Two weeks in and we’re starting to learn more and more. Some teams remain an enigma (hey, Bengals and Saints) while others, so far, are what I’d thought they’d be (Bills, Dolphins, Eagles and Titans). One thing is clear: Parity rules in the NFL. After two weeks, there are only six 2-0 teams. A whopping 19 teams are 1-1, followed by two 0-1-1 teams and five 0-2 teams.
Underdogs went 8-8 against the spread (ATS) for the second week in a row. Something to keep an eye on this week: road favorites. There are eight of them. So far, they’re 7-8 ATS.
My most confident picks ATS are San Francisco, the L.A. Rams and Philadelphia. Stay away from New Orleans-Carolina and be careful with the Monday night rivalry game.
