NFL Sunday betting tips & top odds | Week 2 picks

The NFL action continues this Sunday (Monday AEST) with a 14-match slate scheduled. Here are our top picks for Week 2, with odds from the best NFL betting sites in United States.

New Orleans Saints vs Dallas Cowboys

Returning to the Cowboys this season, ninth-year running back Ezekiel Elliott had a solid start last week with 49 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. But most importantly, the 29-year-old led the team in carries and snap counts, suggesting he will be RB1 ahead of Rico Dowdle. With the Cowboys coming in as strong favourites at home, back Elliott score a touchdown at $2 with leading NFL bookmakers.

Las Vegas Raiders vs Baltimore Ravens

In a battle of two run-heavy sides, expect this matchup to be an arm-wrestle from the start. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson struggled to gel with his receivers in Week 1, so new running back Derrick Henry should be heavily involved. Both sides are excellent defensively, particularly inside the box, so back this game to be a low-scoring affair.

Los Angeles Chargers vs Carolina Panthers

Off-season recruit J.K. Dobbins had an excellent start to life in LA against the Raiders last week, rushing for 135 yards and a touchdown. This week the Chargers face the Panthers, who conceded 47 points in Week 1 — including two rushing touchdowns and 180 yards on the ground. New coach Jim Harbaugh has already shown his run-heavy gameplan, so back Dobbins to get into the endzone at $2 with top online betting sites.

Seattle Seahawks vs New England Patriots

Entering the season with minimal expectations, the Patriots provided the biggest upset in Week 1 as they beat the Bengals by six points. However, they now face a Seahawks side that boasts one of the best skill-position groups in the NFL. Seattle beat the Broncos despite looking shaky at times, and we can expect a much more polished performance from them this week.

Los Angeles Rams vs Arizona Cardinals

After an injury-interrupted campaign last season, Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp returned to his best in Week 1 with 14 catches, 110 yards and a touchdown. He had 21 targets against the Lions, and with teammate Puka Nacua being placed on IR, this heavy target share should continue. The Cardinals struggled to stop the Bills last week, so there is value in backing Kupp to have over 100 receiving yards at $2.45 with top sports bookmakers.

Chicago Bears vs Houston Texans

In his first game for the Texans, running back Joe Mixon made a statement with 33 touches for 178 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. He led the NFL in touches and total yards for Week 1, so expect him to be a constant threat once again and add another TD to his tally.
