2015 NFL Week 2 Picks<\/b><\/h2>\nThursday, September 17<\/strong><\/h3>\nDenver Broncos (+3) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (8:25 PM ET)<\/b><\/h3>\n
[sc:NFL240banner ]Both Denver and Kansas City are coming off of close wins, but strangely, the Chiefs showed more life on offense with their 27-20 win in Houston than the Broncos did with their 19-13 victory at home over the Ravens. And with Kansas City playing in Arrowhead for the first time this season, expect tight end Travis Kelce (106 yards, 2 TDs) to put on another show, this time in front of the home crowd.<\/p>\n
Writer\u2019s Prediction:<\/strong> Kansas City with a close win over its bitter division rivals, 24-21.<\/p>\nSunday, September 20<\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"Adrian](\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Vikings-Peterson.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nDetroit Lions (+3) vs. Minnesota Vikings (1:00 PM ET)<\/b><\/h3>\n
On the flipside, both Detroit and Minnesota are reeling from their respective Week 1 losses on the road. And once again, we\u2019ll side with the home team on this. Vikings quarterback Adrian Peterson should bounce back from a disappointing 39-yard outing in his first game back in over a year against a Lions defense that gave up 4.2 yards per carry versus a San Diego team that\u2019s not known for its running game in Week 1.<\/p>\n
Writer\u2019s Prediction: <\/strong>Minnesota squeaks by, 19-17.<\/b><\/p>\nArizona Cardinals (-2.5) vs. Chicago Bears (1:00 PM ET)<\/b><\/h3>\n
Easy call here. The Cardinals saw the return of Carson Palmer\u2019s form (306 yards, 3TDs) and held Drew Brees and the Saints to just 19 points this past Sunday. Meanwhile, the Bears couldn\u2019t contain Aaron Rodgers\u2019 assault in spite of Matt Forte\u2019s 141 yards on the ground. Forte\u2019s outlook against the Cards\u2019 daunting D-line looks very bleak as well.<\/p>\n
Writer\u2019s Prediction: <\/strong>Arizona wins convincingly, 34-20.<\/b><\/p>\nTennessee Titans (-1) vs. Cleveland Browns (1:00 PM ET)<\/b><\/h3>\n
Marcus Mariota proved to be more pro-ready than Jameis Winston when he torched Tampa Bay for 209 yards and four touchdowns in Week 1. Mariota will likely have another walk in the park against the stumbling Browns, who cannot catch a break after seeing starting quarterback Josh McCown bow out of the Browns\u2019 fame against the Jets due to a concussion, and with Johnny Manziel not finding any rhythm at all.<\/p>\n
Writer\u2019s Prediction:<\/strong> Tennessee make quick work of Cleveland, 27-10.<\/b><\/p>\nNew England Patriots (-1.5) vs. Buffalo Bills (1:00 PM ET)<\/b><\/h3>\n
The logical move here would be to go with the Pats, winners of six of the last seven meetings against the Bills. However, Buffalo had the more impressive win in Week 1 with the 27-14 upset over the Colts behind a stifling defense that gave Andrew Luck quite a fit, which doesn\u2019t bode well for Tom Brady.<\/p>\n
Writer\u2019s Prediction:<\/strong> Buffalo edges past New England, 19-17.<\/b><\/p>\nHouston Texans (+3) vs. Carolina Panthers (1:00 PM ET)<\/b><\/h3>\n
Continuing with the trend of great defenses, the Texans will likely be able to contain a Panthers offense without a dependable receiving corps. Carolina could also be playing without stud linebacker Luke Keuchly, which could give whoever starts for Houston at QB a much better performance than the one Brian Hoyer had against the Chiefs.<\/p>\n
Writer\u2019s Prediction: <\/strong>Houston wins a low-scoring affair, 14-9.<\/b><\/p>\n![\"49ers](\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/49ers-Hyde-600x337.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nSan Francisco 49ers (+6) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (1:00 PM ET)<\/b><\/h3>\n
Were you just as shocked as we were when the 49ers kept Adrian Peterson and the Vikings in check on Monday night? San Francisco\u2019s early season celebration would likely come to a screeching end, though, as the Steelers and their high-octane offense will look to shred the Niners\u2019 D apart, especially when DeAngelo Williams (127 rushing yards, one TD) played well against the Pats in place of suspended Le\u2019Veon Bell.<\/p>\n
Writer\u2019s Prediction:<\/strong> Pittsburgh with an easy 37-20 win.<\/p>\nSan Diego Chargers (+3) vs. Cincinnati Bengals (1:00 PM ET)<\/b><\/h3>\n
Although the Chargers had to rally from an 18-point deficit for the win this past Sunday, the team also faced a much tougher opponent in the Lions than the Bengals did in Week 1 (Cincy defeated the lowly Raiders). It\u2019s really a toss-up between these two offensive powerhouses, but we\u2019ll side with Philip Rivers\u2019 arm over Andy Dalton\u2019s for now.<\/p>\n
Writer\u2019s Prediction:<\/strong> San Diego hangs on for a 31-28 win.<\/b><\/p>\nSt. Louis Rams (-3.5) vs. Washington Redskins (1:00 PM ET)<\/b><\/h3>\n
Here\u2019s a no-brainer. The Rams have all the momentum in the world right now after defeating the Seahawks in overtime. Meanwhile, the Redskins had to rely on a punt return for the team\u2019s only touchdown this past weekend. Washington will be lucky to put up double-digits against St. Louis\u2019 formidable front seven.<\/p>\n
Writer\u2019s Prediction:<\/strong> St. Louis cruises to a 24-9 victory.<\/b><\/p>\nAtlanta Falcons (+3) vs. New York Giants (1:00 PM ET)<\/b><\/h3>\n
The Falcons defense was bent by the Eagles, but ultimately did not break in the end. The exact opposite happened to the Giants, though, as Eli Manning (193 yards and no touchdowns) and his team couldn\u2019t hold on to their lead with less than two minutes left in the game against Dallas. Matt Ryan (298 yards for a pair of TDs) will likely carve up the Giants secondary just like Romo did Monday night.<\/p>\n
Writer\u2019s Prediction:<\/strong> Atlanta prevails, 30-21.<\/p>\nTampa Bay Buccaneers (+10) vs. New Orleans Saints (1:00 PM ET)<\/b><\/h3>\n
Yes, that\u2019s a double-digit spread that the Bucs are facing right now, and rightfully so. Jameis Winston was rudely welcomed to the big leagues by the Titans of all teams. On the other hand, Drew Brees (355 yards) prove to still be unstoppable in the air, even as the Saints lost to Arizona on the road. Hey Drew, do we really need to bring up Mariota\u2019s four TDs against the Bucs again just for you?<\/p>\n
Writer\u2019s Prediction:<\/strong> New Orleans with a 38-10 blowout.<\/b><\/p>\n![\"Ravens](\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Ravens-Flacco-2-600x337.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nBaltimore Ravens (-6.5) vs. Oakland Raiders (4:05 PM ET)<\/b><\/h3>\n
With both the Ravens and the Raiders playing poorly in Week 1, we can conclude that their upcoming matchup against one another will be a rather low-scoring affair. Oakland quarterback Derek Carr is not healthy, while Baltimore\u2019s Joe Flacco is. We\u2019re also not counting on the Ravens to put up less than 200 yards of total offense like they did this past weekend against Denver.<\/p>\n
Writer\u2019s Prediction:<\/strong> Baltimore wins with relative ease, 20-13.<\/b><\/p>\nMiami Dolphins (-6.5) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (4:05 PM ET)<\/b><\/h3>\n
You can sense that the Dolphins are due for a resounding win against the meager Jaguars this coming Sunday after defeating Washington by just seven points. Meanwhile, Jacksonville are still praying for Blake Bortles to snap out of his poor form, but that won\u2019t likely come this week against Ndamukong Suh and the \u2018Fins\u2019 intimidating defense.<\/p>\n
Writer\u2019s Prediction: <\/strong>Miami\u2019s offense comes to life, 33-14.<\/p>\nDallas Cowboys (+5.5) vs. Philadelphia Eagles (4:25 PM ET)<\/b><\/h3>\n
Here come the fireworks! Chip Kelly and the Eagles\u2019 fast-paced offense didn\u2019t get it going until late in the Monday night game against the Falcons, which was too little, too late for the team to make a comeback. And while the Cowboys pulled-off an impressive 18-point comeback over the Giants to tally their first \u2018W\u2019 of the season, Philly\u2019s offense is at its best at home, where they have failed to score less than 20 points just once for the past ten games.<\/p>\n
Writer\u2019s Prediction: <\/strong>Philadelphia wins the shootout, 38-33.<\/b><\/p>\nSeattle Seahawks (+3.5) vs. Green Bay Packers (8:30 PM ET)<\/b><\/h3>\n
Don\u2019t make plans this Sunday night, as the Seahawks and Packers square off in Lambeau. Seattle doesn\u2019t seem to be in sync yet judging from their overtime loss to the Rams, while Green Bay\u2019s life after Jordy Nelson\u2019s injury is still passing with flying colors. Aaron Rodgers needed just 189 yards against the Bears on Sunday to win the game, which means that he\u2019ll have to go nuts with his passes in Lambeau to dispatch the pesky Seahawks.<\/p>\n
Writer\u2019s Prediction:<\/strong> Green Bay gets the better of Seattle, 24-20.<\/b><\/p>\nMonday, September 21<\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"Colts](\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Colts-Gore-600x471.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nNew York Jets (+7) vs. Indianapolis Colts (8:30 PM ET)<\/b><\/h3>\n
The Jets may have won their opener against the Browns, but those were the Browns. The Colts lost to the Bills, but they were on the road against an evidently much-improved Buffalo squad. Will Andrew Luck have another rough time dissecting another defense that looks good on paper? We beg to differ, as Indy is 8-1 in its last nine games in Lucas Oil Stadium, while New York has lost six of its last eight games on the road.<\/p>\n
Writer\u2019s Prediction:<\/strong> Indianapolis gets their season back on track, 33-19.<\/b><\/p>\nCreate a betting account now<\/a> to catch up an all the excitement and action in the NFL.<\/p>\n
