Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season wascrazy. Underdogs went 12-4 against the spread, setting a record for the mostunderdogs to cover in Week 1 in NFL history. There were some bad beats, with standing out as the worst of the bunch, and a few other games that came down to the final drive.Overall, Week 1 was a learning experience, per usual. Now, Week 2 of the NFL season is here, and bettors are feeling a lot better about the data they've been given. That will help savvy gamblers find undervalued teams. Checking out the trends that could impact each team will help out, too.MORE: That said, just because things didn't go your way in Week 1 doesn't mean it's time to overreact. Too often, bettors let one game influence them and throw all of their offseason research out the window to chase recent trends. That's a sure-fire way to lose money.Maybe your sleeper team didn't cover, but there's still plenty of time for them to get back on track. And maybe your best bet didn't hit, but that doesn't mean that the team is bad. They might have just had a bad week, like the Packers did in Week 1.Week 2 will Adam Pelech Women Jersey help continue to shape our betting strategy as we learn more about each team. For now, it looks like there are some nice matchups that bettors can take advantage of in Week 2, so we'll rely on trends and some recent results to tell us what those are.Here's a look at Sporting News' best bets for Week 2 of the 2021 NFL season, including picks against the spread, moneyline bets, over/under wagers and some player props.JUMP TO: | | | ( .)Chiefs (-3.5) at RavensThe Chiefs and Ravens both hit speed bumps in their season openers, but only the Chiefs emerged with a win. Patrick Islanders Blank Men Jersey Mahomes helped the Chiefs overcome a 12-point deficit during a second-half rally against the Browns. Meanwhile, the Ravens blew a 14-point lead against the Raiders. It marked the first time they had lost a game in which they had a 14-point lead since 2014.Up until Monday nights overtime lo s to the Raiders, the Ravens had won 98 straight games dating back to 2004 when they had a 14+ point-lead. Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) Those performances aside, the Chiefs hold a significant advantage over the Ravens in recent meetings. John Harbaugh has struggled to beat Andy Reid during his career. He has just a 1-5 record against him in six meetings. That includes four consecutive lo ses to Reid's Chiefs, andin the three games featuring Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson, the Chiefs have won by an average of 7.3 points per game.YearResult2020Chiefs win 34-202019Chiefs win 33-282018Chiefs win 27-242015Chiefs win 34-14Jackson has largely struggled in those contests. He has averagedjust 170.3 pa sing yards Calvin De Haan Jersey in three games against Kansas City, all lo ses. He has done better with his legs running for 196 yards but he has only accounted for four total TDs while committing two turnovers and being sacked nine times. Only the Browns (12) have sacked Jackson more during his career.The Ravens are also banged up in the secondary, and couldn't hold up late against the Raiders. If Jimmy Smith can't play, that could make Patrick Mahomes' job a bit easier. Even if he does play, Marcus Peters' absence will continue to loom large and Mahomes should be able to pick apart the Ravens' defense.The trends say that betting on the Chiefs is a good value at -3.5, so we'll be trusting them even in a tough Baltimore road environment.NFL WEEK 2 PICKS: |Seahawks (-4.5) vs. TitansThis pick is all about trusting the Seattle crowdto rattle Ryan Tannehill's Titans.The Seahawks have one of the best home-field advantages in the NFL. The 12th man tends to show up in full force, and that's part of why Ru sell Wilson has posted a 55-17 record at home during his career.Seattle has gone 44-32-2 against the spread at home since Wilson took over at quarterback in 2012. That's good for a cover percentage of 57.9, which is tied for the third-best in the NFL over the last nine seasons.Needle s to say, the "twelves"will want to welcome back their Jason Chimera Kids Jersey hometown team with a win. The Seahawks can be trusted to win by a touchdown after the Titans struggled to contain Kyler Murray and the Cardinals. Tenne see allowed Arizonato score 38 points. Wilson is the NFL quarterback that is most similar to Murray, so the Tenne see defense could continue to struggle in coverage.NFL POWER RANKINGS:Broncos (-6) at JaguarsA week after underdogs went 12-4, our best bets for the week are three favorites. Go figure, but hopefully, the principle of "regre sion to the mean" comes into play here.Here's something you probably don't know about Teddy Bridgewater: during his career, the Broncos quarterback has posted a as a starter. He has been as steady as they come in terms of delivering covers, and he should have a chance to do that easily against the Jaguars.Jacksonville is a dumpster fire right now, to put it kindly. Urban Meyer's time in Jacksonville is , and his team just lost to the Texans by 16 despite being favored by three points.The Broncos just manhandled the Giants and allowed only seven points before a last-second TD scramble by Daniel Jones cut the lead to 14. The Broncos have a strong roster and should be able to keep Trevor Lawrence and Co. in check. They have a good chance to win this game by double digits, though playing in hot, humid Jacksonville could be a challenge for Denver.WEEK 2 DFS LINEUPS: | | Eaglesmoneyline (+164) vs. 49ersThe Eagles are coming off a dominant win over the Falcons, but that's not the main reason for this pick. It's more about the 49ers' secondary.San Francisco lost its top cornerback, Jason Verrett, to a season-ending ACL tear in Week 1. Verrett was injured with 7:54 left in the fourth quarter and the 49ers leading 41-17. After he left the game, the 49ers were helple s to stop the Lions' pa sing attack. They allowed 1.9 yards per play more with Verrett sidelined and gave up nearly as many points in three drives without Verrett as they did in 11 drives with him.SplitsLions playsLions yardsYards per playLions pointsBefore Verrett's injury592884.917After Verrett's injury291966.816Certainly, that's not a good sign for the 49ers. Their current cornerback depth chart is topped by the likes of Josh Norman, Dre Kirkpatrick, Dontae Johnson, K'Waun Williams, rookie Ambry Thomas and rookie Deommodore Lenoir. That will make it hard for them to contain an improved Eagles receiving corps, especially given that the team also struggled to manage T.J. Hockenson Thomas Greiss Kids Jersey .Jalen Hurts, Dallas Goedert and DeVonta Smith should do enough to keep the Eagles in the game against the 49ers. Their defense will help slow down the 49ers' run game, which is without Raheem Mostert, so that's a positive as well.The Eagles are good enough in the trenches to win this one outright. It
