final whistle blows. Washington looks better than most people thought. Detroit was getting toasted before it closed the gap against Philly last week.The Pick: Washington 34, Lions 31Bets: OverSunday, 4:05 p.m. ETTV: Fox|Stream:fuboTV ( ) Featured Game | Los Angeles Rams vs. Atlanta Falcons Moneyline Spread Total LAR ATL Hard game to get a handle on. The Rams looked awful in Week 1, and while it easily could have just been the Bills being the best team in football, I think there are definitely some red flags for L.A. moving forward. The offensive line woes and the lack of depth/talent at the wide receiver position showed up in Week 1. It shouldn't be as big a deal when it comes to a matchup with the Falcons in Week 2 and I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Rams focused on getting Allen Robinson fed in a squeaky wheel type of game Sunday.The Pick: Rams 28, Falcons 14Bets: Allen Robinson over receiving yardsSunday, 4:05 p.m. ETTV:Fox|Stream: fuboTV ( ) Featured Game | San Francisco 49ers vs. Seattle Seahawks Moneyline Spread Total SF SEA Pretty shocking to see how this line moved based off the respective Week 1 results from these NFC West rivals. Seattle looked great against the Broncos, stealing a win from Ru s and Denver. The 49ers suffered an eyebrow-raising lo s in Chicago, albeit one that took place in a rarely seen monsoon. The weather conditions definitely warrant giving Trey Lance and the offense a pa s, although it didn't exactly stop Justin Fields and the Bears from finding points in the second half. Pete Carroll has had a lot of succe s against San Francisco in the past half decade and the Seahawks look legitimately formidable. The Pick: 49ers 28, Seahawks 24Bets: Pa sSunday, 4:25 p.m. ETTV:CBS|Streamaramount+ ( ) Featured Game | Las Vegas Raiders vs. Jimmy Morrissey Jersey Arizona Cardinals Moneyline Spread Total LV ARI I have no clue what to do with this game. Are the Cardinals what we saw last week? If so, the Raiders can pile up the points against a ques
