  • Week 2 begins with the Dolphins and Bills on Thursday night 

  • The Patriots stunned the Bengals in Week 1 thanks to Rhamondre Stevenson 

  • Chiefs vs. Bengals highlights a loaded week of games

The Kansas City Chiefs, who are currently favored to win the Super Bowl, kicked off Week 1 with a massive win over the Ravens. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs again looked strong, and are positioned for another championship run. 

The Chiefs will return to the spotlight again in Week 2 when they face the Bengals. Cincinnati will do its best to respond following a tough loss to the Patriots.

NFL Prop Bets Week 2

Mike Evans Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+110) at FanDuel Sportsbook

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made a statement in Week 1, taking down the Washington Commanders in dominant fashion. Tampa Bay won 37-20 at home, and they looked like they drastically improved from last season. 

The Buccaneers had an offensive line issue last season, and they focused on it in the offseason. Baker Mayfield spent a lot of time in the pocket, which helped his wide receivers thrive. 

Mike Evans and Chris Godwin had massive games, and we should consistently see this throughout the season. The Detroit Lions struggle in the secondary.

Matthew Stafford picked them apart in the pocket on Sunday Night Football. Cooper Kupp had a big game with 14 receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown. 

Evans has the same capability if Kupp can produce these numbers against Detroit. Evans had five receptions for 61 yards with two touchdowns in Week 1. The receiver was the Buccaneers' primary goal-line target and has an excellent catch radius. 

Evans is +110 to score a touchdown, and these are excellent odds following his two-score game. Evans will have plenty of chances to score if the Buccaneers drive the field.

Travis Etienne Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+100) at FanDuel Sportsbook

The Jacksonville Jaguars are one of the favorites in the AFC North, but they had a rough game against the Dolphins. Jacksonville had every chance to beat Miami but couldn’t convert in the tight moments. 

Jacksonville showed a commitment to running the football in the loss. Their talented back, Travis Etienne, was a workhorse against the Dolphins. 

They continued to pound the rock even when the ground game wasn’t working. Etienne carried the ball 12 times for 44 yards and received many runs around the goal line. 

If Trevor Lawrence can work the offense up the field, Etienne will be called upon in the red zone. The Browns were expected to have an elite defensive front but looked out of sorts against the Cowboys. 

Dallas ran for 102 yards, which is a solid amount against Cleveland. This should give Doug Pederson confidence in establishing the run, propelling Etienne into the end zone.

Bengals Total Points Over 20.5 Points (-118) at FanDuel Sportsbook

It may seem wild to take a team total for a franchise that lost outright as a 7.5-point favorite in Week 1. However, we are banking on a bounceback for the Bengals against the Chiefs. 

Kansas City has a strong defense, and they did a great job against the Ravens. Baltimore didn’t score more than 20 points, but the box score tells a different story. 

Lamar Jackson threw for 273 yards with a touchdown and rushed for another 122. Baltimore outgained Kansas City by 100 yards, but they were terrible in the red zone. The team was 1-4 on red zone touchdowns and had seven penalties for 64 yards. 

The Bengals will have chances to move the ball up the field, but they must capitalize. If Cincinnati has any sense of pride, it will be better on offense than it was against the Patriots. 

New England has a talented defense, but Cincinnati needed more offensive confidence. Joe Burrow and the Bengals have shown the ability to respond to adversity, and if they don’t score 21 points, they won’t be in this game.
