The Week 2 NFL schedule features a full slate of 16 games with no teams favored by double-digits in the latest Week 2 NFL odds. Among the most notable Week 2 matchups are Buccaneers vs. Lions (-7.5), Giants vs. Commanders (-1.5), and Bengals vs. Chiefs (-6). Russell Wilson was expected to make his return to Denver for the Broncos vs. Steelers (-2.5) game, but the 35-year-old quarterback is doubtful due to a calf injury, leaving Justin Fields to start.

The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season on an incredible 184-130 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 38-22 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of 2022.

Now, the model has scoured the Week 2 NFL odds and locked in five confident NFL best bets. If you successfully parlay its picks, you’d be looking at a massive payout of around 25-1. You can only see the model’s Week 2 NFL picks at SportsLine.
After simulating every game 10,000 times, the model is high on the Kansas City Chiefs (-6) to cover at home against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Chiefs covered at home in their season opener against the Ravens, and the Bengals were upset at home by the New Patriots after being favored by over a touchdown. The Bengals’ typically explosive offense was held to just 10 points by a New England team that was expected to be in rebuilding mode in 2023.
Patrick Mahomes was sharp for Kansas City, and remains arguably the top player in the NFL today. On the other side of the ball, the Chiefs’ defense looked to once again be championship caliber. With home field advantage on their side, Hartstein likes the Chiefs to cover again in Week 2. See which other NFL parlay picks to make here.
The model also jumped on four other NFL matchups where it says the line is way off, including a road team that covers the spread in almost 70% of simulations. You can only see the model’s NFL Week 2 best bets and parlay at SportsLine.
