NFL Week 2 Teaser Picks
allow for many options when it comes to . One of those ways is to add or substruct points to an NFL spread to create what is called a teaser. You can essentially do the same thing by taking alternate spreads numbers for each game of your choosing which is an option at many books, including Bet365.
We thought we had added plenty of points to the Steelers in , but it wasn t so. We ll go back to the well one more time here with Mike Tomlin s boys.
Ravens vs Bengals
Bengals +4.5
The Ravens came away with a Week 1 win, 25-9 at home to the Texans. But they were only up 7-6 at half and it didn’t come without a cost. Starting RB JK Dobbins went down with an Achilles injury. The OL has injuries with LT Ronnie Stanley and C Tyler Linderbaum questionable, plus the defense has issues too in the secondary with Trayvon Mullen and Marcus Williams out and Marlon Humphrey questionable. TE Mark Andrews missed Week 1 and is still questionable so Lamar Jackson could be down multiple key pieces to work with.
The Bengals looked awful in Week 1 losing 24-3 to the Browns. But Joe Burrow missed the preseason with a calf injury and surely he and the Bengals will rebound in Week 2.
The teams played three times last season with the home team winning all three. Baltimore won 19-17 and Cincinnati 27-16 in the reg season. Cincinnati won again the playoffs at home 24-17 and has also won four of the past five.
I see a Bengals win here, but in case Burrow is still rusty, these extra points on the alternate spread should cover us in this Week 2 picks in the parlays and teasers.
From : The lost JK Dobbins for the season, and DB Marcus Williams is feared to have suffered a significant injury, as well. Plus, how will the use their RBs?

Chiefs vs Jaguars
Pick: Jaguars +10.5
The teams met twice last season. First in the regular season in Kansas City where the Chiefs won 27-17. They met again in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, again in KC and again playing to a similar score with KC winning 27-20.
The Cheifs get some extra rest here having kicked off the season on Thursday last week, but lost at home 21-20 to Detroit. Meanwhile, Jacksonville went into Indianapolis and beat rookie QB Anthony Richardson and the Colts 31-21.
The Lions offense was clicking versus KC in Week 1. They had more total yards, passing yards, rushing yards, fourth down conversions, first downs, plays and time of possesion. Of course, the Chiefs were down some of their top playmakers with DE Chris Jones holding out and TE Travis Kelce injured.
Jones signed a new contract and will be back for the Chiefs on defense this week but Kelce is still questionable.
The Jags also dominated the stat categories versus the Colts, but still allowed 21 points to a rookie QB. So Mahomes should have a better day than in Week 1 where RB Isiah Pacheco led the team in receptions. WR Kadarius Toney had an awful game and no one stepped up in Kelce s absense.
This looks like a game that has the potential for points if Kelce returns, but also looks like one where win or lose, the Jags keep it close which makes them a great choise for our teaser picks.
Jacksonville was 5-3 at home last season and those three losses came by seven, six and four points. Playoffs included, only 2/9 losses came by ten or more points and SU they re now 8-2 in their past ten.
Browns vs Steelers
Pick: Steelers +10.5
And our final pick in this week s parlays and teasers come from the AFC North.
The Steelers really stuck it to me in Week 1, costing me on my ATS picks and my teaser. Not only did they lose, but they lost big and were never competitive in losing 30-7 at home to San Francisco.
As poor as the Steelers looked in Week 1, the Browns looked just as good in beating their division rivals the Bengals 24-3. The Browns held Joe Burrow and the Bengals to 82 passing yards, 142 total yards and only six first downs.
Both teams won at home last year, Cleveland 29-17 and Pittsburgh 28-14. This AFC North rivalry typically goes the way of the home team with home teams being 8-2-0 in the past ten.
I m going back to the Steelers and hoping last week was an anomoly. Last year at home Pittsburgh lost four games, but by only three, four, seven and two points. And while these Mike Tomlin trends didn t pan out last week, Tomlin at home as a dog has typically been money. He s now 13-6-2 ATS and 12-9 SU as a home underdog in the regular season. Overall, Tomlin is 48-29-3 ATS and 40-40 SU as an underdog. Tomlin off a loss of 10+ points also boasts an impressive 15-5 ATS record.
