NFL Week 2, Tips and Previews

Washington vs. Giants

September 17th

A clash between NFC East rivals ensues when Washington and New York go head to head in week two. 

Both teams will be seeking victory after falling short in their respective season openers as injuries begin to have influence on Washington. 

The Giants to get back on track and find a way to even their record by beating a division foe that they have had success against in recent years.

New York was tied at zero after the opening quarter, took a 7-3 lead early in the second quarter and still held that edge late in the half.

However, after that, it was all an uphill battle for the Giants as it struggled to contain a slick Denver offence to go down 27-13. 

Washington, meanwhile, did almost everything it could in the game against the Chargers but when it really mattered they failed to land critical plays and catches to suffered a 20-16 loss.

Washington will take great hope out of that game. 

There will be plenty of learnings from that contest against the Chargers and can definitely even their record on a short turnaround. 

SUGGESTED BET:

Washington head to head at $1.54

Ravens vs. Chiefs

September 13th

Two Super Bowl fancies clash this weekend when Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens and 2019 MVP Lamar Jackson. 

The Chiefs wiped the sweat off their brows after surviving an season opening scare against Cleveland to come away with a 33-29 win. 

Kansas trailed heading into the final quarter, but Mahomes and his troops went to work late in the piece. 

The Ravens, meanwhile, were left with their heads in their hands after succumbing to a nail-biting OT loss against Las Vegas. 

Since the Mahomes-Jackson era kicked off, it has been the Chiefs who have won all three encounters thus far. 

Expecting the usual trio of Mahomes, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce to do all the damage in this contest. 

Mahomes is already on track to surpass his 2020/21 season after throwing for 337 yards and three touchdowns in the three-point win over the Browns. 

SUGGESTED BET:

Kansas City Chiefs -6.5 at $1.90

Packers vs. Lions

September 14th

If you could find an uglier start to an NFL season than that of Green Bay you would be doing a great job. 

The Packers were simply horrendous in their season openining 38-3 loss against New Orleans last week. 

Detroit is not exactly picked to achieve greatness this season, but might just very well pinch a win if the Packers play the way they did last week. 

Aaron Rodgers looked a shell of the MVP winner he was last year and the unstable pre-season might just be having a negative effect on the group.  

With that in mind, the Packers did go 13-3 in 2020/21, so there is a good reputation there. 

The Lions did show some talent on offence in their season opener against San Francisco, but it is the defence that will leave punters worried. 

A 41-33 loss last Monday is the form the Liosn bring into this game and, even though Green Bay was horrendous, it should still have enough in the tank to get the first ‘W’ of the season.

SUGGESTED BET:

Detroit Lions +11.5 at $1.87
