A Closer Look at the NFL Preseason Week 2 Sure Winners

Thursday, August 17

Baltimore Ravens (8-8) at Miami Dolphins (10-6)

Where: Hard Rock Stadium at 7:00 PM ET Weather Forecast Clear: 31°C/87°F Humidity 68% Precipitation % 17% Cloud Cover 27% Wind 8 mph E Stadium Type Open Analysis: While both of these franchises failed to bring in Colin Kaepernick to help address their sad quarterbacks’ situations, the Ravens are the pick to get the SU win, seeing as how they’ve absolutely owned the Dolphins by going a perfect 7-0 ATS in the last seven meetings, including 5-0 ATS in their last five visits to South Beach. Baltimore is also 5-1 ATS in their last six games on grass while the Fins are just 6-13 ATS in their last 19 home games. Last but not least, any team that was desperate enough to sign the pitiful jay Cutler, deserves to lose! Baltimore wins in a thriller. NFL Preseason Week 2 Pick: Baltimore 24 Miami 23

Buffalo Bills (7-9) at Philadelphia Eagles (7-9)

Where: Lincoln Financial Field at 7:00 PM ET Weather Forecast Clear: 26°C/79°F Humidity 55% Precipitation % 1% Cloud Cover 29% Wind 7 mph S Stadium Type Open Analysis: The Bills are heading in a new direction under head coach Sean McDermott and they’ve got some real talent on the offensive side of the ball. However, since this Week 2 matchup will feature mostly backups and the Birds are playing at home with a lot of things they want to improve upon, I think the Birds are the right pick to get the SU win at the very least. The Bills are heading in a new direction this NFL preseason week 2 under head coach Sean McDermott. The Bills are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games and 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall while Philadelphia is a robust 6-2 ATS in their last eight home games and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games on grass. The bottom line for this matchup is that I’m expecting Nick Foles to lead Philadelphia to the narrow win over Buffalo’s T.J. Yates. NFL Preseason Week 2 Pick: Philadelphia 28 Buffalo 24

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-7) at Jacksonville Jaguars (3-13)

Where: EverBank Field, 8:00 PM ET (ESPN) Weather Forecast Chance of a Thunderstorm: 27°C/81°F Humidity 85% Precipitation % 31% Cloud Cover 50% Wind 5 mph NNW Stadium Type Open Analysis: The Tampa bay Buccaneers are looking to bust into the playoffs after going 9-7 and narrowly missing out last season while the Jacksonville Jaguars simply want to get back to being a respectable team after winning a paltry three games a year ago. While I’m no fan of Bucs backup Ryan Fitzpatrick, I am going to urge you to back Tampa Bay to get the SU win, not because they have the better backup quarterback in this affair, but because they have the better team and are much further along with their cohesiveness than the rebuilding Jags are under new head coach Doug Marrone. Tampa Bay is 5-1 ATS in their last six road games while Jacksonville is just 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. Tampa Bay wins by almost a touchdown. NFL Preseason Week 2 Pick: Tampa Bay 27 Jacksonville 21

Predictions for Every NFL Preseason Team – August 10th

Friday, August 18

Minnesota Vikings (8-8) at Seattle Seahawks (10-5-1)

Where: CenturyLink Field, 10:00 PM ET (NFLN) Weather Forecast Very cloudy: 58°F Humidity is 94% Wind is South-southwest 4 mph Visibility is 7.705003 mi Pressure is N/A inHg Analysis: I like Minnesota head Coach Mike Zimmer and his team’s powerful defense, but for me, the Seattle Seahawks are the easy pick to get the win in this Week 2 matchup mostly because Seattle backup Trevone Boykin could outplay Minnesota backup Case Keenum almost in his sleep. The Vikings are just 1-5 ATS in their last six road games and have a bunch of question marks on offense while Seattle has gone a polar opposite 5-1 ATS in their last six home dates and have just a couple of areas of concern this preseason, mostly getting back to being a power rushing team. NFL Preseason Week 2 Pick: Seattle 23 Minnesota 21
