Ryan Fitzpatrick threw four touchdown passes against Kansas City in the hostile environment of Arrowhead Stadium last week. He now has 3,208 passing yards and 27 touchdowns over his last 14 games dating back to 2010. Chan Gailey really can work magic with quarterbacks.<\/p>\n<p>Now consider that the Raiders allowed 300-plus passing yards against Kyle Orton and a woeful Broncos offense last week. Their secondary just isn\u2019t the same without Nnamdi Asomugha.<\/p>\n<p>Oakland should score plenty as well. Darren McFadden looked dangerous as ever in the running game last week and the Bills\u2019 run defense is awful. Even in a 41-7 win last week, they allowed 100-plus yards.<\/p>\n<p>The OVER will make for a strong play this week. Eventually, though, I believe the Raiders will fall behind and be forced to pass. Once they have to rely on Jason Campbell, the Bills should pull away.<\/p>\n<p>Pick: Bills -3.5<\/p>\n<h3>Baltimore Ravens @ Tennessee Titans<\/h3>\n<p>Sunday, September 18, 1:00 p.m. ET<br \/>\nNFL betting favorite: Ravens -5.5<\/p>\n<p>The Ravens made Pittsburgh look like Tennessee last week. So who will they make Tennessee look like this week? An Arena League team?<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore forced endless turnovers out of Ben Roethlisberger last week. If they can get to him, it\u2019s scary to wonder what they\u2019ll do to old, statuesque Matt Hasselbeck. The Titans should have a stretcher ready.<\/p>\n<p>Pick: Ravens -5.5<\/p>\n<h3>San Diego Chargers @ New England Patriots<\/h3>\n<p>Sunday, September 18, 4:15 p.m. ET<br \/>\nNFL betting favorite: Patriots -7<\/p>\n<p>Tom Brady\u2019s glorious 522-yard passing effort has inflated this spread. Don\u2019t forget that (a) New England let Chad Henne top 400 passing yards and faces Philip Rivers this week and (b) the Chargers had the NFL\u2019s top-ranked pass defense last year and held the Vikings to 28 passing yards last week. Twenty-eight!  [soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>I think New England can pull off a win but this feels more like a last-second-field-goal type of game to me.<\/p>\n<p>Pick: Chargers +7<\/p>\n<h3>Philadelphia Eagles @ Atlanta Falcons<\/h3>\n<p>Sunday, September 18, 8:20 p.m. ET<br \/>\nNFL betting favorite: Falcons -2.5<\/p>\n<p>The Philadelphia Eagles\u2019 defense is more aggressive than Chicago\u2019s \u2013 but could that play into Matt Ryan\u2019s hands this week? He struggled against the Tampa 2 but he may punish the Eagles with some big plays if and when they rush him.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Turner looked good for Atlanta in Week 1, rushing for 100 yards on 10 carries, and the Eagles struggled to stop the run against the Rams last week.<\/p>\n<p>Philly should do its share of scoring at against Atlanta\u2019s ho-hum defense on Sunday night, too. But the Atlanta faithful should be absolutely amped up with Michael Vick returning to town. His teammates may have trouble hearing him at the line of scrimmage.<\/p>\n<p>This NFC battle should be close, possibly decided by less than a touchdown, but the Falcons should prevail. Facing an 0-2 start, they\u2019ll treat the Sunday nighter like a playoff game. And, let\u2019s not forget, Matty Ice is 20-2 all-time in the regular season at the Georgia Dome.<\/p>\n<p>Pick: Falcons -2.5<\/p>\n<p>This is the Week 2 series of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/respsportscapping.php?free_picks\/free\/nfl\/\"><strong>free NFL Pick<\/strong><\/a> articles by our experts here at CappersPicks.com.
