As I told you last week, I hate picking Week 1 NFL games.
But, surprisingly, I had a decent week.
I went 8-6-2 against the spread and 10-6 straight up for a decent start to the 2024 NFL season. The unpredictability of the first week is the challenge. The next part is trying to figure out how much of Week 1 is real.
Let’s hope I did a decent job of finding the fakes here as I look to keep my head above .500 after two weeks.
Week 1 wasn’t so bad.
Let’s hope Week 2 is even better.

Pick: Ravens 28, Raiders 16

Pick: Chargers 26, Panthers 9

This game features teams coming off two of the better showings this past week. The Cowboys will be playing their home opener after beating the Browns, while the Saints are on the road for the first time. The Dallas defense was suffocating against the Browns and I think that carries…
