At SteadyPicks, we have a name for week 2 in the NFL. We call it the "CALM DOWN" week. We call it this because year in and year out, people can't help but overreact to the small week 1 sample size.
That being said, and before we jump into the golden rule of week 2, we have one thing to say to everyone. If you are riding high after week 1, calm down! You've got a long way to go. If you are down in the dumps after week 1, calm down! Step away from the ledge at least until after week 4.
SteadyPicks Week 2 Betting Golden Rule:
"No team is ever as good, or as bad as they look in Week 1."
It's really as simple as that. Year over year, we consistently find great value betting on the teams that looked the worst in week 1, and fading the teams that looked the best.
Here are a few teams that stood out on both ends of the spectrum.
The Uglies: (Teams we expect to improve)
Packers
(Lost 38-3 to Saints)
Titans
(Lost 38-13 to Cardinals)
Jaguars
(Lost 21-37 to Texans)
The Catfish:
(Teams we aren't sold on)
Eagles (Beat Falcons 32-6)
Seahawks (Beat Colts 28-16)
Broncos (Beat Giants 27-13)
