The biggest news and NFL ATS Picks impact coming out of Week 1 of the 2023 NFL regular season involves Aaron Rodgers, who signed a $75 million guaranteed contract with the New York Jets, only to have his 2023 season last exactly four snaps. An awkward landing on a tackle ended with Rodgers tearing the Achilles tendon in his left leg, bringing his season to an end. Head coach Robert Saleh said after the game that the offense now belongs to Zach Wilson, who did lead the Jets back from a 13-3 deficit to a 22-16 overtime win over the Buffalo Bills, primarily marked by bad decisions by Bills quarterback Josh Allen. The Jets have also been linked to such replacement quarterbacks as Phillip Rivers and Carson Wentz – so stay tuned. In the meantime, don’t miss our Week 2 NFL betting picks against the spread.
2023 NFL ATS Picks for Week 2 | Bet NFL Football Lines in Xbet Sportsbook
Minnesota Vikings at Philadelphia Eagles
NFL Odds: Minnesota Vikings (+7) at Philadelphia Eagles (O/U 49.5)
When: Thursday, September 14, 2023, 8:20pm ET
Where: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA
TV/Live Stream: Prime Video
Philadelphia dominated Minnesota in Week 2 a year ago, 24-7. Kirk Cousins has struggled historically in prime-time games, and while he stacked up a lot of yards in the Vikings’ Week 1 loss to Tampa Bay, those yards only yielded 17 points. The Eagles also looked messy in their opener, but they were playing New England in the rain, and they held on for a tough win. The Vikings have a soft defense, and the Eagles should take advantage. Eagles to win and cover.

Kansas City Chiefs at Jacksonville Jaguars
NFL Odds: Kansas City Chiefs (-3) at Jacksonville Jaguars (O/U 51)
When: Sunday, September 17, 2023, 1:00 pm ET
Where: EverBank Stadium, Jacksonville, FL
TV/Live Stream: CBS
Travis Kelce should be back for the Chiefs, which is good news for Patrick Mahomes after watching Kadarius Toney drop pass after pass, including the pick-six that Detroit took back to the house after it clanked off Toney’s hands. They will face a Jacksonville team brimming with confidence after opening the season with a win in Indianapolis. Calvin Ridley made his first appearance since 2021 and broke the 100-yard receiving mark and scored a touchdown. Jaguars to cover.

Green Bay Packers at Atlanta Falcons
NFL Odds: Green Bay Packers (-1.5) at Atlanta Falcons (O/U 40.5)
When: Sunday, September 17, 2023, 1:00 pm ET
Where: Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, GA
TV/Live Stream: FOX
Green Bay should be able to drop seven or eight defenders into the box and dare Desmond Ridder to beat them with his arm after stopping the run on first and second downs. The Falcons were able to get a win on the ground last week, but they’re facing a Packers team that has Jordan Love ready to pass the ball down the field. Packers to win and cover.
NCAA Football Odds | Bet on the Green Bay Packers vs Atlanta Falcons!
Las Vegas Raiders at Buffalo Bills
NFL Odds: Las Vegas Raiders (+9.5) at Buffalo Bills (O/U 47)
When: Sunday, September 17, 2023, 1:00 pm ET
Where: Highmark Stadium, Orchard Park, NY
TV/Live Stream: CBS
The Raiders eked out the win in Denver, as Jimmy Garoppolo linked up with Jakobi Meyers for paydirt twice, and the defense benefited from Russell Wilson continuing to struggle. The Bills should win this by double digits, but I’m staying away from them until Josh Allen stops throwing the ball to the other team at exactly the wrong time. Raiders to cover.
Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals
NFL Odds: Baltimore Ravens (+3.5) at Cincinnati Bengals (O/U 46.5)
When: Sunday, September 17, 2023, 1:00 pm ET
Where: Paycor Stadium, Cincinnati, OH
TV/Live Stream: CBS
Baltimore has an iffy secondary, which should mean plenty of opportunities for Joe Burrow. The Bengals should be able to get after Lamar Jackson and cover the young Ravens’ receivers, but we’ll see whether the Bengals are actually ready to start the 2023 season. Bengals to win and cover.
NCAA Football Odds | Bet on the Baltimore Ravens vs Cincinnati Bengals!
Seattle Seahawks at Detroit Lions
NFL Odds: Seattle Seahawks (+6) at Detroit Lions (O/U 49)
When: Sunday, September 17, 2023, 1:00 pm ET
Where: Ford Field, Detroit, MI
TV/Live Stream: FOX
The Seahawks laid an absolute egg in their opener at home against the Rams, while the Lions pulled off a huge clutch win in Kansas City last Thursday. The Lions’ defense is much improved, and they’re ready for a Seahawks team that kept them out of the playoffs last year. Lions to win and cover.
NCAA Football Odds | Bet on the Seattle Seahawks vs Detroit Lions!
L.A. Chargers at Tennessee Titans
NFL Odds: L.A. Chargers (-3.5) at Tennessee Titans (O/U 45.5)
When: Sunday, September 17, 2023, 1:00 pm ET
Where: Nissan Stadium, Nashville, TN
TV/Live Stream: CBS
Justin Herbert will have plenty of open targets in the Tennessee secondary, and Austin Ekeler will get some big plays carrying the ball outside the tackles. The Titans are a solid, grinding team, led by Derrick Henry on offense, but until Ryan Tannehill figures out his struggles, the Titans will underachieve. Chargers to win and cover.
NCAA Football Odds | Bet on the L.A. Chargers vs Tennessee Titans!
Chicago Bears at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
NFL Odds: Chicago Bears (+3) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (O/U 41.5)
When: Sunday, September 17, 2023, 1:00 pm ET
Where: Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, FL
TV/Live Stream: FOX
The Bears continued their long streak of futility against Green Bay last week, and now they head on the road to face a team with a strong run defense…by trying to run the ball. The Bears’ pass rush is not a threat, which means Baker Mayfield should be able to find Chris Godwin and Mike Evans down the field and Rachaad White out of the backfield. Buccaneers to win and cover.
NCAA Football Odds | Bet on the Chicago Bears vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers!
Indianapolis Colts at Houston Texans
NFL Odds: Indianapolis Colts (-1) at Houston Texans (O/U 40)
When: Sunday, September 17, 2023, 1:00 pm ET
Where: NRG Stadium, Houston, TX
TV/Live Stream: FOX
Two rookie quarterbacks (Anthony Richardson for the Colts and C.J. Stroud for the Texans) enter looking for their first career win. Houston can’t stop the run, but the Colts won’t end their petty conflict with tailback Jonathan Taylor. Even so, the Colts’ defense should be able to keep Houston virtually off the board. Colts to win and cover.

NFL ATS Picks | N.Y. Giants at Arizona Cardinals
NFL Odds: N.Y. Giants (-4) at Arizona Cardinals (O/U 39.5)
When: Sunday, September 17, 2023, 4:05 pm ET
Where: State Farm Stadium, Glendale, AZ
TV/Live Stream: FOX
The Giants had more lowlights in one NFL game than any NFL team had ever had in an entire season last week: shut out by at least 40 points, lost a sack battle by at least 7-0, lost a turnover battle by at least 3-0, had a field goal try blocked and returned for a touchdown, and thrown a pick-six. Things have to get better, and the Arizona Cardinals’ woeful squad is just what the doctor ordered. Giants to win and cover.
NCAA Football Odds | Bet on the N.Y. Giants vs Arizona Cardinals!
San Francisco 49ers at L.A. Rams
NFL Odds: San Francisco 49ers (-8) at L.A. Rams (O/U 44.5)
When: Sunday, September 17, 2023, 4:05 pm ET
Where: SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, CA
TV/Live Stream: FOX
The Rams have some weaknesses on defense, and the 49ers have the offense to exploit those weaknesses. The Rams will come with plenty of fight, but they can’t stop Brock Purdy, George Kittle, and Christian McCaffrey on offense. 49ers to win and cover.
NCAA Football Odds | Bet on the San Francisco 49ers vs L.A. Rams!
New York Jets at Dallas Cowboys
NFL Odds: New York Jets (+9.5) at Dallas Cowboys
When: Sunday, September 17, 2023, 4:05 pm ET
Where: AT&T Stadium, Arlington, TX
TV/Live Stream: CBS
This was going to be Dallas’ latest attempt to stop Aaron Rodgers, but now Zach Wilson will lead the Jets. Sam Darnold led the Jets to an easy win over the Cowboys when they last met, four seasons ago. Both teams have elite defenses, so it will be interesting to see if Dak Prescott can do better against Wilson than Josh Allen did. Jets to cover.

NFL ATS Picks | Washington Commanders at Denver Broncos
NFL Odds: Washington Commanders (+3.5) at Denver Broncos (O/U 39)
When: Sunday, September 17, 2023, 4:25 pm ET
Where: Empower Field at Mile High, Denver, CO
TV/Live Stream: CBS
We have two mediocre teams that looked enigmatic in Week 1. The Broncos fell off the table and lost a winnable home Game 1 against the Raiders. Washington saw Sam Howell show flashes of brilliance…and turn the ball over. Denver to win and cover.
NCAA Football Odds | Bet on the Washington Commanders vs Denver Broncos!
Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots
NFL Odds: Miami Dolphins (-2.5) at New England Patriots (O/U 46)
When: Sunday, September 17, 2023, 8:20 pm ET
Where: Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, MA
TV/Live Stream: NBC
Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle can spread the field for Tua Tagovailoa, and the Dolphins’ offense can move at track-meet speed, as we saw in their opening win over the Chargers. I’m not sure that the Patriots have the receiving group to test the Miami secondary. Dolphins to win and cover.
NCAA Football Odds | Bet on the Miami Dolphins vs New England Patriots!
NFL ATS Picks | New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers
NFL Odds: New Orleans Saints (-3) at Carolina Panthers (O/U 41)
When: Monday, September 18, 2023, 7:15 pm ET
Where: Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, NC
TV/Live Stream: ESPN/ESPN2
Derek Carr vs Bryce Young? Carr has a slightly better O-line in front of him and more support in the wide receiver group than does Young. The Saints eagerly await the return of Alvin Kamara to add a rushing dimension to their offense, but they should still be able to outscore this group. Saints to win and cover.
NCAA Football Odds | Bet on the New Orleans Saints vs Carolina Panthers!
Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers
NFL Odds: Cleveland Browns (-2.5) at Pittsburgh Steelers (O/U 40)
When: Monday, September 18, 2023, 8:15 pm ET
Where: Acrisure Stadium, Pittsburgh, PA
TV/Live Stream: ABC/ESPN+
Expect the Pittsburgh pass rush to get after Deshaun Watson, and expect Kenny Pickett to settle down and deliver a more even performance. The Steelers should have more luck with their grinding defense against the run-heavy Browns, who are still waiting for Watson to show the elite passing skills he did in Houston. Steelers to cover.
