NFL WEEK 2 GAME PREDICTIONS

Bills vs Dolphins
- Prediction: Bills win 28-20
- Vegas Line: Dolphins -1.5
- O/U: 51
- Why I Love This Pick: The Bills' offense finds its rhythm, outpacing the Dolphins in a high-scoring game. With the Dolphins giving 1.5 points, this prediction favors Buffalo’s solid offensive performance and defensive resilience. Both team's lean on their rushing scheme. With the total coming in three points under 51 at 48 and both teams using their running game as the scheme, the game can very easily go over.
- RB GETS 22+ RUSH ATTEMPTS: Cook and Achane

Saints vs Cowboys
- Prediction: Cowboys win 30-24.
- Vegas Line: Cowboys -6.
- O/U: 44.5.
- Why I Love This Pick: The Saints' dynamic offense stands tall in a shootout against the Cowboys despite being 6-point underdogs. Expect New Orleans to put up points in bunches and come close to covering. Both teams lean on their starting running backs to control the game.
- RB GETS 22+ RUSH ATTEMPTS: Kamara and Zeke

Buccaneers vs Lions
- Prediction: Buccaneers win 25.5-24.
- Vegas Line: Lions -6.5.
- O/U: 48.5.
- Why I Love This Pick: A tight contest where the Buccaneers barely edge out the Lions despite being heavy underdogs. Expect a close, hard-fought game. The Bucs will have their rushing game as their plan of attack.
- RB GETS 22+ RUSH ATTEMPTS: TB - Rachaad White

Colts vs Packers
- Prediction: Packers win 24-21.
- Vegas Line: Suspended due to Jordan Love’s knee injury.
- Why I Love This Pick: Should this game go ahead with a replacement at QB for Green Bay, the Packers still manage to secure a win by relying on their ground game and solid defense. Let's cross our fingers and hope we get to watch Michael Pratt sling the rock for GB.
- RB GETS 22+ RUSH ATTEMPTS: Jonathan Taylor and Josh jacobs

Jets vs Titans
- Prediction: Jets win 23-17.5.
- Vegas Line: Jets -4.
- O/U: 43.5.
- Why I Love This Pick: The Jets' defense and Aaron Rodgers prove too much for the Titans. The 4-point spread seems favorable with the Jets controlling the game. Tony Pollard will get 22 rushes unless the Titans fall too far behind. The Titans will try to use a running game plan as their offensive scheme.
- RB GETS 22+ RUSH ATTEMPTS: Ten -Tony Pollard

49ers vs Vikings
- Prediction: 49ers win 28-18.5.
- Vegas Line: 49ers -6.5.
- O/U: 46.5.
- Why I Love This Pick: San Francisco cruises to a comfortable victory, covering the 6.5-point spread with ease. Their powerful offense and relentless defense will shut down Minnesota.
- RB GETS 22+ RUSH ATTEMPTS: SF - Christian Mccaffrey

Seahawks vs Patriots
- Prediction: Patriots win 28-17.
- Vegas Line: Seahawks -4.
- O/U: 41.
- Why I Love This Pick: The Patriots flip the script, easily overcoming a struggling Seahawks team despite being the underdog. The line is favorable for a Patriots' cover and outright win.
- RB GETS 22+ RUSH ATTEMPTS: Rhamondre Stevenson and maybe Kenneth Walker III

Giants vs Commanders
- Prediction: Washington win 19-13.
- Vegas Line: Washington -2.5.
- O/U: 42.
- Why I Love This Pick: In a lower-scoring divisional game, the Commanders rookie QB pulls off a win, comfortably covering the spread and winning outright. Both teams come in hoping to utilize their starting running back for at least 22 rushes but the defenses step it up to stop the run knowing that forcing these QBs to throw is the best course of action, hoping the other makes a mistake before their own.
- RB GETS 22+ RUSH ATTEMPTS: Devin Singletary and Brian Robinson jr.

Chargers vs Panthers
- Prediction: Chargers win 21.5-19.
- Vegas Line: Chargers -3.5.
- O/U: 41.5.
- Why I Love This Pick: The Chargers manage a win but may not cover the 3.5-point spread in what’s expected to be a close game against a scrappy Panthers team. The Panthers will have to throw in this game. Can Brad Idzik, Tampa Bay's former wide receivers coach lead them to a victory as the Panthers new offensive coordinator?
- RB GETS 22+ RUSH ATTEMPTS: NONE

Browns vs Jaguars
- Prediction: Browns win 18-16.
- Vegas Line: Jaguars -2.
- O/U: 44.5.
- Why I Love This Pick: A gritty, defensive battle where Cleveland prevails despite being underdogs. Expect the Browns to cover and win outright. This ugly game will be watched only by the mothers of the players. The Browns run the ball more than 22 times but badly.
- RB GETS 22+ RUSH ATTEMPTS: Clv - Jerome Ford

Raiders vs Ravens
- Prediction: Ravens win 23.5-16.
- Vegas Line: Ravens -7.5.
- O/U: 44.
- Why I Love This Pick: Baltimore’s strong defense and efficient offense will easily cover the 7.5-point spread, taking control of the game from the start. The raiders attempt to come in with a running game plan will be short lived and they will have to change course to try and save face. Even though Zamir White is scheduled for 22 touches, it's not a safe option due to the prospect of the Raiders tailing the whole game.
- RB GETS 22+ RUSH ATTEMPTS: LV - Zamir White

Rams vs Cardinals
- Prediction: Rams win 29-25.
- Vegas Line: Rams -2.5.
- O/U: 48.5.
- Why I Love This Pick: The Rams edge out the Cardinals in a high-scoring affair. The 2.5-point spread is tight, but Los Angeles should handle Arizona’s offense. The Rams being allowed to utilize their running back for 22 rushes will be the reason the Rams win this game.
- RB GETS 22+ RUSH ATTEMPTS: LAR - Kyren Williams

Steelers vs Broncos
- Prediction: Steelers win 25-21.5.
- Vegas Line: Steelers -3.
- O/U: 40.5.
- Why I Love This Pick: Pittsburgh covers the spread in a solid performance at home, outlasting the Broncos in a physical contest. The Broncos bring their rushing game in hopes it will prevent Russell Wilson from scoring more than speculated.
- RB GETS 22+ RUSH ATTEMPTS: Den - J. Williams

Bengals vs Chiefs
- Prediction: Chiefs win 20-18.
- Vegas Line: Chiefs -4.
- O/U: 48.5.
- Why I Love This Pick: A narrow victory for Kansas City. While the Chiefs win, Cincinnati keeps it close enough to cover the spread.
- RB GETS 22+ RUSH ATTEMPTS: NONE

Bears vs Texans
- Prediction: Texans win 22-20.5.
- Vegas Line: Texans -3.5.
- O/U: 47.
- Why I Love This Pick: Houston pulls out a win in a close contest, narrowly covering the spread in what could be a surprisingly tight game. The Bears will try and help Caleb out by running the ball 22+ times.
- RB GETS 22+ RUSH ATTEMPTS: Chi - D'Andre Swift

Falcons vs Eagles
- Prediction: Eagles win 22-18.
- Vegas Line: Eagles -5.
- O/U: 48.
- Why I Love This Pick: Philadelphia does not cover but wins in a controlled game Don’t expect an offensive explosion here.
- RB GETS 22+ RUSH ATTEMPTS: Atl - BIJAN ROBINSON
