Bill Belichick and the Patriots will make life miserable for Jets rookie QB Zach Wilson
Well, we are off to a strong start. The early weeks of the season can be very difficult to handicap and we are sticking with a pretty conservative approach for Week 2. Last week I loved the Eagles to win big outright and that game was essentially over at the half and the 49ers destroyed Detroit for three quarters before allowing that to get dangerously close to a back-door cover for Lions betters. But where we had the line on Friday it still worked.
It's worth noting that road teams fared very well last week but I'm not ready to go crazy with that as a trend that will hold. But in the case of the two games I like the most this week, I am going with a road favorite to cover against a familiar opponent who they have had a significant amount of recent success against.
