Dread it, run from it... a Jalen Hurts QB sneak arrives all the same.
The eagles got off to a bumpy start, but eventually righted their offense and ended up dominating Minnesota, easily covering their -6.5 spread.
Iāll be honest, I thought Minnesota would give them a tougher match up given Philadelphiaās banged up secondary.
On another completely unrelated note, can you imagine trying to cover this guy?
Apparently, heās the only guy in the league that canāt be covered 1 on 1 (according to some NFL Insiders).

NFL Sunday Week 2 Picks
Here are the five best over/under bets for NFL Week 2:
Seahawks @ Lions: Over/Under: 47.5, Prediction: Over
This Seahawks D allowed 30+ to a Rams team that is not likely to make the playoffs. The Lions have serious playmakers like Amon-Ra St. Brown. And for that matter, so do the Seahawks with DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.Chargers @ Titans: Over/Under: 45.5, Prediction: Under
Yes, the Chargers allowed a track meet against the Dolphins. But the Titans are not the Dolphins. The Titans always have a stout defense as well. I predict a low scoring affair.Raiders @ Bills: Over/Under: 46.5, Prediction: Over
Josh Allen is mad. After his Week 1 performance, I would not be surprised if the Bills put up 35+ in order to make a statement.Giants @ Cardinals: Over/Under: 39.5, Prediction: Over
The Giants are not as bad as they showed in Week 1. And the Cardinals do not have a great team. I can see the Giants scoring 27 and the Cardinals 17, scoring the over.Saints @ Panthers: Over/Under: 39.5, Prediction: Under
The Saints have a solid defense and neither team has an explosive offense.
Against the spread bets:
Jacksonville Jaguars (+3) vs. Kansas City Chiefs
The best price to get the Jaguars right now is at +3 (-114) on BetRivers Sportsbook.
Jacksonville looked impressive in their opener, and Kelce is still not guaranteed to play. If he does play, the line should move, and you should still take the Jags to cover.Cincinnati Bengals (-3.5) vs. Baltimore Ravens
Wager on Cincinnati to cover the -3.5 spread (-102) on FanDuel Sportsbook.
The Bengals will bounce back with a vengeance. Baltimore is missing their #1 back. And there is no way Burrow plays that bad back to back. Higgins and Chase should have big games.Atlanta Falcons (+1.5) vs. Green Bay Packers
The best price to get Atlanta +1.5 is at BetRivers Sportsbook at -109.
This is purely based off injury. Christian Watson and Aaron Jones appear to have hamstring injuries. If they donāt play, I like Atlanta and Bijan here.Bijan Robinson went BEAST MODE for his first NFL TD š¤Æ

Sep 10, 2023NY Giants (-4) vs. Arizona Cardinals
Bet on the Giants currently at -4 on a variety of sportsbooks as of Monday evening.
The Cardinals just donāt have it this year. And the Giants are not that bad. I think they will bounce back under leadership from their coach.New England Patriots (+2.5) vs. Miami Dolphins
The best price to get the Patriots at +2.5 (-109) is on BetRivers Sportsbook.
This is an interesting one based on home field:
New England has won 12 of the past 14 matchups at Gillette Stadium, including a 23-21 win on New Year's Day last season.

NFL Fantasy Corner: Week 2

Flex starter:
Romeo DoubsĀ WR - GREEN BAY ā¢ #87
James CookĀ RB - BUFFALO ā¢ #4
Mike WilliamsĀ WR - L.A. CHARGERS ā¢ #81
Start him:
Luke MusgraveĀ TE - GREEN BAY ā¢ #88
Anthony RichardsonĀ QB - INDIANAPOLIS ā¢ #5

Zay and London will be breakouts this year, but it wonāt be in this game. Baltimore has O-Line Issues and there are better receivers to stream this week.
Sleeper:
Roschon JohnsonĀ RB - CHICAGO ā¢ #30
Christian KirkĀ WR - JACKSONVILLE ā¢ #13
Kirk was Lawrenceās favorite target last year. Theyāll get back on track this game against the Chiefs.
