If you’re making NFL office pool picks or trying to best friends and family in any other NFL pick’em pools, it’s important to have a short memory. The Bengals were the largest favorite on the NFL schedule last week, but wound up losing to the Patriots, dealing a crushing blow to the majority of NFL pick’em selections. Now, Cincinnati takes on Kansas City, the defending world champions, but Joe Burrow and the Bengals have a 3-2 record against the Chiefs in the last three seasons.
The Week 2 NFL schedule also includes what looks like a critical NFC matchup with the Detroit Lions taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Lions open up as 6.5-point favorites at home, but the Buccaneers were firing on all cylinders in a Week 1 win of their own, so who wins that contest, Chiefs vs. Bengals, and the other games in Week 2? Before you make your NFL predictions, you need to see the Week 2 NFL football pool picks from SportsLine’s proven computer model.
Get football picks for every game from a proven NFL model
We’ll give you one team to consider backing during the NFL’s opening week. SportsLine’s advanced computer model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is predicting the Los Angeles Chargers win comfortably the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
The Panthers are coming off a 2-15 season but were hoping to turn things around quickly after rebuilding Bryce Young’s offensive line and giving the former No. 1 overall pick a couple of new weapons in Diontae Johnson and Xavier Legette. However, first-year head coach Dave Canales’ debut wasn’t a good one, as Carolina was demolished 47-10 by New Orleans in Week 1.
Meanwhile, the Chargers managed a 22-10 win in Jim Harbaugh’s debut last week and established a familiar identity in the process. Harbaugh’s teams at every level have been renowned for running the ball and playing great defense, and Los Angeles rushed for 176 yards while the defense held the Raiders to under 300 yards of offense and 10 points. The Chargers also won the turnover battle 3-0 and that’s a big reason why the model says that Los Angeles beats Carolina nearly 80% of the time. See all of SportsLine’s Week 2 NFL predictions here.
