NFL PICKS WEEK 2 THURSDAY NIGHT 2017

CIN -6.5 vs HOU (37.5)
Projected CIN 17-14 (31) (week 2- very early to count on projected scores)

Bengals
Bengals and Dalton sucked last week vs a great Ravens defense. But too early to write off CIN, a team that usually wins early in the yr. They also have a defense, are at home and angry. 

Texans
Texans are without LB Cushing now, so maybe not great - but with Watt - they can not be written off either. Watson at QB is a smart move due to his mobility over tackling dummy Savage. (Texans never fix the Off Line and just change QBs instead). However, O'Brien gave all the first team reps in preseason and week 1 to Savage. So, it will take weeks for Watson to settle in and @ the Bengals defense is a big ask? This is especially true with both tight ends out for HOU.

Total
Should be low scoring (RZO) Red Zone Offense below. But the Under is already factored at (37.5) so No easy Under bet here either. Its week 2 - if just one offense struggles the other could capitalize and it could be a blow out and go way over? The both could and it could be a low scoring snore fest? I'll know for sure by tomorrow. LOL.

Fantasy
As you can see from the stats below - START THE RUNNING BACKS! Too early to be sure but looks like both pass games will struggle (PO), but big day for Texans RB Lamar Miller (Blue out) and Bengals RBs Hill, Bernard or Mixon (RO).

Save Your Money!
May be a fun game to watch with Watson, a comedy of airs, or a blow out? Not betting either way. If I did, just for fun I'd try HOU Moneyline with the Over for $20.
