Some teams come into the week hoping to avoid that dreaded 0-2 record, which spells doom for about 90% of teams, while others hope to build on the momentum gained from an opening week victory. Week 2 is one of the hardest weeks to bet in the NFL because it’s so early to overreact to what we saw in Week 1, but let’s get into the picks. You can bet 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan will have his team ready to go in NFL Week 2. Plus, the Jets have the NFL’s worst record ATS - 12-20-1 - since 2018. The 49ers will win and cover.

Week 16 NFL picks, odds: Back Panthers vs. Ron Rivera, don't trust the Bears and more best bets Three picks and a cloud of trust. That was the difference between a 2-1 week and a 1-1-1 week. That's the best in the NFL. They are 7-2 ATS this season and covering by an average of DOUBLE DIGITS. The Dolphins are legit. Lay the field goal. I wanted to bet the Colts here.

Not a good start to last week, folks. A 1-3 record is not where you want to be after the first week, but that’s why we said to ease into the NFL season when it comes to picks.

The Week 2 advice is a bit different than Week 1 although it still kind of has to do with gambling decision making. If we say to wade into shallow waters during Week 1then Week 2 really has to do with overreactions. Lines will go haywire based on one game of football. The Cowboys are unbeatable. The Patriots are going to beat the Dolphins by 20. The Falcons stink and the Bears may never score an offensive touchdown. Those are the things books want us to think. They want us to believe that whatever happened Week 1 will happen again in Week 2. Teams will be overvalued. Totals will be too low or too high. We can make some decisions and we should stick to those decisions — such as never betting on Joe Flacco as a favorite ever again — but other decisions we have to make thinking if the book wants us to bet one way or the other.

For the newcomers, this isn’t a normal betting article. I won’t pick every game. I will actually use over/unders for game totals and team totals. I’ll throw in a prop bet if it’s interesting and on the board. I will definitely throw in teasers and parlays.

A quick reminder on teasers: On two-team teasers we get six points to play with. Let’s use completely hypothetical Pittsburgh v. Cleveland line that is listed Pittsburgh -9, and an Atlanta v. Tampa Bay line that is listed Atlanta – 7 as an example. That means we can move that line six points either way — so Steelers -3 or Cleveland +15. To do so we must move another line as well. In this case, our teaser bet is Pittsburgh -3 and Atlanta -1. We must win both bets. Meaning if Pittsburgh were to win by three — a push — we’d lose. If Atlanta wins by one, same thing. We must win each side. Teaser bets are also known as sucker’s bets because they are actually pretty difficult to hit. Everyone puts money on it thinking it’s an easy win and then they lose. We have crumpled betting tickets in our hands and maybe we use them to wipe the tears. Teasers come in the six-point, 10-point, and 14-point variety. We can do three-team six-point teasers for better odds. We will always explain it.

Here’s my normal caveat: please, please ease into the first weeks — if you’re hypothetically betting on games. Teams can surprise you. Teams will disappoint you. It’s tough to get a good handle on the NFL until at least five to six weeks into the season. Find out what teams you like and what teams you don’t like and stick to it. By the middle of the season, Las Vegas will have adjusted and there won’t be a chance to sneak in some value here and there.

And remember, this is just for fun. Because watching football is supposed to be fun. Alright, let’s get started.
