Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Sam Panayotovich:
Make sure you get 47 on the Over/Under on this one.
Most American sportsbooks are dealing 46.5, but there are multiple 47s in the market. It’s paramount that you go Under one of most key numbers in football betting. Please protect yourself against final scores like 27-20, 24-23 and 30-17 while those who go Under 46.5 kick themselves.
Bill Belichick and Vic Fangio are two of the sharpest defensive minds when it comes to taking away what offenses do well, and I expect a chess match on Sunday. It’ll also be easier to double Tyreek Hill if Jaylen Waddle (oblique) doesn’t play.

Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Geoff Schwartz:
If Mahomes is a favorite of under three points or an underdog, it’s an automatic wager for me, and this line opened at -2.5 in the look ahead and hasn’t moved despite the outcomes from this weekend.
The Chiefs lost to the Detroit Lions 21-20, while Jacksonville beat the Indianapolis Colts 31-21. The Chiefs lost that game because 10% of Mahomes' passes were dropped by a receiving corps that was without star tight end Travis Kelce. He may or may not play this weekend, but his status doesn’t change my wager.
The Chiefs' offense is going to play better. The offensive line didn’t run block as it is capable of, and I expect an all-around better performance from that unit. The Jaguars' defense is average, and the Chiefs handled them with ease twice last season.
The Chiefs' defense played well against the Lions. It only allowed 14 points without DT Chris Jones in the lineup. Its young defensive backfield is solid, and I think it ends the season in the top third of the NFL. It will always be hard to stop Lawrence, but the Chiefs have the scheme and players to do it enough to cover this game.
And lastly, taking an angry Super Bowl championship team looking to get its first victory after playing poorly in Week 1 is a good wager.
PICK: Kansas City (-2.5) to win by more than 2.5 points (At time of pick)
Point spread: Packers (+3) cover by losing by fewer than 3 points (1)
Moneyline: Falcons win as -152 favorites (bet $10 to win $16.58 total); Packers were +128 underdogs (bet $10 to win $22.80 total)
Total scoring Over/Under: Over 40.5 points scored by both teams combined (49)
Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Sam Panayotovich:
There aren’t many bigger Falcons fans than me this year. And no, I’m not from Atlanta.
Bijan Robinson is an absolute game-changer for the Falcons and his presence makes life easier on everybody else involved. The rookie from Texas touched the ball 16 times for 83 yards and a score, and it feels like his usage will only increase as the season progresses.
Green Bay will be a very popular look here after drubbing the Bears 38-20 in Chicago, but the Bears truly beat themselves. And the Packers surprisingly played a turnover-free game with first-year starter Jordan Love at quarterback, but this should be a season of ups-and-downs for The Cheese.
Atlanta starting cornerback Jeff Okudah and jack-of-all-trades Cordarrelle Patterson are expected back after missing Week 1 with injuries and I believe the Dirty Birds have enough to improve to 2-0.
PICK: Falcons (+1) to lose by 1 point or tie (or win outright) (At time of pick)

Moneyline: Colts win as -102 underdogs (bet $10 to win $19.80 total); Texans were -118 favorites (bet $10 to win $18.47 total);
Total scoring Over/Under: Over 39.5 points scored by both teams combined (51)
Buccaneers 27, Bears 17
Point spread: Buccaneers (-2.5) cover by winning by more than 2.5 points (10)
Moneyline: Buccaneers win as -134 favorites (bet $10 to win $17.46 total); Bears were +114 underdogs (bet $10 to win $21.40 total)
Total scoring Over/Under: Over 40.5 points scored by both teams combined (44)
