NFL: Week 2 picks against the spread

DETROIT – Well, at least I said week one is the hardest to bet on. I sure took it on the chops Sunday, winning just five of the 12 games played. Then, to top it off, I was off on both Monday Night Football games.

If there is anything I can hang my hat on, it’s that I was correct in picking a majority of underdogs last week. I had eight dogs covering, and after the Chargers covered in the final MNF game, there were a total of eight underdogs that covered the spread. It’s the little things.
