NFL Football Picks

The Bears looked horrible last week vs. the Packers. Tampa Bay went into Minnesota and knocked them off. An enigma or is Baker Mayfield’s team good? Get Jay’s Chi/TB Week 3 free pick here!

The New York Jets come to FirstEnergy Stadium to battle the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football. The Jets weren’t able to follow a great week one win, losing 20-12 at home to the ‘Dolphins last Sunday. The Browns, meanwhile, fell to the Saints in overtime, with a series of bad breaks once again costing them a needed W. Who can get the big win on Thursday? Loot breaks it down!

Russell Wilson was sacked 6 times last week in a loss to the Broncos. Things won’t get any easier for the Seahawks without WR Doug Baldwin who went down with a knee injury and will miss several weeks. The running game is virtually nonexistent for Seattle. Should the Seahawks only be 3.5 point dogs versus the Chicago Bears? Jay Horne gives his NFL pick.

This Sunday in Landover, Maryland, the Washington Redskins will host the Indianapolis Colts. The Redskins are a two field goal favorite versus Andrew Luck and company, an offensive group that hasn’t been together for a while. Is 6 points, and even 6.5 at some sportsbooks, too much for an Indianapolis team that is expected to be better after their week 1 run?

Kevin West breaks down this game and offers his total pick and analysis. “It won’t matter if Minnesota runs or passes, Green Bay’s defense is so horrible that they’re going to move the ball down field either way. “But what about the Vikings D?” They’re not as good away from home, plus I watched the game vs. SF twice and there were Niner receivers leaking out all over the place, many times wide open! Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers is expected to be a shoot out. The total is currently 46.5. Read the full pick!

The crowd was pumped in Oakland on Monday Night, celebrating the return of John Gruden. Beyond that there wasn’t much to celebrate for Raider Nation. The Broncos on the other hand pulled out a nice win versus Seattle. Can Gruden get his first win… Or at least cover that six?

Things didn’t go so great for Jimmy Garoppolo and the Niners in week one, with a 24-16 loss and no-cover at Minnesota. For the Lions, first signs were not good. Matthew Stafford struggled behind a line that might not have come along as far as some have thought. Which QBs bounce back in week 2?

Loot Levinson breaks down the week 2 match-up between the Arizona Cardinals and the Los Angeles Rams. Sportsbooks have the Rams 12.5 points better than the Cards and expect around 46.6 points on the board. Last year the Rams beat the Cardinals both times, by a combined score of 55-16. Will this trend continue?

The Eagles make the trip to Raymond James Stadium on Sunday for a week 2 NFC battle versus the Buccaneers. Both teams won their opener. The defending Super Bowl champion Eagles overcame a slow start to beat a good Falcons team on Thursday, 18-12, showing a lot of what made them so good last season. Tampa, meanwhile, was the surprise of week 1, handing the Saints an earlier than expected L. Who can take it to 2-0 on Sunday in Tampa? Read Loot Levinson’s breakdown.
