SEA @ PIT – Week 2

The Stillers were no match for the Pats last Sunday night. The Dog thinks Yinz be off yer rocker if you think they’ll be able to right the ship since then. Going against an always competitive Seattle, Russ will find a way to keep the Seahawks within 3 if not the outright W.

In tight calls, I always look to the QB. This one is a no brainer. One is expanding faster than Barry Bond’s head and entering the end of his career. The other gets paid just a little bit more.

Clowney should look to apply more pressure in his second week.

These aren’t the Steelers of a few years ago.

The Dog says Pound It!

The Pick

SEA +3.5

UNDER 47

Dog Pound – Week 2

Let’s face it. We’re all in a pinch and crunched for time and sometimes we gotta get in-n-outta Dodge quicker than Barney at the good ole, now defunct (pour one out) Dairyland Greyhound Race Track in the wonderful Cream State of Wisconsin.  That doesn’t mean you should cut out your weekly NFL betting intel. Stop by The Dog Pound for our 5 weekly Picks To Pound.

There’s a lot of noise out there, but these are the bets you need to pound this week. Liquidate the college fund, cash out your 401k, dig up the coin you’ve buried out back and get invested because The Dog LOVES these picks!

Week 2 is shaping up to look like a road team dream.

Three Woofs.

Pound these picks

  1. DAL -6
  2. ARI @ BAL – OVER 46.5
  3. JAX +8.5
  4. NE -19.5
  5. LAC @ DET – UNDER 47.5

JAX @ HOU – Week 2

Foles is out and Gardner Minshew II is in. Minshew was the 2nd rated rookie on PFF last week. Maybe it just looked so foreign to see a Jags QB put the ball in the air, but some of his deeper throws did actually look pretty good.

Houston showed some flashes last week against New Orleans bu the O-Line still isn’t looking any better. And, this week it isn’t New Orleans. It’s Ngakoue. It’s Josh Allen. It’s Campbell. It’s Myles Jack.

Watson is in for a long day.

I Put this as a close Houston win 24-23. When I saw this line, I salivated.

Put this bet in the Dog Pound.

The Pick

JAX +8.5

Three woofs

I blanked my account betting on this one. Who’s going to spot me more?

MIN @ GB – Week 2

Is the Packers Defense good or did the Bear just stink?

Did the Vikings find the recipe for Kirk Cousins? Under 100 yards?

What kind of team are The Falcons? Should we forget about that Vikings win?

Is Aaron Jones going to do anything? At all? Or did the Bears front 7 punish him?

This game confuses the hell out of me. When that happens – I STOP THINKING!

Get back to basics:

Aaron Rodgers or…. Kirk Cousins?

Home Field at Lambeau. or….. A dome team on the road outside?

You don’t win bets by being smart. You win by being good.

The Pick

GB -3

Three Woofs

Let’s take this one to the bank together. Who’s placing this bet with me?

NE @ MIA – Week 2

I’m surprised the Goodell is going to let the Super Bowl champs play an exhibition game against an amateur squad from Miami.

This is going to set a terrible precedent, blurring the lines between professional and amateur athletes. Watch out NCAA.

Since we have to talk about the game let’s keep it brief.

TB12 is working great. Tommy looked good last week.

NE Blew out the Stillers last week by 30.

Ravens margin of victory over their opponent last week, the Fins, was 49. 

-19.5? Are you kidding me? Need more? The Dog Says cash this one by halftime

The Pick

NE -19.5

Three Woofs

Free money bet, and I can’t unlock my phone. Someone put this in for me.

LAC @ DET – Week 2

No! You’re not in the Doghouse going against a home dog.

I’m taking the Chargers in this one. 

Chargers bested the Colts at home last week by 6 while the Lions came away with a road draw to the Cardinals.  The Andrew Luckless Colts are a better team than they get credit for. Lions go home without much of a roar. Chargers by more than 3.

The Chargers did less travel than Detroit for this Road game. Figure that one out.

I don’t see either of these teams putting up points like they did in years past. Go in your junk drawer, find your Men In Black Neuralyzer, and wipe those memories of high scoring offenses.

The Pick

LAC -3

UNDER 47.5

Three woofs

My reverse mortgage took longer than expected. Who can put in the bets for me?

NO @ LAR – Week 2

Certainly the stakes aren’t what they were in last year’s oh-so-controversial NFC Championship bout, but the Saints Come Marching In to L.A with an early season shot at redemption.

Coming off an emotional last drive comeback against a relatively highly touted Texans team, Who Dey Saints have to and will shore up and solidify on the defensive side of the ball to keep the Rams O in check. 

Rams did enough to get the W in week 1, but, they also have a lot of miles and time zones behind them in just 7 days. Don’t forget, Drew Brees started his career in the SoCal sun. We’ve all had those moments where we feel 25 again; Drew gets his today.

That’s right, The Dog doesn’t see the Rams getting it done at home this week.

The Dog likes the Saints straight up in this one

This OVER is a sucker bet.

Dog Pro Tip: a sucker bet is only a sucker bet if you don’t take it.

The Pick

NO

NO +2

OVER 52

Two Woofs

I dropped my phone in the lake. Can you put this bet in for me?

KC @ OAK – Week 2

The Dog is drooling like Pavlov’s pup when the bell rings.  I’m loving this week 2 matchup of AFC West teams in the 2nd helping of games this Sunday afternoon. 

Call 2019 the Summer Fall of Sammy as he’s well on his way to the banner type year everyone has been waiting for ever since he was selected 4th overall in 2014.  He’s got a full year under belt in the Patty Mahomes & Andy Reid offense . With that belt a few notches tighter I see them using Watkins more and more picking up where they left off last week.

The Raiders look good for 21 a game this year. I see that being more like 24-30 this Sunday afternoon as Andy Reid forgets about his defense for 2 or 3 quarters.

But, these are two old-school offensive minded coaches. Neither is going to settle with being outdone. With the Raiders good for 24, I can’t see this staying under.

Put some ketchup on the steak.

Put on your Favorite Sammy Adams song to pair with your Sammy Watkins highlights.

Put it on KC to cover and the OVER.

The Pick

KC -7.5

OVER 53.5

Three Woofs

I know my early bets won’t be paid out for the afternoon slate. Someone please put these bets in for me.

BUF @ NYG – Week 2

Back to back for the Bills @ MetLife Stadium.  Bills Mafia was shut out in the first half last week but had enough fight to come from behind with 17 2nd half points to get the dub. If they can carry some of that 4th quarter momentum into this game, they might be tough to beat.  But The Dog doesn’t see that happening.

Let’s face it, The New York Football Giants have the easiest problem to fix coming into week 2. Feed the most effective player in the NFL. 14 touches for Saquan last week?!?!?! What was that? Who cares, easy fix.

FEED THE BEST PLAYER IN THE NFL….. and feed The Dog.

G men get ahead early and don’t let up.

The Pick

NYG +1.5

Three Woofs. The Dog loves a dog.

Now, who has service? I need you to place this bet for me.

DAL @ WAS – Week 2

Washington WR Terry Mclaurin was the fourth rated rookie according to PFF last week. Never heard of him, but his contested catches looked awesome. They gave the Eagles a scare early last week and let it get away. Do they surprise Dem Boyz? Doggy don’t think so.

Dak & the gang will Clock In and keep it rolling in Week 2 so Doggy will Lock In on DAL -6.

The Pick

DAL -6
