NFL Week 2: Win, Spread, Over/Under and Game Score Predictions - 2014

Welcome Back to The Sports Savant's Weekly NFL Picks 2014: Week 2 Edition!


A welcome start to my season of NFL picks with a 12-4 record to win and 11-5 with the spread! My picks included going 3-1 on the 4 underdogs to win last week. It was just one of those weird weeks for the over/under(6-10) but as more information on teams reveals itself over the weeks, the more consistent the prediction can become so I'm confident that it will work itself out as we go.

This week is another week that features four home underdogs so picking some of those winners could be tricky this week, but that's what separates the average NFL prognosticators from the best!  I always welcome picking a challenging week.


Below is my overall record for picking games to win, against the spread and the over/under including trifecta predictions, strikeouts and my perfect team score and perfect game score predictions for the 2014 season.
