5 Sure Bets This NFL Sunday 

Houston Texans v New England Patriots

It's week 2 in the NFL season teams are still finding identities and even a win in the win column. We saw last week that any given thing can happen on any Sunday. This week can we expect more of the same? Of course but there are some solid options to win some big money this week in the NFL. Here are my 5 sure bets this Week 2 of the NFL Season.


#5 Los Angeles Chargers vs. Buffalo Bills

Kansas City Chiefs v Los Angeles Chargers
Los Angeles Chargers

On Bovada the Chargers are -8 this week against the Buffalo Bills. I feel really comfortable taking the Chargers in this one. Josh Allen the rookie Quarterback was announced as the starter for the game after a very rough game for Bills backup Nathan Peterman. The Chargers even though they are coming east for a 1 pm start time game have Phillip Rivers who put some yards on a Chiefs Defense and after what Joe Flacco did the Bills defense it's hard for me to not pick them this week.

Pick: Los Angelas Chargers -8

#4 Philadelphia Eagles Vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Atlanta Falcons v Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles are coming into this week -3.5 going against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Fitzmagic was back against the New Orleans Saints last week. Fitzpatrick and the Buccaneers put 48 points up against a Saints defense that was going to be better than last year. It sure didn't seem that way. The Eagles defense is a whole different ball game. The pass rush lead by Fletcher Cox caused a lot of havoc against the Atlanta Falcons last week. If Nick Foles doesn't make mistakes and the Eagles defense continues to play the way they did I find it very difficult that Tampa is going to come out on top in this game.

Pick: Philadelphia -3.5

#3 Los Angelas Rams Vs Arizona Cardinals

Los Angeles Rams v Oakland Raiders
Los Angeles Rams

The spread going into this game is -13 for the Rams. That number is a big number that usually runs people off. I still feel confident about this game even with the spread. The Rams after finding themselves after the first half took over the Raiders and finished beating the Raiders by 20 points. Arizona struggled last week to find any shape or form on both offense and defense. I'm not sure Washington is that good a team or Arizona just had a bad day. I find it very hard to believe they are going to turn it around this week against a loaded Rams team that found its rhythm after not playing in the pre-season.

Pick Los Angelas Rams -13

#2 New York Giants VS. Dallas Cowboys

Jacksonville Jaguars v New York Giants
New York Giants

This game is always one of the best games of the week whether the teams are good or bad. In this game Dallas going off at -3. The New York Giants really struggled against the Jacksonville defense which was expected. Dallas struggled mightily last week on offense against Carolina. These two teams are coming in 0 and 1 to start their year. I really believe the Giants have more firepower which gives them the edge. Even though the Dallas defense looks much improved I see the offense the Giants can roll out which gives me more of an assurance that Giants offense can win this game by just outscoring Dallas

Pick: Giants +3

#1 Green Bay Packers Vs Minnesota Vikings

San Francisco 49ers v Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota Vikings

The spread for this game has not been released. Either way, the breakdown of this game is very simple why I'm picking Minnesota. They are simply a better overall team. Aaron Rodgers might be the most talented Quarterback in the NFL but Kirk Cousins and company are an overall top of the line team on both sides of the ball. With Aaron Rodgers dealing with a possible knee injury and after a heroic win I find it really hard not to go with the Vikings.

Pick: Minnesota Vikings
