NFL week 2 matchups bring in a fresh new round of sports betting.  Get you handicaps, and picks of the week ready because it’s going to be a tough week. Looking at the point spreads, there are 3 games which pop out and really catch my attention for their large spreads.  The Green Bay Packers are favored by 13.5 against the Buffalo Bills, the Dallas Cowboys are favored by 9 over Chicago, and the San Diego Chargers are favored by 8 over the Jacksonville Jaguars. With such large spreads look for opportunities to capitalize.

There is a lot to talk about from week one, whose bets won, and whose bets lost, which teams choked, and which teams dominated, good calls and bad. First of all 12 2009 playoff teams lost in week 1. The Chiefs, and Redskins didn’t suck, and Pete Carroll won his first NFL game with Seattle. 11/16 of week ones matchups were decided by a td or less. Let’s hope week 2 is just as exciting!

Let’s talk about those large spread matchups. Who do you bet in your sports betting system when week 1 was soo unpredictable? Take a look at Green Bay coming off of a week 1 win where Aaron Rodgers looked impressive. The NFL could see Rodgers go for 400+ yards of passing this week against a poor Bills team. The keys for the Bills revolve around containing third down conversions, and containing the Rodgers clock management. Look to the Bills defense as a crucial key to this match. I can’t see the Bills winning.

The Next bet to place is a tough on. Betting on the Dallas Cowboys to cover the spread is a long shot. Dallas is coming off of a week 1 loss thanks to poor decisions made by Wade Phillips and a stupid off sides from Dallas’ o line. Alex Barron the player called for that penalty is the most penalized player in the NFL since 2005. Dallas made a lot of mistakes, if they can correct these errors. They could see themselves beating the Bears. Its not going to be easy the Bears are sitting on top of the NFC North standings, and with this momentum going into game 2 its hard to slow that role.

The last showdown for your betting systems includes my San Diego Chargers against the Jacksonville Jaguars. SD is coming off of a week 1 loss to Kansas City, a loss that is not to be taken too harshly. In other words, Philip Rivers did what he was supposed to and was on his game. It was the special teams of SD that really shot themselves in the foot. I would like to see SD come back and beat the Jaguars. Jacksonville is coming off a down to the wire first victory over a powerful Denver team. Look to see key players step up for SD, in reality if they are going to win, they have to utilize Ryan Mathews and contain Drew. The running game will make or break this game. If Mathews can open up the ground game, Rivers will pass for another 280+ yard game!
