Week 2 Cardinals vs. Jaguars NFL Predictions

Battle of the Letdowns – Arizona Cardinals vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

If you thought the aerial arsenal of the Arizona Cardinals was one-dimensional, then the one-man band of the Jacksonville Jaguars should lower the bar a little for you. Maurice Jones-Drew had five receptions, but managed to rumble for 97 rushing yards and the Jaguars only touchdown against Indy.

Arizona Cardinal (0-1) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-1)
Sunday, September 20th — Municipal Stadium, Jacksonville — 1:00pm EST
NFL Betting Line: Jax -3 (42)

Week 2 Vikings vs. Lions NFL Predictions

NFL Week 2 – Favre and Peterson will Feast on the Lions this Weekend

Minnesota Vikings (1-0) vs. Detroit Lions (0-1)
Sunday, September 20 th
Ford Field, Detroit — 1:00pm EST
NFL Betting Line: Minnesota -10 (46.5)

The Lions are winless in 2009 so far, and that fact will hold true after Week 2 is in the bag. After allowing Drew Brees to throw for six touchdowns, the Lions are inviting Brett Favre to Ford Field to try and do the same. To make matters worse, the Vikings present a much more dynamic attack, boasting the league’s leading MVP candidate, Adrian Peterson.

Oakland Raiders (0-1) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (1-0)
Sunday, September 20th — Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas — 1:00pm EST
NFL Betting Line: KC -3 (38.5)

In their college days, Michael Bush and Run DMC were two of the best backs in the nation. Now they share a backfield, making Justin Fargas virtually expendable. Bush and DMC combined for 123.0 yards and a score against one of the better 3-4 defenses in the league.

Week 2 Rams vs. Redskins NFL Predictions

NFL Betting Breakdown – St. Louis Rams at Washington Redskins

There was a new regime, new parts and new optimism in St. Louis but all of that excitement quickly died down after one game. The Rams were shutout 28-0 and while the effort was there, they still got smacked around.
Meanwhile, the Redskins also had a discouraging performance as their offense looked disjointed and they couldn’t capitalize on good opportunities that their defense – and the New York Giants – created.

Texans vs. Titans Trends + Week 2 Pick

AFC South Week 2 Pick – Houston Texans vs. Tennessee Titans

The Houston Texans (0-1 SU, 1-0 ATS, 0-1 O/U) are in trouble BetUS NFL sports betting members.

After getting surprised in their season-opening 24-7 home loss to the New York Jets and failing to cover the spread as a 4.5-point favorite in Week 1, Houston gets rewarded by hitting the road this week to take on the Tennessee Titans (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS, 0-1 O/U). The Titans will undoubtedly be in a foul mood after dropping their season-opener, 13-10 to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1 but covering the spread as 6.5-point underdogs.

NFL Injuries – Odds Effect

Week 2 Injury Update

One week down in the NFL and already bettors and linesmakers are trying to figure out how to handle some big name injuries.

The Philadelphia Eagles easily covered the spread last week as a small road in Carolina, as Jake Delhomme continued the “Self-Destruction Tour” he started last year in the playoffs. However, the celebration was muted due to news that QB Donovan McNabb suffered a fractured left rib in the game.

Jim Feist Weekly CFB/NFL Betting Tips

Are Defenses Ahead of the Offenses?

Jim Feist
Jim Feist

You have to remember that in September it’s more likely that defenses are ahead of the offenses in pro and college football. This might not seem the case when you watch Miami and Florida State put on an exciting 38-34 shootout with both teams tallying over 400 yards. However, that’s not the norm, either, something that needs to be assessed carefully when trying to find football picks each week. Think of the NFL opener as the Steelers and Titans battled to a 13-10 low scoring affair in overtime.

Giants vs. Cowboys Trends + Week 2 Pick

NFL Week 2 Game of the Week – NY Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys

The New York Giants (1-0 SU, 0-1 ATS, 1-0 O/U) and the Dallas Cowboys (1-0, SU, 1-0 ATS, 1-0 O/U) will hook up in an early-season NFC East matchup that will almost assuredly be a typical knock-down, drag-out fight to the finish between the longtime division rivals when they meet at Cowboys Stadium at 8 PM ET on Sunday night.

The Giants got their 2009 regular season off to a solid start by beating the Washington Redskins 23-17, but either failed to cover the spread or saw the game play out as a Push as either, 6.5 or 6-point home favorites, depending on which line NFL bettors received. The game’s 40 total points played Over the 37-point O/U total.

NFL Week 2 SNF Preview: Giants vs. Cowboys

New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys officially open the doors to their new billion-dollar stadium Sunday night. And no team would love to spoil that celebration more than the New York Giants. These two hated NFC East rivals collide in prime time with the Cowboys set as 3-point home favorites.

There will be extra pressure on Dallas to christen Cowboys Stadium with a win in the home opener. Owner Jerry Jones, who had to dig deep into his own pockets to finish his vision for the new stadium, even put an importance on winning games at home in the preseason. He is aiming to set the NFL’s regular season single-game attendance record and is expecting close to 105,000 fans for Sunday night’s contest.

NFL Week 2 Preview: Steelers vs. Bears

Pittsburgh Steelers at Chicago Bears

Jay Cutler’s regular season debut with the Chicago Bears couldn’t have gone worse. The newly-acquired quarterback threw four interceptions, including one to snuff out the Bears’ fourth-quarter comeback, in a 21-15 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night.

Now Cutler faces the most stout defense in the NFL this weekend. Chicago hosts the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers at Soldier Field on Sunday afternoon. Bookmaker.com Oddsmakers have tagged the Bears as 3-point underdogs.
