Week 1 is in the books, meaning it’s time for bettors to turn their attention to NFL Week 2 picks & predictions.
NFL Week 2 is typically marked with overreactions to the season-opening slate for casual bettors, allowing the sharps to come in and pick off undervalued teams being overlooked due to one bad performance.
When it comes to this weekend’s games specifically, Action PRO is already citing three matchups landing smart money, including Raiders vs. Ravens, Seahawks vs. Patriots and Falcons vs. Eagles.
NFL Week 2 Picks, Predictions
Odds as of Tuesday morning.
Raiders vs. Ravens Prediction
Sunday, Sept. 15 | 1 p.m. ET | CBS
The Ravens are 9.5-point favorites against the Raiders in Week 2, though pro bettors are taking a liking to the total instead.
BetMGM opened this number at 43.5 on Sunday night, but multiple waves of sharp action have coming crashing in on the under since, forcing the total down to a consensus of 41.5 early in the week.
PRO Pick: Under 41.5 (-110) — BetMGM
Seahawks vs. Patriots Prediction
Sunday, Sept. 15 | 1 p.m. ET | FOX
New England pulled off the biggest upset of Week 1, beating Cincinnati outright after closing as an eight-point underdog.
But much like the game above, it’s the over/under that’s landing market-moving action.
Sharps have steamed the under four times already, driving the total down from 41 to 38 as of the time of writing.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market that’s often the result of bettors with the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same wager at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
PRO Pick: Under 38 (-110) — Caesars
Falcons vs. Eagles Prediction
Monday, Sept. 16 | 8:15 p.m. ET | ABC/ESPN
The Eagles just won a big game against the Packers while the Falcons looked terrible in a loss to the Steelers, making this seem like a classic Week 1 overreaction spot.
However, the wiseguys are laying the points with Philadelphia for Monday Night Football.
PRO Pick: Eagles -6.5 (-110) — bet365
