2021 NFL Week 2 Predictions

 2021 NFL Week 2 Predictions

 

Broncos -6 over Jags, 23-16

-Broncos are a much more solid team. Their defense is a significant step up from the Houston team Trevor Lawrence played last week.

 

Bills -3.5 over Dolphins, 26-20

-Bills aren’t going to lose two in a row and while the Miami defense is solid...it’s not Pittsburgh.

 

Browns -12.5 over Texans, 31-10

-That was nice, Houston. Good luck versus this team.

 

Bengals +3 over Bears, 24-23

-Until Fields plays, there’s a very low ceiling for this Bear’s offense. As weak as the Bengals are on the OL, and various parts of the defense, they’re so good at the skill positions. And with the Bears so bad at defending skill positions, it won’t matter. 

 

49ers -3 over Eagles, 26-16

-I can’t wait until Week 8 when the 49ers are on their 7th RB off the streets and I still spend 40% of my FAAB budget on them. Excited to watch Devonta Smith, though. 

 

Saints -3.5 over Panthers, 27-13

-The Saints might be a real contender that was hiding in plain sight. It’s possible that losing the limited version of Brees that they had, and the idea of what the team with Brees was, actually freed them from self-imposed constraints. I also like the idea that they started Taysom last year so Jameis couldn’t play well and garner a better contract. The Panthers tried hard last week, but the Saint’s are NOT the Jets.

 

Rams -3.5 over Colts, 38-13

-Wow is this team loaded. To my eyes, the Rams are better than the Seahawks, who just rolled this Colts team. 

 

Steelers -6.5 over Raiders, 17-10

-I am really going to try to not watch one minute of this game. 

 

Pats -5.5 over Jets, 27-16

-Bill doesn’t lose to rookie QBs and I love what I have seen from Mac so far.

 

Cards -3.5 over Vikings, 31-27

-Just take the over, baby. 

 

Bucs -12.5 over Falcons, 34-20

-This could get ugly in Tampa. 

 

Chargers -3.5 over Cowboys, 37-33

-I am so excited for so many points! They’re all going to score points! There are so many points!

 

Seahawks -6.5 over Titans, 31-24

-Yikes, the Titans are our surprise 0-2 team, aren’t they? Oh well, they will still win the AFC South. 

 

Chiefs -3.5 over Ravens, 33-27

-I’d love to pick the Ravens, but this broken shell of a team is only getting half a TD versus Mahomes. You just have to take the Cheifs here. 

 

Packers -12.5 over Lions, 33-12

-That’s a lot of points to lay after watching the horror of Green Bay’s performance versus New Orleans last week. However, this is the Lions we’re talking about.
