NFL Odds and Free Picks: Week 2

After the Saints had a 32 point game in week one, and Drew Brees seemed like the QB that his salary dictates he should be, they still came out without the win. Robert Griffin is good! Now the Saints sure know it. However, New Orleans is always a good bet. Carolina had a disappointing opening game, and it seems like they may have a disappointing season. Cam Newton had a ton of yards but threw two interceptions. Both teams are looking for brighter future this week. In contrast, the Lions and 49s both had strong performances in their season openers. Each of these teams wants to continue their success and move onto week three with a perfect season as well. This should be a fun week for online betting sites!

Game 1: New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers

Get the online bookie ready, this game should be any easy win for the Saints. Like I said, Drew Brees and the Saints Offence was in fine form in their first game.

Brees threw for over 300 yards and 3 touchdowns. Lance Moore and Jimmy Graham were great in week one as well. This was expected. All in all, the Saints really need to work on their defence, but they’ll have a couple weeks to do it, as these Panthers likely won’t test it too much. This is no guarantee though. Newton and Steve Smith have great chemistry overflowing from last season, and you never know when they could break the game wide open. This game will really come down to defence. Both offences have powerful weapons and immeasurable talent. These guys can play football. Whichever team’s defence can maintain the speed and ability of the other team will win this game. The Saints have the experience. That’s my pick.

My Pick: New Orleans Saints

Game 2: Detroit Lions at San Francisco 49ers

In week one, both of these teams played well. Their respective fan bases are satisfied for now. But this has holds no weight when it comes to sports betting. It’s all about what will happen next. Not only for betting, but for fans all around, this will be a fun game to watch. Both of these teams have recently found success in the past couple of seasons, after what many thought were too many years of rebuilding. A lot will be said, in this game, about which team has been able to turn it around more effectively. I’m leaning toward San Fran for this one. Each team did well, but the 49ers did it in a more well-rounded way (Frank Gore+Alex Smith) and against a better team (Packers). I see this game being enjoyable and close, but the 49ers will take it.

My Pick: San Francisco 49ers
