Though appearing exploitative against the Jags last week, I don’t see the Wentz-led Commanders keeping up with the new-look Lions in a shootout. While Carson Wentz has posted terrific stats against the Lions – 497/4/1 quarterback stat line – he has yet to defeat them in two career games. Young’s absence leaves vulnerability to run up the middle, which plays right into Detroit’s strength. Now, they get a Commanders’s defense that held their own against the Jaguars, but will also be without stud defensive lineman Chase Young.
Led by D’Andre Swift, Jamaal Williams, and one of the best offensive lines in the NFL, the Lions dropped 35 points against a talented Eagles defense. Last week against the Eagles, the Lions had to prove that they could hang with an explosive Philadelphia offense, which they did. The Lions are 12-6 ATS in their last 18 games dating back to Week 1 of 2021. Now, I will push the chips in on the Lions to cover once again at home in Week 2 against an NFC East foe. I backed the Lions to cover against the Eagles in Week 1, which was the right call. Washington Commanders vs Detroit Lions Lions -1.5 (-115) at FanDuel Sportsbook WAGER: 1 Unit The Under is also 4-0 in the past four meetings between the Jets and Browns. While the Under is 5-0 in the past five games the Jets have played in September, it is also 6-0 in the past six games the Browns have played facing teams with a losing record. With a pair of subpar quarterbacks set to square off, expect a heavy dose of the running game on both sides, which will not only bleed the clock but will also likely equate to a low total. Joe Flacco was terrible in the season opener, which could trigger the Jets to deploy Mike White under center, assuming Zach Wilson is not ready. The Jets are also in yet another quarterback conundrum. In fact, the Ravens looked rusty and likely left points on the table. Speaking of the Jets, they looked awful in their loss to the Ravens. With arguably the NFL’s best running back tandem gashing the Panthers, look for the Browns to continue leaning on their pulverizing ground game on Sunday against the Jets. The Jacoby Brissett-led Browns dominated the Panthers in Week 1 for the first three quarters but nearly lost the game in the fourth. New York Jets vs Cleveland Browns Best Bet Under 40.5 Total Points (-110) at FanDuel Sportsbook WAGER: 1 Unit Last week, my NFL Best Bets went 4-3, but I broke even on units. With another packed 16-game slate on the horizon, NFL Week 2 is chock-full of favorable betting opportunities.Īnd now, with Week 1 behind us, teams are a little bit easier to read since they have begun to show their respective hands, which makes for an easier slate to handicap. Following a wild slate to open the 2022 NFL season, NFL Week 2 promises to be another banger.
