NFL 2026 Week 2 Recap

Pittsburgh Steelers at New England Patriots

The defense carries the torch and gets us the win. The offense has a long way to go and injuries are piling up on the offensive line and secondary. HOWEVER, a win is a win. The offensive mistakes can be fixed. I am still very high on our prospects this season.

Picks:

Pats win βœ…

Pats cover (-5.5) βœ…

Jacksonville Jaguars at Denver Broncos

Jags were up 13-6 in the 4th and blow the game to lose 20-13. 🫠

NFL 2026 Week 1 Recap

New England Patriots at Seattle Seahawks

My goodness, where do I start. We lost to Drew Lock – that just can’t happen. Maye and the offense played horrible and the defense played great. All we can do is throw this game in the trash, learn from it, and move on.

Picks:

Seahawks win βœ…

Seahawks cover (-3) ↔️

Los Angeles Rams vs San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers won the science experiment – for now. They were ready to play and dominated the 2nd half of the game. I respect the Rams were trying what they did and long-term they may be better off. The 49ers now need to go home and get reacclimated.

49ers win βœ…

Buffalo Bills at Houston Texans

This was such an awesome game. Josh Allen is the best player in football.

Bills cover (-1.5) βœ…

Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings

The Packers choked this game away. They were up 22-10 with 17 minutes left in the game and lost 39-22. Credit to Carson Wentz for coming off the bench and playing well. KOC is a great coach and every team in this division is good.

Packers win ❌

2026 NFL Week 1 Pick for Thursday Game

Los Angeles Rams vs San Francisco 49ers

It is still crazy to me that a game is being played in Australia. I understand the NFL wants to expand their global footprint, but asking teams to go Down Under is a little much. I think the most fascinating part of this game is that it legitimately is a science experiment.

The 49ers have been there for a week, while the Rams just arrived and will spend the same amount of time traveling to and from Australia as they will spend actually being there. How will the 49ers vs the Rams travel plans impact them this week and throughout the season?

I got the 49ers winning and covering (+3.5).
