Analysis: The Raiders are my top NFL Survivor Pool pick for Week 2, so of course they will be my top consensus pick as well. I like quite a few of the heavy favorites but I do think the underdogs will play well and cover some spreads in Week 2. Big favorites I am wary of include the Bengals, Seahawks and Baltimore. I think a lot of the big-spread teams will win but not cover. And I think there will be a few upsets among the teams that are laying less than seven points. This isn’t a good week, in my opinion, to get tricky in Survivor Pools and just go with the Raiders, who I think are one of the better picks we will have available this season.

Analysis: Not too many surprises in Week 2 with my confidence picks. My No. 1 selection is the Oakland Raiders, who looked very impressive in taking down a tough Tennessee Titans team on the road in Week 1. It is too early in the season for the Raiders to experience a letdown game, so expect the Raiders to easily handle the New York Jets. I am confident the New England Patriots bounce back after a disappointing home opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. Seattle rounds out my top 3 picks against San Francisco, whose offense could not get going against a tough Carolina D so we do not expect them to be able to move the ball against the Legion of Boom. On the upset front I like Cleveland over Baltimore. Baltimore did not put up much offense against a limited Bengals D, and while the Ravens defense performed to a high level the Browns offensive line is a much better front. Cleveland could give Baltimore surprise upset.
