NFL Odds, Vegas Lines, Picks, Spreads, Game Predictions: Model Lovers Ravens, Buccaneers at Week 2, 2024

The Week 2 NFL schedule has many teams trying to build on strong season-openers, while others are trying to bounce back from disastrous performances. New England pulled off its biggest upset of Week 1, beating Cincinnati as an 8.5-point underdog in the NFL spread. The Patriots will return to Gillette Stadium for their first game since Bill Belichick's retirement when they host the Seahawks on Sunday. New England is a 3.5-point underdog in Week 2 NFL Odds, as Seattle is coming off a 26-20 win over Denver.

On the other end of the spectrum, Carolina was the worst Week 1 performer, getting blown out by New Orleans 47-10 in the finale. The Panthers are six-point home underdogs against the Chargers on the Week 2 NFL line, so should you fade Carolina with your Week 2 NFL bets?

Top Week 2 NFL Predictions

We can tell you one of the model's strongest Week 2 NFL picks covers the Ravens (-8.5, 41.5) vs. the Raiders at home. The betting market has already started to adjust this line, as Baltimore was a 7.5-point favorite this summer. Baltimore came up just short of potentially beating Kansas City in the NFL kickoff game, where the Raiders scored just 10 points in a double-digit loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

The Raiders gave up 176 rushing yards in that loss, which is a bad sign heading into a matchup against one of the league's best rushing attacks. Baltimore couldn't fully utilize its ground game against Kansas City due to the flow of that contest, but the Ravens still finished with 185 rushing yards and 452 total yards. They're rushing for 170 yards in the latest simulation for this Week 2 matchup, which is one reason they're covering the spread well over 50% of the time. See other team picks here.

Another Week 2 NFL Prediction: Lions vs. Buccaneers (+7.5, 51) cover on the road. As a franchise, the Buccaneers have been able to deal with the uncomfortable atmosphere that comes with the Lions' home games as Tampa has had recent success in the Motor City. During the regular season, the Bucs are 4-1 in their last five visits to Detroit and 7-2 in their last nine. The Buccaneers won three regular-season road games overall despite being underdogs in two of those.

Baker Mayfield is coming off a four-touchdown game with an 80% completion percentage and no turnovers. He now faces a Lions defense that gave up 317 passing yards to Matthew Stafford in Week 1 and allowed the sixth-most passing yards in 2023. The model projects Mayfield to have more touchdown passes than Jared Goff and that would allow the Bucs. This one is for staying. The model has this game decided by less than a field goal, as Tampa Bay (+6.5) covers nearly 60% of the time. Under (48.5) is predicted to hit in about 60% of simulations. See other team picks here.
