Last week I went 5 - 11 against the spread. We all have bad weeks, right?

Being born and raised in New York I have been a New York Giants fan my whole life but I didn't know anything about any other teams until I became an adult.

When I met my husband every Sunday was a football day... all day. I decided if I wanted to hang out with him and actually enjoy it I had to know more about all of the teams and not just the Giants.

I was a bartender at the time and would ask all of the big betters that I would take care of who their #1 pick of the week was, then I would put them all together and bet a 6pt 5-team parlay. (I didn't know what it was at first either) I did really well and learned so much about betting and football. It was a win-win (most weeks) I got to hang out with my husband during the football days and won a few bucks here and there.

Betting doesn't have to be scary and you don't have to put a ton of money down to win or just to get into games that you wouldn't otherwise get into.

They even make betting so easy now you can do it from your phone and you don't have to go to the sportsbook and get embarrassed when you have no idea what you're doing! I am not a degenerate I just love football and getting into all things football!

I bring to you Aimee's picks for week 2 of the NFL!

Week 1 * 8 - 7 - 1
Week 2 * 5 - 11

DISCLAIMER: I think I'm pretty good at betting on football but please don't put your children's college fund on these picks.

Las Vegas Raiders at Tennessee Titans

Raiders -2

I am once again going to take the Raiders. They have to come through for me one week right?

Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings

Vikings -6

This is a division game. I gotta go with the home team on this one.

Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots

Ravens - 2.5

I have to go with the Ravens this week. They had a tough 4th quarter loss last week they are going to come out strong this week.

New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers

Saints -3

I know the Saints don't look great but the Panthers for sure don't look good.

Houston Texans at Chicago Bears

Bears -3

The Bears are comin after the winless Texans for sure.

Kansas City Chiefs at Indianapolis Colts

Chiefs -5.5

The Chiefs take this by more than a touchdown.

Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Commanders

Philly -6.5

Philly is one of the 6 teams undefeated after week 2 I don't see them having a problem with the Commanders

Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins

Bills -5.5

I think this will be the toughest match for the Bills so far but they still take this one no issues.

Cincinnati Bengals at New York Jets

Bengals -5

This one was tough for me. I was all in on the Bengals the first 2 weeks and they lost both. But they won't lose to the Jets

Jacksonville Jaguars at LA Chargers

Jacksonville +7

I don't think that the Jags will necessarily win but I think it will be a close game, especially if Herbert isn't in full force

Atlanta Falcons Seattle Seahawks

Seahawks -1

It's a pick em. We all know how loud it is in Seattle that will be the difference in this game

LA Rams at Arizona Cardinals

Cardinals +3.5

I'm hoping the Rams win this but by JUST a field goal.

Green Bay Packers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Bucs -1

This will be the best game this week I just think the Bucs will have the home field advantage though I would like the Packers to win.

San Francisco 49ers at Denver Broncos

Broncos +2

This is a toss-up for me I just feel Russ is going to pull it together and get a big win this week

Dallas Cowboys at NY Giants

Giants -1

I, in my heart of hearts can never ever say the Cowboys will beat the NY Giants. As a Giants fan this is the only game we want to win! MUST WIN!
