NFL Week 2 Odds, TV Info and Predictions

John Morgan

After an insipid Thursday night abomination, the rest of NFL week two gets underway on Sunday. The Patriots at New Orleans highlights the early games, in a matchup featuring a pair of future Hall of Fame quarterbacks. Dallas at Denver is the best late afternoon game, unless you enjoy watching the Jete getting pounded at Oakland. The best game of the week comes on Sunday night with Green Bay at Atlanta in a rematch of last season’s NFC championship. Week two wraps up with Detroit at the Giants on Monday night.

Some first half updates:

Bucs 10, Bears 0
Jameis Winston with a nice back shoulder pass to Mike Evans for a TD. Came one play after Chicago's second turnover. Former Buc Mike Glennon 7/8, but with a pick. Neither team can run the ball (1.7 ypc and 2.0 ypc)

Steelers 14, Vikings 0
Case Keenum averaging 0.8 yards per pass with Sam Bradford out.
First Downs: Pittsburgh 8, Minnesota 1

Eagles 3, Chiefs 3
Alex Smith overthrew an open Tyreek Hill on what would have been a TD.
Philly defense has contained RB Kareem Hunt (4 carries for 6 yards).

More from the first half:

Colts 10, Arizona 0
Indy stops the Cardinals on 4th and goal from the 1 yard line.
Brissett 6/11 for 64 yards, mostly to TE Jack Doyle (3 receptions, 34 yards).
Arizona has no offense without David Johnson; consecutive 3-and-outs.

Panthers 3, Bills 0
Tyrod Taylor 5/6, but for only 15 yards.
Two teams have combined for 5 punts already.

Ravens 14, Browns 0
Ben Watson (4 receptions on 4 targets, for 61 yards) is Baltimore's leading receiver
Flacco: 10/12, 107 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
Kizer: 6/11, 81 yards, 1 INT
Browns: 1/5 on third down

Titans 3, Jaguars 3
Five punts between the two teams, plus one turnover.
Mariotta: 5/11, 36 yards, 1 INT
Bortles: 3/8, 25 yards

Bucs now lead Chicago 17-0.
Bears are 4/5 on third down, but three turnovers are killing them.

Buffalo was called for an unsportsmanlike penalty on the sideline, then side judge James Coleman was knocked over. He was looked at by the trainers but remained in the game. Sure we will hear more about that later.

Deshone Kiser left the game with a migraine... poor Browns haha

 

[jmt57]

Colts 10, Cardinals 3 (Halftime)
Arizona had seven plays in the red zone and could not score a TD. One pass went through the TE's hands and a would-be catch was overturned. Can't imagine how bad they will be when they face a real defense.

Bucs 26, Bears 0 (Halftime)
Glennon with a bad pick-6. Time to put Trubisky in the game?

Titans 6, Jaguars 3 (Halftime)
Blake Bortles throws a pick, ending a career-best streak of 109 passes without an interception.

Chiefs 6, Eagles 3 (Halftime)
Kareem Hunt: 5 carries for 8 yards (plus 1 catch for 16 yards)
Darren Sproles: 7 carries, 37 yards
LeGarrette Blount: zero touches
Carson Wentz underthrows one play, overthrows the next

Panthers 6, Bills 0 (Halftime)
LeSean McCoy: three carries for zero yards

Ravens 21, Browns 7 (Halftime)
Flacco to Maclin, 2 yard TD with 5 seconds left in half
DeShone Kizer left due to a migraine. Conspiracy theorists contemplate if that term is used in order to avoid concussion protocol. Kevin Hogan (who?) becomes the 8th Browns QB to throw a TD pass since 2015.

Per Mike Rodak:

Bills WR Andre Holmes left the field appearing to be in pain, holding his left arm/shoulder awkwardly, after a Buffalo punt in the third quarter. Buffalo is thin at receiver, with only Jordan Matthews, Zay Jones and Kaelin Clay their remaining healthy options. None have catches today.​

Brissett is going to OT.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Cardinals just missed a 42 yard FG to win the game overtime herobal chance for the Pied Piper Jacoby Brissett in Indy.

 

[slam]

Cards miss the winning kick to send it to OT!? Brissettemania lives!

Pagano iced that "49ers" kicker real good.

CTV is showing sportscentre. I can't get bonus coverage of Clots vs Cardinals OT.
