However, Ben Roethlisberger wasn't particularly impressive and the team still struggled to run the ball. This week, they find themselves on the other side as -225 favorites at home against the Raiders.ĭespite the big win by Pittsburgh last week, I'm not sure any of the big question marks entering the season were answered in the affirmative. Last week, the Steelers were one of the teams that upset a large favorite. I still wouldn't be rushing to lay -250 on the road. Sure, one is coached by a first-time head coach and the other is coached by a living legend. It's a divisional matchup between two rookie quarterbacks. I don't think I'm going out on a limb by saying Wilson's ceiling is likely higher than that of Jones. The Jets did a terrible job of protecting Zach Wilson in their opener against the Panthers, but the rookie quarterback still showed flashes of why he was the second player taken in this past season's draft. Mac Jones is just as prone to having rookie moments as the quarterbacks opposing the Patriots. That's the main reason why New England finds itself a -250 favorite on the road.īut how many of Belichick's wins came when he himself had a rookie quarterback? Not too many. Yes, Bill Belichick is 21-6 against rookie quarterbacks in his career.

Are they down on themselves? Will they be able to get up for a game against a much lesser opponent? Can Baker Mayfield quickly forget the game-sealing interception he threw? We will see. They also aren't a young team, so veterans are more likely to put forth a professional effort every weekend.Īlso, will there be any lasting effects from Cleveland's loss in Week 1? The Browns came so close and probably deserved to beat the Chiefs in a measuring-stick game. Watt and DeAndre Hopkins are gone, but there are still some solid players on this team.

However, what if Houston is a lot more competitive of a team than we expected? Remember, many had the Texans as a good team prior to last season before they fell off the face of the earth. Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield hands off to running back Nick Chubb in Cleveland's Week 1 loss against Kansas City.
