NFL Week 2 early predictions: Giants vs. Rams, Steelers vs. Patriots picks, best bets

Week 2 NFL betting begins with momentum from Week 1 results, including a win on Jets +2.5 that closed at +1 and a successful under 39.5 bet. The article also notes a Browns +9 wager that closed at +8, even though Cleveland lost heavily to Jacksonville. Early picks for this weekend include Giants (+7, Caesars) vs. Rams on Sunday Night Football, with the case centered on New York’s ball control and turnover avoidance—and the Rams facing uncertainty after Myles Garrett’s foreseeable absence. Another target is Patriots (-5.5, bet365) vs. Steelers, factoring in New England’s 11 days’ rest and quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ return from a Sunday slugfest.
