No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams is coming off an NFL debut in which he went 14-of-29 for 93 yards, but was bailed out by his defense and special teams in a 24-17 win over the Titans. However, the Bears will face an even tougher test in Week 2 with a trip to Houston on Sunday Night Football. C.J. Stroud was last year’s NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and Williams remains the favorite in this year’s race despite his sluggish start to the season. Can Williams right the ship and or should you back the Texans with your Week 2 NFL predictions and NFL picks? There are 16 games on the Week 2 NFL schedule and having data to inform your NFL against the spread picks, NFL money line picks, and NFL over/under picks can be a big advantage. Before you make any Week 2 NFL picks, you need to see the NFL against the spread, over-under, and money line predictions powered by SportsLine AI.
Built using cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques by SportsLine’s Data Science team, AI Predictions and AI Ratings are generated for each game. The AI predictions are determined by statistically learning from each team’s historical data and then quantitatively evaluating the strength of the opponent’s defense by assigning a numeric value out of 100 called a matchup score.
Once a prediction is formulated, the AI rating is generated using the prediction, the matchup score, and the odds of the market. For example, you could see an A-rating on an over bet if a team is facing a poor defense, their prediction differs from the line and there are favorable odds.
In addition, SportsLine AI is the first fully automated predictive model at SportsLine. It continuously refreshes on the most recent available data and can help you spot the biggest discrepancies in the lines. Last season, SportsLine’s AI PickBot hit a whopping 1,674 4.5- and 5-star prop picks. Anyone who has followed it is way up.
For Week 2, the AI PickBot has evaluated the NFL odds and provided NFL predictions for all 16 games. You can only see the AI predictions for the Week 2 NFL schedule here.
Top Week 2 NFL AI picks
After analyzing every game in Week 2, the AI PickBot says the Jaguars cover as three-point favorites at home against the Browns. Both teams are coming off an opening-week loss but the Jaguars looked like the much more competitive team in the process. They went to Miami and mounted an early 17-7 lead before the Dolphins came back and won on a field goal as time expired whereas the Browns were beaten 33-17 at home by the Cowboys.
It was an eye-opening performance in the worst sort of way for Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, who went 24-of-45 for 169 yards and a touchdown while throwing two interceptions. Watson was sacked six times and Cleveland went 2-for-15 on third-down conversions while playing much of the game behind schedule. Travon Walker had a two-sack game against Miami and he’s a big reason why the AI PickBot is predicting a 23.43 to 18.48 win on average for Jacksonville.
