We’re Selecting Winners For Week 2 Of The 2024 NFL Season
As famous earlier than Week 1, the 2023 NFL season was type to us. It was a profitable yr. It was a profitable playoff run. It was a profitable Tremendous Bowl. Nevertheless, Week 1 in 2024 was not as pleasant and, in truth, every little thing that might go flawed occurred to go flawed. There have been horrible bets just like the Panthers (yikes!) and Jets (meh), however there have been additionally bets we’d make once more however nonetheless misplaced.
For one, the Rams compelled extra time, solely to lose by 6 when getting 4.5 factors. That occurs over the course of the season, however that doesn’t make it any extra enjoyable. Additionally, that will sometimes be the worst loss on a five-game slate however… not this time. This time, the Titans led by 17 factors in opposition to the Bears and managed to lose by seven with a calamity of errors that’s troublesome to explain. Maybe the perfect nugget is that it was the first time in NFL historical past wherein a group led by 17 factors at halftime and misplaced to a group that didn’t attain 150 whole yards. I might write 1,000 phrases on that loss alone, however I received’t. For now.
Anyway, we’ll try and proper the ship in Week 2 and, earlier than we hand out 5 choices, let’s have a look at the ache from the opener another time.
- Week 1: 1-4
- 2024 Season: 1-4
Come get these winners.
TEASER: Buffalo Payments (+8.5) over Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens (-2.5) over Las Vegas Raiders — Extensively Out there
Within the Circa Million contest, Buffalo is +3 in opposition to Miami and, should you can snag that quantity, I’d. Nevertheless, it’s 2.5 virtually throughout the board available in the market, and we’re pivoting to an outdated dependable within the Wong teaser. We’ll take Buffalo and Baltimore via a pair of key numbers on each side and hope to revenue accordingly.
Carolina Panthers (+6) over Los Angeles Chargers — Extensively Out there
The Panthers can be within the “completely not” zone if this goes poorly, however every little thing in my physique is pointing to this. The ATS numbers for groups coming off blowout losses are very sturdy, and that is the final word “purchase low, promote excessive” spot. Carolina might be horrible, however I’m going to say that is an overreaction. Prayers appreciated.
Indianapolis Colts (-2.5) over Inexperienced Bay Packers — Extensively Out there
Carolina is as gross because it will get and, within the subsequent breath, we’re taking a sq. facet. I’m afraid of laying factors on the highway with Indianapolis, however the counter is that Inexperienced Bay is beginning Malik Willis. The drop-off at quarterback is totally wild for Inexperienced Bay right here, and we’re using it.
Tennessee Titans (+4) over New York Jets — Extensively Out there
This isn’t as gross because the Carolina choose, however it could be shut. Tennessee was excruciating in Week 1, however we merely should take 4 factors at residence in opposition to the Jets. Sure, New York is the higher group, however the offense was not precisely a shining beacon on Monday. This could possibly be a slugfest and grabbing the complete 4 is vital.
Denver Broncos (+2.5) over Pittsburgh Steelers — Extensively Out there
The Steelers did what the Steelers at all times appear to do in Week 1 after they slugged their strategy to a highway win as an underdog in Atlanta. It was the complete Mike Tomlin expertise, from a swarming protection to an opponent that was intent on beating itself. This time, Pittsburgh is a favourite on the highway and we’re as soon as once more taking a gross underdog. We have been in opposition to Denver in our solely win (sigh) final week, and Bo Nix is kind of scary to wager on. We should stand on precept. Take the factors.
