Bills vs. Jets
Keon Coleman Under 46.5 Receiving Yards (-110; BetMGM)
The Bills pulled off an insane comeback on Sunday Night Football against Baltimore, rallying from a 15-point deficit in the fourth quarter.
The volume numbers for Buffalo's offense were off the charts given the wonky nature of the game.
Buffalo ran a ridiculous 78 plays, including 36 in the final period. Josh Allen had 46 pass attempts, which was his most since Week 12 of 2023.
Regression is absolutely coming for Buffalo, and Coleman seems like a prime candidate to take a step back.
Coleman finished with eight catches and 112 receiving yards on 11 targets, but basically all of his production came in the frantic fourth quarter comeback. He had just one catch for 17 yards on three targets through the first three quarters.
Khalil Shakir and Josh Palmer had both out-targeted Coleman heading into the fourth quarter. He was behind guys like Dawson Knox and Elijah Moore in targets per route run.
Coleman's performance was awesome, but the majority of his production came in one of wildest fourth quarters in recent memory.
Oh, and Sauce Gardner shadows now. ESPN reporter Rich Cimini had a full write-up on Gardner's new role under first-year head coach Aaron Glenn following last week's game against DK Metcalf.
"My job was to eliminate No. 4 when I was on him," Gardner said, "I feel like I strapped him."
The stats back that up. Gardner held Metcalf to just one catch for 11 yards. Pittsburgh's top receiver had three catches for 72 yards against the Jets' other defensive backs.
As a big-bodied outside receiver, Coleman would seem like the choice to get the shadow treatment from Gardner.
Pick: Keon Coleman Under 46.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
Rams vs. Titans
Calvin Ridley Over 4.5 Receptions (-115; DraftKings)
By Kyle Murray
Last week was arguably the worst spot imaginable for this Titans team, as they had a rookie quarterback thrown into the deep end on the road against arguably the best defense in football.
Despite that, the Titans actually still held their own and were in the contest until the final seconds.
Cam Ward certainly showed flashes of great play, and Ridley saw a 28% target share despite being locked up by the best corner in the NFL.
Ridley is in for a big upgrade this season with Ward at QB and has a much better matchup this week to showcase that.
Pick: Calvin Ridley Over 4.5 Receptions (-115)
Browns vs. Ravens
Joe Flacco Over 38.5 Pass Attempts (-110; bet365)
I was able to get this line at 37.5. It's already moved to 38.5 or 39.5 at most books, and it's still too low.
This Browns offense is going to pass at a massive clip with Flacco here. The run game is in shambles right now, and this matchup isn't going to make things any better.
The Ravens are a massive pass-funnel defense, as they allowed the fewest rushing yards per game last season and the 6th-most passing yards per game.
With the Browns being massive underdogs, the projected game script heavily favors them throwing all game long.
Flacco recorded 45 pass attempts last week, and looking back to his stint with the Browns in 2023, he threw less than 42 pass attempts in only one of those six games.
I would hit this line all the way up to 40, and I don't hate the ladder.
Pick: Joe Flacco Over 38.5 Pass Attempts (-110)
49ers vs. Saints
Rashid Shaheed Over 3.5 Receptions (-115; bet365)
By Brit Devine
Saints' head coach Kellen Moore is playing his best players and he's not messing around with rotations at the receiver position.
Shaheed played 87% of snaps in Week 1 and played 94% of snaps on passing plays. He had nine targets and turned that into six receptions for 33 yards.
Last season, Shaheed had an aDOT of 17.7, which was one of the highest in the league. In Week 1, he had an aDOT of 8.7, allowing him to get targets that were much easier to catch.
The Saints played at the fastest pace in the league last week as well, giving them more opportunity to amass stats than other teams.
49ers' LB Fred Warner is one of the best coverage LBs in the league, so instead of attacking the TE position, I'm going to the WR position to get peppered with targets.
I would have this line at 4.5, so with a big difference compared to my projected line, we are betting to win two units.
Pick: Rashid Shaheed Over 3.5 Receptions (-115)
Bears vs. Lions
David Montgomery Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+100; bet365)
By Grant Neiffer
Things didn't go as planned for the Lions last week, getting crushed by the Packers, but this week should be a different story.
The Lions get the new-look Bears with their former OC Ben Johnson on the other sideline.
The Lions actually gave Montgomery more carries than Jahmyr Gibbs last week, and while Gibbs was much more more involved in the passing game, that was largely due to game script.
It still looks like this is a split backfield for the Lions, and I'm guessing that Montgomery gets more of the goal line work like last season.
This game is being played at home, which should help the Lions massively on the offensive side of the ball, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Lions keep their foot on the gas in this spot to make a statement.
The game script should favor Montgomery, as the Lions are 6-point favorites, and the Bears' defense appears much worse than the Packers from what we've seen so far.
I have Montgomery at around a 60% chance of scoring, making this a great bet at coin-flip odds.
Pick: David Montgomery Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+100)
Jaguars vs. Bengals
Travis Etienne Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+140; DraftKings)
By Brit Devine
I doubt we see higher odds as more books put lines out, so I'm jumping in early on Etienne to find his way into the end zone against Carolina in Week 2.
The Jaguars traded away Tank Bigsby after Week 1, and he was a reasonable threat for short-yardage and goal line work.
Rookie Bhayshul Tuten was in a 3rd-down role, and rookie LeQuint Allen Jr. only played in the second half when the game was mostly out of reach.
That might change a little, but Etienne looks to have solidified his starting role with a big Week 1 and should be getting the first cracks around the goal line in this game.
Both offenses should be able to improve upon last week's performance, giving plenty of opportunities for shootout potential.
Pick: Travis Etienne Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+140)
Eagles vs. Chiefs
DeVonta Smith Over 59.5 Receiving Yards (-120; BetMGM)
By Charlie Wright
Dallas Goedert's status is now in doubt after he missed another practice for the Eagles today. He could certainly still suit up, but not managing even a limited appearance is a bad sign.
DeVonta Smith has historically smashed when Goedert misses time.
Smith averaged 84 yards on five catches and 8.4 targets when Goedert missed a 5-game stretch in 2022.
In three games without Goedert in 2023, Smith went off for 100 yards on 7.3 receptions and 9 targets per game game.
The lone clunker was in Week 7 last season, when Philly hammered the Giants and only threw 14 passes. Smith had just one catch for -2 yards.
In the other six games Goedert missed last season, Smith averaged 81.5 yards on 6.2 catches and 7.7 targets.
The Chiefs were torched through the air last week in Brazil. They sold out to stop the run, and Justin Herbert made them pay. Herbert racked up 318 passing yards, and all three of his starting wide receivers topped 60 yards.
The Chiefs are slight 'dogs at home, so we should see a competitive game.
Pick: DeVonta Smith Over 59.5 Receiving Yards (-120)
Broncos vs. Colts
Bo Nix Over 20.5 Completions (-120; BetMGM)
By Kyle Murray
Denver's game against the Titans in Week 1 was a bit closer than many thought it would be, and even closer than the final score indicated, so we saw Nix attempt 40 passes.
While that might seem like an outlier considering he only attempted 32.7 passes per game last season, there are some signs that point to the Broncos leaning towards a bit more of a pass-heavy approach.
First, they have a new-look backfield, and while J.K. Dobbins had a good Week 1 on the ground, rookie RJ Harvey is someone who profiles to be quite productive as a pass-catcher, and that could result in the Broncos looking to pass more when he is on the field.
Second, the Broncos had the 8th-highest pass rate in neutral situations last week.
The Broncos are favorites in this spot, but in a game with just a 1-point spread, we should see this Broncos team in passing situations throughout the entire game.
Nix has also completed 21+ passes in seven of his last 10 regular season games, and I project him for 23 completions in our projections for Week 2.
Pick: Bo Nix Over 20.5 Completions (-120)
Panthers vs. Cardinals
James Conner Over 59.5 Rushing Yards (-135; Fanatics)
By Charlie Wright
Carolina gave up 653 more rushing yards than the next-closest team in 2024. They gave up the 3rd-most yards before contact per attempt AND the 3rd-most yards after contact per attempt.
The Panthers spent some cash in free agency to improve up front, adding defensive tackles Tershawn Wharton and Bobby Brown III after whiffing on Milton Williams. They also got defensive tackle Derrick Brown back from injury. They have to be better on the ground, right?
Nope. Jacksonville torched Carolina for 200 yards on 32 carries in Week 1. Travis Etienne led the way with 143 yards on 16 carries. It was his first 100-yard rushing game since Week 5 of 2023. Etienne topped out at 68 yards last season.
The Panthers gave up the 4th-most yards before contact per attempt and the 3rd-most yards after contact per attempt in the opener. To make matters worse, Wharton hurt his hamstring and has already been ruled out for Week 2.
Conner didn't do much for the Cardinals in Week 1, but the role remained strong. He posted a 63.9% snap share and handled 60% of the running back rush attempts, in line with his 2024 marks (60.4% and 54.1%, respectively).
Backup Trey Benson logged eight carries for 69 yards, though his increased workload didn't come at Conner's expense. Benson basically took the Emari Demercado/Michael Carter snaps from last season in addition to his normal backup work.
Conner and Benson were the only RBs to see the field against New Orleans. Both backs should be in store for solid production this week.
Pick: James Conner Over 59.5 Rushing Yards (-135)
Falcons vs. Vikings
Bijan Robinson Under 65.5 Rushing Yards (-110; DraftKings)
By Brit Devine
The Falcons were back to splitting carries between Bijan Robinson and backup Tyler Allgeier in Week 1, with Robinson seeing 12 carries and Allgeier 10.
Eventually, that should tilt much farther in Robinson's favor, but this looks eerily similar to the start of last season for the Falcons before Robinson took over a few weeks into the season.
The Falcons also managed just 2.5 yards per carry (YPC) last week against Tampa, as their offensive line couldn't block anyone, leading to the 4th-fewest yards before contact of any team in Week 1.
The Vikings held D'Andre Swift to 3.1 YPC in Week 1 and allowed the 4th-fewest YPC last season under DC Brian Flores' blitz-heavy scheme.
With workload questions, a bad offensive line, and one of the toughest matchups around, it might be another slow day for the Falcons' run game.
