One of the things about football is that everyone has an opinion, and typically it is a very loud and vocal opinion.

it → have → opinion
Week 2 is one of the times when you’ll hear more of these opinions than ever because people have to react to everything they’ve seen after just one game.

Briefly, I’ll share who I’d buy some betting stock in, and who I’ll fade or be cautious about.

The Browns looked awful, and should remain terrible.

asserted
this → know → squad

he → complete → interceptions
Jeanty, as mentioned, was heavily involved.
asserted
Jeanty → mention → ?

asserted
they → expect → football
I’m sure there will be some adjustments for the Chargers, but what can they do?
asserted
they → ’m → what
Week 1 saw the Chargers give up 393 total yards of offense, including 277 through the air.
asserted
Chargers → see → air

I have to expect their defense will be better in this one.

I do expect them to load the box and dare Cousins to be the one to win the game.
asserted
them → expect → game
Justin Herbert should feast on the Raiders' secondary, so this doesn’t seem like a terrible bet.
asserted
this → feast → bet
However, I think expecting the Chargers defense to improve and the Raiders offense to not be quite as strong is the best angle.
asserted
offense → think → ?
I’m taking the Raiders to score under 18.5 points in this one.
asserted
I → take → one
