Week 2 NFL upset picks to watch this week

Go get your free money with any of these three upset special picks for the Week 2 NFL slate.

Everybody loves a little extra change in their pocket, so go get some free money with these three upset special picks during some NFL Week 2 action.

Week 1 saw the underdogs dominate, as 12 covered their spread points and nine won straight up. Of course, betting on early-season games is always a bit tricky. However, there are a few dogs that will have their day again this weekend. Perhaps some of these dogs will emerge as perennial favorites in the mid-to-latter part of the season, but for now, they are just dogs. Take advantage.

Here are three underdogs who can win straight up this weekend. Moneylines are from WynnBET.

Week 2 NFL upset picks: Which underdogs are going to win you some money?

3. New York Giants (+150) at Washington Football Team

After being told for a whole week he stinks, look for Daniel Jones to play one of his best games of the season for the New York Giants. They are taking on a familiar foe in the Washington Football Team, who will be without starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. While Chase Young may love him some Taylor Heinicke, the general public should love the Giants here at +150 to get back to .500.

2. Las Vegas Raiders (+200) at Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers were lucky to come out of Orchard Park with a Week 1 victory over the Buffalo Bills. While the Steelers are a better team over the Las Vegas Raiders, this Week 2 matchup screams Mike Tomlin Letdown Game. Derek Carr will play well and the newfound Raiders pass rush may be too hot for Ben Roethlisberger to handle. Take the Raiders at +200 all day, baby.

Here is why BetSided‘s Peter Dewey and Iain MacMillan are picking the Raiders over the Steelers.

"The Steelers pulled off a major upset in Week 1 over Buffalo, but this feels like a letdown spot for a team that really struggled on offense in Week 1. — Peter Dewey"

"I still don’t believe in the Steelers, and I think the Raiders win outright as underdogs for the second straight week. — Iain MacMillan"

1. Cincinnati Bengals (+110) at Chicago Bears

Get on this one immediately before it changes. There will never be a game more apparent towards understanding why the Cincinnati Bengals moved off Andy Dalton to draft Joe Burrow. Unless Matt Nagy admits defeat and starts Justin Fields, the Bears will being the season at 0-2. The Bengals are playing with house money and a ton of confidence, so snag them at +110 yesterday.

Here is why BetSided’s Donnavan Smoot is taking the Bengals over the Bengals on Sunday.

"The Bengals are +120 underdogs and if it comes down to a battle of the offenses, I’m trusting Burrow and his myriad of receivers over Andy Dalton and company. Give me the Bengals to be a surprise 2-0 team. — Donnavan Smoot"

If these three bets are not cutting it, take the Indianapolis Colts at +165 vs. the Los Angeles Rams.
