It was a whirlwind of an opening weekend in the NFL. As a lifelong Jets fan and Jets season ticket holder, this was supposed to be the season of a lifetime for me. That magical feeling lasted all of four regular season snaps. I am still in disbelief and find myself double-checking to make sure that really happened and I am not in some kind of sick nightmare. Luckily, this pure devastation means that my enjoyment this NFL season will purely come from betting. It was a decent first week for me betting wise, but the loss by the Chiefs on TNF really put me behind the 8 ball and caused a winning Sunday/Monday to mean nothing. We are starting slightly in the red this week but I am confident we will get it back soon. Let’s do this.

NFL YTD: 5-5 -1.65u

TNF- 1u Minnesota (+7) @ Eagles– This line seems like an overreaction (and it has since dropped below 7) after the Vikings’ loss Week One. These were two teams that I was spot on about Week One so I feel good about this. The Bucs +6 was my favorite ATS spot of last week and I knew that spot stank from a mile away. Meanwhile, I knew the Eagles/Pats game was a true coin flip and to stay away from the side altogether and I was right there too.

So, I am confident the Vikings’ offense will score enough to stay in this game. The Eagles’ D is already banged up and missing key pieces tonight. JJ and Addison should do enough to keep them in this game even if Hurts gets his. Vikings keep it close and have a chance to win outright.

1u Chiefs -2.5 @ Jags- Unfortunately, this is another line that is gone. This thing has crept up to 3.5 and I would not play it there. If you were unable to get this -2.5 then I would throw the Chiefs into a MLP with the Bills and get a good price there. Mahomes will be Mahomes and with Kelce back all should be right in the world again. I am down on this Jags team and would love to fade them here against the GOAT.

1.5u Bears +9/Falcons +7.5 Teaser- The Bears were another team I was right about last week and the Packers took care of business. However, I think this is a good buy spot on the Bears against a Bucs team with an inflated price after their big win. Fields should be able to eat against this defense and the Bears’ defense should look better against Baker.

I am buying the Bears and selling the Packers. I think the Falcons win this game outright and they are a team I like a lot. However, this was too good of a chance to get them over a TD rather than sweat them winning the game.

1u Bills/49ers/Giants MLP (+127)– These are three big favorites that I honestly considered laying the number with all three of them. However, Daniel Jones as a favorite and Shanny as a big favorite are not spots I like to be involved in so this MLP seemed perfect. It’s fade the Cards all season and the other two are pretty self-explanatory.

1u Jets +9/10, 0.5u Jets ML +385- I know I seem crazy here but this line seems way over-inflated after the Rodgers news. This Jets team with Zach Wilson did just beat one of the best teams in the league last week. On the road against Dallas is a different animal for sure, but I think with this Jets defense and skill position players they can hang with anybody. I would love for oddsmakers to keep hanging big numbers like this because of ZW. As long as he can stay turnover free they should be able to hang right in this game. I am waiting to see if a 10 pops but will be happy to bet a 9/9.5 if that doesn’t happen.

1u Steelers +8.5/Panthers +9 teaser- The Steelers got shitpumped Week One but they are back at home against a divisional rival that just had a big win. This is a prime Tomlin spot and this thing should be a one-score game. Meanwhile, I am not a Saints believer and thing that the Panthers are better than their Week One performance indicated. I am a sicko for betting two teams that lost by double digits in Week One but that’s the NFL baby.

I don’t expect any last minute adds as I don’t love the board for Sunday but as always stay tuned in on the Action app and my Twitter for any updates. Cheers.
