Week 2 of the NFL season is in the books and what a week it was. There was plenty of drama across the slate, including an early surprise candidate for Game of the Year between the Giants and Cowboys. While I was unable to cash in on my Week 2 mega parlay, I did cash back in Week 1 at +2512 odds! Can we make it 2 out of 3 this week? It’s time to find out. With the Week 3 Sunday slate on the horizon, let’s get right into my NFL Week 2 mega parlay that pays out at nearly 30/1 odds at DraftKings Sportsbook.
Rams ML (+154)
Titans +5.5 (-115)
Browns +8.5 (-115)
Jaguars -1.5 (-108)
Cowboys ML (-125)
NFL Week 2 parlay odds: +2977
Los Angeles Rams ML (+154) over Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles are certainly vulnerable at the moment, as the defense has taken a noticeable step back and the offense has been a total slog under new offensive coordinator At some point, Jalen Hurts and this offense is going to have to do something worth talking about, and I don’t see that being the case against a Rams defensive front that has quietly been one of the best units in the sport through the first 2 weeks of the campaign. On the other side, Matthew Stafford is still one of the sharpest minds at the quarterback position and the wide receiver tandem of Davante Adams and Puka Nacua appears to be a very successful pairing in Sean McVay’s offense. I’ve got full confidence in the Rams’ ability to go in Philadelphia and win the game outright.

Tennessee Titans +5.5 (-115) vs Indianapolis Colts
This has all the makings of a trap game in the AFC South, as the Indianapolis Colts have been the surprise of the season thus far with their 2-0 record against a Titans team that looked pretty poor over their first 2 games, both of them losses. However, Daniel Jones’ run of form has to come to an end at some point, and it could come in a tricky road spot against a Titans team that has performed well as an underdog at home in recent seasons. Over the last 11 years, underdogs that are winless after 2 weeks have put together an incredible 44-24 (64.7%) against the spread mark. Let’s look at the Titans here to cash at home and keep this one within a possession.
Cleveland Browns +8.5 (-115) vs Green Bay Packers
While the Packers look like a bonafide Super Bowl contender, this has the potential to be a really sleepy spot in a nonconference matchup against a Browns defense that has the potential to be elite this season. In fact, the Browns were able to bottle Baltimore’s elite offense last week, as the Ravens only finished with 241 yards in that game and Derrick Henry only tallied 23 yards on the ground. On the other side, the Packers offensive line injuries — including right tackle Zach Tom — do give me real pause this week when evaluating if Green Bay can be successful on the ground against this Browns defensive front. The Packers should emerge with a victory, but this one might be closer than what projections would indicate.

Jacksonville Jaguars -1.5 over Houston Texans (-108)
At this point, there isn’t much to like about the Texans. Sitting at 0-2 on the season and still waiting on a good game from CJ Stroud. More importantly, the Texans couldn’t protect Stroud a week ago, and it’s hard to imagine that this changes on Sunday. Following a demoralizing loss on Monday, Houston has to go on the road to face the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road. The Jaguars are 1-1 but probably should be 2-0 after letting a 4th-quarter lead slip away against the Bengals last week. The Jaguars do have some strengths, as they lead the entire NFL in rushing to this point, averaging nearly 170 yards per contest on the ground. If Trevor Lawrence can play mostly mistake-free football, this is an AFC South showdown that the hosts should win and cover the short number.

Dallas Cowboys ML (-125) over Chicago Bears
After starting the season 0-2, the Bears could desperately use a win in this spot, but nothing I’ve seen from Caleb Williams (or the leaky Chicago defense) gives me the impression that’s likely. On the other side, Dak Prescott is lightyears ahead of Williams, particularly at the line of scrimmage this season. The Cowboys have a much better decision-maker at the quarterback position, and it shows in the productivity of their offense. Both defenses are nothing to write home about, but the Bears defense could be the worst in football and this Dallas offense is not one you want to face with a leaky secondary. Let’s take Dallas to gut out a road win in Chicago.
