NFL Week 2 Betting Tips
Miami to Beat New England
Miami to Beat New England @ 4/5
Channel 5 have made a strange choice to feature two struggling franchises but our pick is for the Dolphins to put last week’s dismal opening display behind them to see off the Patriots.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw two interceptions and was sacked three times as Miami were crushed 33-8 by the Indianapolis Colts in a performance which featured very few redeeming factors.
What Does The Future Hold for Dolphins Head Coach Mike McDaniel?
However, this team’s offence, led by lightning quick wide receiver Tyreek Hill, can be explosive when on song and last year’s 8-9 record featured two wins over New England, including a 34-15 drubbing at Hard Rock Stadium.
The Patriots also suffered a disappointing start after falling 20-13 to the Las Vegas Raiders in front of their own fans and that defeat was largely due to signal caller Drake Maye’s struggles.
Detroit -6.5 vs Chicago
Detroit -6.5 Points to Beat Chicago @ 20/21
The Lions failed to roar when going down 27-13 in Green Bay first up but we’re prepared to forgive that defeat, especially as the Packers were fired up by the capture of Micah Parsons.
Detroit powered to a 15-2 record last term thanks to elite playmaker Jared Goff and his high-scoring offence, which is perfectly equipped to run amok against lesser opponents, as they did win romping to a 34-17 triumph over the Bears at Soldier Field just before Christmas.
Are Detroit Still True NFC Contenders?
Chicago made some progress last season but started out this term with a defeat against Minnesota, losing out 27-24 despite leading 17-6 heading into the final quarter.
They remain a work in progress and will face a Lions outfit looking to prove a point after the Bears poached offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to be their new head coach.
Philadelphia to Win at Kansas City
Philadelphia to Win at Kansas City @ 4/5
Arrowhead Stadium will stage an early rematch of last season’s Super Bowl and we’re going for a repeat rather than revenge.
The Eagles dominated the Chiefs in New Orleans back in February, with only a late flurry of points for Kansas City making the 40-22 scoreline appear more respectable.
Can the Eagles Repeat Their Super Bowl Win Over KC in Week 2?
Philadelphia had to overcome a few shaky moments to begin the defence of their title with a 24-20 defeat of Dallas, but big guns Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley were firing well enough to get them out of trouble.
Kansas City kicked off with a 27-21 loss to the Chargers in Brazil and their offence will be without one of their major weapons after wide receiver Xavier Worthy suffered a shoulder injury, so they have it all to prove here.
