Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers
Time:Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET (Fox), stream on fuboTV (try for free)
Open:49ers -7.5, O/U 44.5
"Pretty shocking to see how this line moved based off the respective Week 1 results from these NFC West rivals. Seattle looked great against theBroncos, stealing a win from Russ and Denver. The49erssuffered an eyebrow-raising loss in Chicago, albeit one that took place in a rarely seen monsoon. The weather conditions definitely warrant givingTrey Lanceand the offense a pass, although it didn't exactly stopJustin Fieldsand theBearsfrom finding points in the second half. Pete Carroll has had a lot of success against San Francisco in the past half decade, and theSeahawkslook legitimately formidable."
New Seahawks fan Will Brinson likes Seattle to keep it close this week, and go 2-0 ATS. For his gambling breakdown of every game in Week 2, clickhere.

Open:Rams -13.5, O/U 50
"TheRamswill have been rested for 10 days after a terrible showing against theBills. Sean McVay is too good a coach for that loss to linger. TheFalconsplayed well in losing to theSaintsin a game they probably should have won. This is a long trip against a good team that will be focused. Rams take it big."
CBS Sports Senior NFL Columnist Pete Prisco is taking the Rams to rebound after their Week 1 loss. Check out his breakdown of every game in Week 2,here.

Arizona Cardinals at Las Vegas Raiders
Time:Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS), stream on Paramount+ (click here)
Open:Raiders -2.5, O/U 50.5
"Las Vegas didn't post nearly as many points as hoped, but moved the ball up and down the field on what might be a qualityChargersdefense. Five sacks and three picks set them back, but theCardinalsdefense looked flaccid and unimposing. TheRaidersaveraged 7.33 yards per first-down play last week. It was pretty impressive, and Carr will learn not to favor Adams quite as much. The Raiders will generate pressure against a suspect Cardinals offensive line, and I could see thisChandler Jonesrevenge game going as well as theKhalil Mackrevenge game went against the Raiders last week. Vegas can run the ball, too. The Cardinals are still a little beat up, and I don't get a good vibe from them. Give me Raiders over 3.5 touchdowns for +100 as well."

Open:Cowboys -1, O/U 52
"Cincinnati was minus-five in turnovers and still would have beaten theSteelersif not for placekicking disasters. TheBengalshad 32 first downs. Dallas, on the other hand, looked discombobulated even beforeDak Prescott'sinjury. Plus, theCowboyslost left guardConnor McGovernand safetyJayron Kearseto multiple-week injuries.

Houston Texans at Denver Broncos
Time:Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS), stream on Paramount+ (click here)
Open:Broncos -10.5, O/U 42
TheBroncossuffered an upset loss to theSeahawksin Week 1, but with that emotional matchup out of the way,Russell Wilsonand Co. can now settle in and focus on becoming the AFC contender many view them as. At home in Week 2 vs. an inferior squad, we could see fireworks from the Broncos offense. Denver could be a good survivor pick this week if you didn't fall into the trap of picking them Week 1.
