All of Will Brinson's picks and best bets for Week 2 of the 2022 NFL season
NFL Week 2 is almost always an impossible endeavor because we have to take priors we had coming into the season, watch them go up in flames during Week 1 and also try not to overreact to what we saw in the first week when making selections for the second stanza of the season.
There was chaos everywhere last week, with a multitude of significant favorites losing (and singlehandedly wiping out survivor leagues).
Now several of those teams are favored, and there are a few poorly performing teams who are double-digit favorites. The schedule- makers did us no favors with these second-week matchups because the point spreads are so inflated for teams who we can't quite trust.
