Italicized for win
Bolded for spread
Jacksonville Jaguars (+9) @ Tennessee Titans - Gardner Minshew provided some patented Minshew Magic in week 1 although he often was not able to provide it for consecutive games in a row last season. Perhaps the Jaguars can keep it close if Gostkowski kicking woes continue. The Titans are without AJ Brown which means more running opportunities for Derrick Henry.
Carolina Panthers @ Tampa Buccaneers (-9.5) - The Bucs are better defensively which may be the reason why they are getting points. The Panthers gave up 30 rushing TDs last week and their defense this season is arguably worse. Look for Ronald Jones and Leonard Fournette to take advantage even if Brady struggles.
Denver Broncos(+7.5) @ Pittsburgh Steelers - With Cortland Sutton playing, perhaps the Broncos will do enough to keep it close although the Steelers did come away looking impressive against the Giants in the 2nd half.
Los Angeles Rams (-1) @ Philadelphia Eagles - Lane Johnson and Miles Sanders are back. Still, the Rams may have a slight edge with the interesting offensive packages they can throw out there and the left side of the Eagles offensive line is still in question.
San Francisco 49ers (-7) (LOCK) @ New York Jets - 49ers receivers are all banged up including tight end George Kittle. Jamison Crowder and LeVeon Bell are both out meaning Frank Gore can get even more opportunities against the team that drafted him. Expect the 49ers to pound the ground in this one.
Buffalo Bills (-5.5) @ Miami Dolphins - A decent defense secondary for the dolphins plus homefield advantage but the Bills are clicking on all cylinders on both sides of the ball. Fitzpatrick goes against one of his former teams which happens every single time he plays a division opponent.
Minnesota Vikings (+3) @ Indianapolis Colts - Minnesota defense struggled against the Packers offense but perhaps they can do enough against a less explosive offense. Rivers did struggle against the Jaguars for a win though and the Vikings with Cousins, Thielen, and Cook could also get it going.
Detroit Lions @ Green Bay Packers (-6) (LOCK) - All of the Lions starting corners are injured which could lend to the Packers having back to back explosive weeks. Kenny Golladay is out again which could hurt Marvin Jones. Peterson averaged 6.6 yards per carry last week and could get more work than Swift, who the Lions drafted in the 2nd round.
Atlanta Falcons (+4.5) @ Dallas Cowboys - Both teams have great wideouts while the Cowboys do boast a better defense. Eventually the Falcons are going to have to start playing defense if Dan Quinn wants to keep his head coaching job.
New York Giants (+5.5) @ Chicago Bears - Mitchell Trubisky played out of his mind in the closing quarter against the the Bears. Slayton really got it going last week. I am expecting Daniel Jones to bounce back after a poor showing against the Steelers.
Washington Football Team @ Arizona Cardinals (-7) - Both teams are surprisingly undefeated. It is going to be a super fast paced offensive day. The Football Team is scared of Murray's scrambling ability while the Cardinals fear Washington's pass rush. DeAndre Hopkins and Kenyan Drake are better offensively than the skill position players the Eagles put out last week.
Kanas City Chiefs (-7.5) LOCK @ Los Angeles Chargers - The Chargers struggled throwing the ball against the Bengals. Complacency could be a risk for the Chiefs, that being said, the Chiefs also have had extra time coming off a Thursday Night game to prepare for this one.
Baltimore Ravens (-7.5)(LOCK) @ Houston Texans - Could the Texans be more competitive after a poor showing. Some say the Texans do play well coming off of byes The last time the Ravens played the Ravens outscored the Texans 41-7.
New England Patriots(+4) @ Seattle Seahawks - 67 games in a row that the Patriots have been favored and now it is over. Russel Wilson and Cam Newton battle again in what could be another classic game.
New Orleans Saints (-5.5) @ Las Vegas Raiders - The Saints handily took care of the Bucs last week. While Michael Thomas's status is in question, they largely didn't need him. New Orleans defense should do a better job in containing the Raiders than the Panthers last week.
