*2 Star Free Play on Seattle* The Seahawks defense is top notch, and I think they'll give Arizona all sorts of trouble here. Drew Lock is a solid backup quarterback, and I'm not convinced the Cardinals defense is as good as they looked in week one.

This is a really big reaction by the market, and I believe it is an overreaction. Arizona is still one of the weaker rosters in the NFL. Seattle has a top two or three defense in the NFL.

Let's lay the short price with Seattle.

Jack's Free Pick Sunday: New Orleans Saints +9

The spot is not great with the Saints off an OT loss to the Lions.  But I think the spot is being factored into this line too much, and the fact that the Ravens are down several key players isn't being factored in enough.  Thus I'll take the +9 on the Saints in a game that I fully expect to go down to the wire.

It would be much tougher to bounce back from an OT game on a short week like the Lions were on Thursday.  That was a big reason I faded the Lions and backed the Bills.  But the Saints have had three extra days to recover here.  It was Week 1, so the Saints know they have their whole season ahead of them.  They will have no problem getting back up off the mat to face the Ravens this week.

I would argue the Saints outplayed the Lions and really deserved to win that game when you look at the box score.  They outgained the Lions 469 to 369, or by 100 yards.  Tyler Shough lived up to all the praise he got all offseason after his big finish last year.  He threw for 410 yards and 3 TD against the Lions, and keep in mind his receivers had several key drops in the first half of it would have been more.

The Saints are actually pretty healthy for this game too.  They get Cam Jordan back after he sat out against the Lions last week.  Chris Olave is the only key player on offense on the injury report, and I expect him to play after he kept coming back last week to finish with 10 receptions for 182 yards.  DE Chase Young is the only key player questionable defensively.

No question the Ravens were impressive in their 41-23 win at Indianapolis in the opener.  What they did in the first half when they were fully healthy was mighty impressive.  They outscored the Colts 31-13 in the first half with Zay Flowers going off for 5 receptions for 150 yards and a TD.  At full strength, the Ravens may very well be the best team in the NFL this season.

But Flowers left the game in the 2nd quarter with a hamstring injury and has already been ruled out.  Fellow starting WR Ja'Kobi Lane suffered a fractured wrist in the win and has gone on IR.  LT Ronnie Stanley and LG John Simpson are both questionable.  The offense won't be nearly as dynamic without Flowers, and this is a solid New Orleans defense that can hold Baltimore in check.

The injuries are piling up on defense for the Ravens, too.  They will be without DT Nnamdi Madubuike, LB Teddye Buchanan and CB T.J. Tampa who are all starters.  Now their prized signing in free agency in LB Trey Hendrickson is dealing with a finger injury, though I would expect him to go.

I also think the Ravens benefited from having new schemes with a new head coach in Jesse Minter up against Indianapolis.  Minter and this Ravens defense knew what to expect from a Shane Steichen offense.  They also caught Daniel Jones in his first game back from injury and you could tell he was hesitant to run,  Without his legs, Jones is one of the worst QB's in the NFL.

They blitzed the Colts in the 1H and their win and cover has them overvalued this week.  It will be much tougher sledding against a healthy Saints team with all the injuries the Ravens are dealing with now.  Bet the Saints Sunday.

Ricky's 1* play on HOU.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- The Bengals are 4-6 in their last 10 games.

- The Texans are 8-2 in the last 10 head to head meetings.

- The Texans are 8-2 in their last 10 games.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

(Free Play Under) The Packers and Jets play here in a game that should have some weather to slow things down a bit. There is rain in the forecast and I would expect the play calling to be more conservative than normal.

The Packers gave up a lot of points last week, but their defense was excellent. It was turnovers that gave Minnesota free points. The Jets defense was battling away in week one too.

Bet the under.

Sunday's Free NFL Pick

PLAY ON: Saints/Ravens OVER 45

Unless injured left guard Landon Dickerson is worth seven points on the betting line, I don't understand why the Eagles are only a touchdown favorite against the Titans?

Dickerson is worth nothing on the betting line and the Eagles are light years ahead of the Titans. That's the bottom line. I am not going to overthink this. I'm just going to lay the points.

I'm not sure which is the bigger gap in favor of the Eagles, their skill position talent, or their considerable edges in the offensive and defensive lines.

What was so alarming about the Titans' 23-10 loss to the underdog Jets at home last week wasn't just the defeat, but how poorly they looked. Jets quarterback Geno Smith was only hit once on 24 pass attempts. Tennessee could only manage 195 yards of total offense and 11 first downs.

Sometimes you can put too much stock in one game. That's not the case here with the Titans. They haven't fixed their wretched offensive line and now their defense seems to be regressing. Cam Ward didn't have a good rookie season last year, didn't look good in preseason and he looked terrible in Week One.

The Dolphins just may have a serious challenger for the worst record this season that being the Titans.

It is an insult to the Eagles that the point spread is this low. (Editor's note: Stephen Nover had a winning opening NFL week looking to beat the NFL for the 29th time in 34 seasons. Stephen has three premium Sunday day plays, including his Total of the month, in addition to this free selection.)

1* Free Pick on Raiders +7

The Chargers opened as double-digit home favorites against Arizona last week and lost 26-14.

Now the market is asking them to win by more than a touchdown against a better opponent.

That's a price I'll take.

Both teams have played 1 game this season, so this is about the matchup and the number, not streaks.

And the Week 1 tape favors Vegas.

The Raiders posted 5 sacks against Miami, tied for the NFL lead, with Kwity Paye getting 2 and Maxx Crosby adding 1.5.

Justin Herbert was sacked 3 times by Arizona and threw a pick.

That pass rush against that protection is the core of this play.

Herbert's weapons are thinning out too.

Ladd McConkey is questionable with a rib injury, and KeAndre Lambert-Smith landed on injured reserve.

If McConkey sits or plays limited, this offense runs through Quentin Johnston, who caught 2 of 6 targets last week.

On the other side, Ashton Jeanty went 23 for 102 on the ground and added 6 catches for 45 yards and 2 touchdowns.

He controls tempo and keeps this game short.

The fair knock on Vegas is Kirk Cousins.

Two interceptions and 160 passing yards in Week 1 is real, and he'll give one away here too.

But I don't need Cousins to win the game.

I need Jeanty and that front seven to keep it inside a touchdown, and the Raiders held Miami to 13 points and 259 total yards doing exactly that.

Getting the full 7 covers the most common margin in football.

That's line value.

I like the Raiders

1* NFL - Steelers/Patriots FREE PICK on Patriots -5

Dave's Sunday Free Play:

1* on Seahawks/Cardinals OVER 40.5

The Key: The Seahawks played on opening night as defending Super Bowl champs.  They have now had 10 days to get ready for the Arizona Cardinals.  Getting that extra time is huge for this Seattle offense to prepare Drew Lock to be their starting QB.  Offensive coordinator Brian Fleury will be able to put in more plays that better suit his skill set.  I think this total has been adjusted down too much with Lock starting instead of Darnold.  Arizona already has a great offense with an offensive-minded coach in Mike LaFleur.  Jacoby Brissett is better than he gets credit for and is loaded with playmakers around him.  The Cardinals put up 26 points and 393 yards against the Chargers in Week 1.  Their defense held the Chargers in check, but they benefited from an injury to WR Ladd McConkey and a banged up Chargers O-Line.  I still think this is going to be one of the worst defenses in the NFL as the season plays out like they were last season.  The Seahawks and Cardinals have combined for at least 41 points in 8 of their last 12 matchups.  All 6 matchups in Arizona saw 41 or more combined points during this stretch.  Take the OVER.

1* FREE INFO PLAY Club Atlético Colón -168

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Carolina Panthers -2

The Atlanta Falcons are up against it with Cooper Rush as their starting QB.  He's easily the worst QB in the NFL currently starting this week.  Rush went 12-of-22 for 143 yards with one touchdown and two INT's.  He literally just checked the ball down to Bijan Robinson almost every time he passed, and when he didn't he got in trouble.  Robinson had 8 receptions for 90 yards and a score.  There were only four receptions from other receivers, and none of them even went to TE Kyle Pitts.  This offense is so limited with Rush and easy to stop.  The Panthers go from facing arguably the best offense in the NFL in the Bears to arguably the worst offense in their current state in the Falcons.  This Carolina defense is going to look much better this week.  The Panthers are loaded on offense and gashed the Bears for 478 yards including 353 passing.  They are fully healthy on offense right now.  The Falcons have other injury concerns outside QB with RG Chris Lindstrom and CB AJ Terrell questionable, plus CB Billy Bowman out.  They were already without LB James Pearce and LB Jalon Walker to severely limit their pass rush.  The Panthers are 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last three meetings with the Falcons so they already have their number.  Give me the Panthers.

The NFL Comp play for Sunday is on Atlanta plus the points at 1 eastern. The Falcons have Rush starting and should be much better on offense with him this week as opposed to last week in Pittsburgh. They take on a Carolina team that allowed 50+ point last week in a loss to Chicago. Rob notes that week 2 road favorites are 0-6 to the spread long term off a home dog loss. The Falcons will likely control the ball behind a strong run game and they do have double revenge especially for the 30-0 loss here last season. Look for the Falcons to get the cover. GL Rob V-

1* Free Pick on Bucs -7½ -110

Tennessee. Tennessee was held to just 195 yards and 10 points in week 1, as rookie QB Cam Ward struggled against pressure and averaged 4.4 yards per attempt. Philadelphia did not blitz often but still had one of the best pressure rates in Week 1.

On the other side of the ball, Tennessee allowed 142 yards on the ground to RBs. Philadelphia should be able to attack this weakness with Saquon Barkley and what should be a better offensive line than last season.

If Philadelphia dominates up front and forces Ward into obvious passing downs, they should win this game easily.

Browns (+) over Buccaneers - Bot of these clubs took it on the chin last week and only one is expected to rebound and actually have a shot at the post-season. So, it will becomes especially difficult for the Buccaneers if they go 0-2 and the pressure is already on. Take CLEVELAND!

Fifty and a half in Arlington is the number I want you holding. Not because both defenses are fake. Because 50.5 is the number the market hung on a series that just lived 53, 66, 60, 48 and 55.

You are not fading defense. You are fading a 50.5 that is priced like this rivalry forgot how it scores. Cowboys lead it 81-49-2. That is the side of the ledger. The total is the other page. Last six meetings: 30-23, 44-22, 23-19, 34-26, 38-10, 45-10. Combined 53, 66, 42, 60, 48, 55. Five of six cashed a 50. Last two in this building: 44-22 and 23-19. One smash, one under on a 43.5. Public money will hammer the under because Week 1 was 24-22 and 28-20 and “NFC East always stalls in September.” That is how 50.5 gets to the window looking fat instead of the number that does not match Christmas, October, Thanksgiving, and January in this series.

Do not buy this down to 49.5 and pay extra juice to sleep better. The 50.5 is the reason I am writing it. Sit on your hands. Let the first quarter look like October in Dallas. If it is 14-10 at the half, the over is already doing its job.

Sunday 4:25. Dallas -4.5. Washington 0-1 after 24-22 in Philadelphia. Dallas 0-1 after 28-20 to the Giants. Combined 46 and 48 last week. That is not this series. This series in the last two years has been 66 and 53 and 60. Cowboys 3,150 points all-time in the rivalry, Washington 2,582. The building does not keep these games in the 30s unless somebody forgets to throw it.

Bet the over 50.5 in Commanders–Cowboys games.
Last 6 meetings: 53, 66, 42, 60, 48, 55. Five of six cashed 50. Average 54.0. (+3.6 units, ROI=54.5%)

Bet the over when these two meet in Dallas and the number is 50 or higher.
Last meeting here: 44-22. Posted 55.5 and still went over. (+1.0 units, ROI=90.9%)

Bet overs in this series when five of the last six already cleared 47.
38-10 was the “low” one and it still cashed 47. (+4.0 units, ROI=60.6%)

My selection is on the 'under' between Minnesota and Chicago at 1 pm et on Sunday.

Scoring was up around the league last Sunday and nowhere was that more pronounced than in Carolina where the Bears put up nearly 60 points in a wild contest. Chicago head coach Ben Johnson said prior to the start of the regular season that he didn't just want his team's offense to be good this year, but record-setting. So far, so good. I do think the Bears will face a lot more resistance this week as they take on Brian Flores' Vikings defense. Minnesota got off to a slow start against Green Bay but ultimately took over proceedings in the fourth quarter to pull away for a season-opening victory. With that being said, it did lose QB Kyler Murray to a scary-looking concussion in that game, pressing Carson Wentz into action. I don't think the Vikes will want any part of a shootout with this loaded Bears offense on Sunday. In this divisional matchup, I simply feel this total is too high as an overreaction to last week's results. Take the under (8*).

#256 ASA FREE PLAY ON New England Patriots -5 over Pittsburgh Steelers, Sunday at 1 PM ET - We just don’t see the Steelers putting up enough points in this to cover game with an offense that just averaged 4.1 Yards Per Play last week against the Falcons. Those numbers came against an inferior Falcons defense a week ago and now they are facing a superior Pats defense. The Steelers got a TD from their defense and JJ Watt with an INT return and had their lone offensive TD set up by an interception inside the 35-yard line. Pittsburgh managed just 58 total yards rushing and 206 passing. New England is coming off their overseas loss to the Seahawks but it wasn’t because of their defense. The Pats offense had 3 TO’s and produced just 277 total yards of O on 4.1Y.P.P.L. The Pats defense played extremely well by holding the Seahawks (albeit w/o Darnold) to 97 yards rushing and 188 passing and 13-points. That same Hawks offense that averaged 29.2PPG a year ago. Last year when these same two teams met the Steelers managed 203 total yards at 4.1Y.P.P.L. and their last TD came with 2:16 left in the game. The Patriots offense will be much better this week at home and will bounce back after that horrible showing against a Seahawks defense which might be the best in the league. NE was 2-0 SU off a loss a year ago and they won those games by an average of +13PPG. Lay it here with the Patriots.

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the road underdog in this matchup. The Bengals (1-0) enter Week 2 riding strong momentum after earning a hard-fought 33-27 victory over Tampa Bay in their season opener. That offensive surge aligns well with Joe Burrow operating behind an improved offensive line, giving Cincinnati's high-powered passing attack the time needed to stretch the field against a vulnerable Houston secondary.

The Texans (0-1) are back home at NRG Stadium looking to bounce back after a tough 36-31 opening loss to Buffalo. While C.J. Stroud and the Houston offense can put up points in a hurry, their defense surrendered far too many explosive plays through the air in Week 1. Getting points on the road with a explosive Cincinnati offense catching a hungry Houston defense creates a prime situation for the road dog to keep this game tight or win outright.

This is a FREE PLAY on the BENGALS ATS!

Panthers vs. Falcons: Under 44 is the Play

Two 0-1 NFC South teams meet in Week 2, but they got there in very different ways — one defense just allowed 59 points, the other team doesn't have a starting quarterback.

The line has flipped. Atlanta opened as the favorite, and it's easy to see why: the Falcons QB situation. Michael Penix has already been ruled out, and I'd be shocked if Tua Tagovailoa plays either. Cooper Rush started Week 1 and looked overmatched — he's also dealing with back spasms. Jack Strand is next man up, and I think Atlanta should go with him. This offense has real weapons; it just needs someone who can get them the ball. Rush proved Week 1 that he can't. For that reason, I'm waiting on the spread until Atlanta names a starter — whoever it is should move this line back toward Carolina.

Carolina's offense actually looked legit last week. Bryce Young had a big day throwing to Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker, pushing the ball downfield against a bad Bears defense. But that came with a massive cost: this was the worst defensive showing in Panthers franchise history. Chicago converted 10 of 14 first downs, ran for 291 yards, and put up 59 points on Carolina in a 59-37 shootout. Scoring 37 wins most games — it didn't here. Bijan Robinson is going to be a serious problem for this defense; he went for 21 carries/83 yards and added 8 catches for 90 yards and a score last week.

Atlanta's defense, meanwhile, was fine. They held Pittsburgh to 264 total yards (58 rushing), got 4 sacks, and kept the Steelers to 3-of-13 on third down. Carolina is also 0-9 straight-up and against the spread as a favorite — a trend worth remembering here.

So: we're on Atlanta, but we wait for the QB news.

The Under is where I have real conviction. As bad as Carolina's defense looked, they're not facing Caleb Williams this week — whoever starts for Atlanta is going to struggle to move the ball. I'm also not a believer in Bryce Young sustaining that kind of production, and Atlanta's defense should be strong at home.

One more angle: I dug up a trend from Totals Tipsheet — same-division games where the road team is favored and the total is 39 or higher have gone 28-46 to the Under all-time (65%), and 1-9 (90%) over the last five years.

Play: Panthers vs. Falcons Under 44 (-110)

Let's cash some tickets!

For one of my top free picks here for Sunday in the NFL I am looking at the Washington Commanders at the Dallas Cowboys. Both teams off a loss but the Commanders were in Philadelphia playing the best team in the NFC East the Eagles. Cowboys couldn’t get it done in New York huge difference. Washington should be able to keep this one within a field goal. Washington has the better defense and I think this team can run the ball against Dallas.

Play on the Washington Commanders plus the points rotation #271
