After last week’s results this game becomes more interesting. Has the Ravens improved that much on offense with Lamar Jackson more seasoned and the addition of Mark Ingram at RB? Are the Cards going to be hard pressed to compete like they were in the first three quarters of Week 1 or are they the team that gave the Lions a big scare with a solid rally in the 4th? Get Loot’s take on how this will play out with his Week 2 pick.
It’s difficult to not put too much weight into the Week 1 results, but both these clubs have some issues. Sure, Buffalo has a good defense, but the Jets 223 yards of offense is not going to lead to many victories in the NFL. The Browns offense racked up an acceptable 346 yards, but Mayfield had three INTs and was sacked five times. Get our prognosticator’s analysis and free pick.
Houston looked mighty good in giving the Saints a scare on Monday night in New Orleans. They travel home to take on their AFC South division foe Jacksonville. The spread is a large 8.5 points which is usually a go against in divisional games, but with a rookie making his first NFL start it may be too low. Check out which side of the line Loot is playing.
The Lions amassed 477 yards of offense in Week 1 but faded late to leave Arizona with a 27-27 tie. The Chargers gained 435 yards themselves but their defense was exploited on the ground allowing 203 yards on 33 carries. The NFL board lists the visiting Chargers as a -2.5 favorite over the host Lions. Read on to get our handicapper’s forecasted point spread winner.
The Seahawks really struggled in Week 1 vs. a Bengals team they should have dominated. Now they have to travel back east to take on an angry Steelers club that was embarrassed on national tv by the Pats. Ben Roethlisberger and crew ALWAYS play much better at home. Bad spot for Seattle here!
The Oregon Ducks putting up 77 points vs. Nevada last week tells me all I need to know… They’ll beat up on lesser opponents and keep their foot on the pedal until the clock ticks zero. Autzen Stadium is one of college football’s toughest places to play. Bug meets windshield Saturday.
Deontay Wilder takes on Luis Ortiz on November 9 for the WBC Heavyweight Title. It is a rematch of a hotly-contested 2018 bout when Wilder overcame some rocky passages to win by 10th round stoppage. Read on to get my analysis and top value bet.
The Bucs and the Panthers kick off Week 2 NFL betting on Thursday night in Carolina. Both teams dropped their season openers, but the Panthers looked better in their defeat. The oddsmaker has this game on the board at Car -6.5 with a total line of 50. Read on to get Loot’s pick against the spread.
The Buffalo Bulls are sneaky good. The current line of -29.5 is inflated after the Nittany Lions laid the wood to the Idaho Vandals in a 79-7 whoopin’. Don’t get caught on the wrong side of the biggest Week 2 college football sucker bet!
“To Zeke or not to Zeke?” Does it really even matter? The Pokes offensive line is lean, mean and healthy. The Giants are fade material as long as they keep running Eli out there.
