Football season is back! Whether you like to bet game totals, sides, or player props, I have something in here for you, and try to cover a little bit of everything!

This year, I started my own free sports betting newsletter, and the good people here at RotoBaller are allowing me to share my picks and data with you here in this space! You can access the free substack here and sign up for daily emails in addition to viewing the picks daily here on the RotoBaller website.

In this article, I'll be providing my favorite NFL betting picks for week two of the 2022 NFL season. The odds on these bets vary from book to book and are constantly changing. I primarily use FanDuel and DraftKings sportsbooks, but I would strongly encourage you to shop for the best odds at whatever books you use daily. I would also advise checking back later in the week as I may add bets depending on odds changing or specific props becoming available after I first post.

NFL Betting Picks: Player Props for Week 2

Okay, here we go. I have a lot more props this week than last and waiting one more day really helped a bit to get all the spots I wanted. The only bad part is sometimes these numbers move quite a bit or a lot of juice is added if you don’t jump on them earlier in the week. It’s a trade-off.

Nick Chubb over 83.5 rushing yards (-115 DK)

Chubb went well over 100 yards last week and his offensive line should be maul this NYJ front seven. The Browns are going to keep pounding the rock and ask Jacoby Brissett to just be a game manager.

Dalvin Cook over 70.5 rushing yards (-115 DK)

Cook had 90 yards rushing in week one, and the Eagles got gashed on the ground by Swift and Williams last week. I expect Minnesota to establish the run on Monday night.

Antonio Gibson over 88.5 rushing/receiving yards (-115 DK)

Gibson had 130 scrimmage yards last week and 21 total touches. He was effective as a runner and receiver and this game is going to be loaded with offense. The Eagles ran at will on Detroit, too.

Javonte Williams over 83.5 rushing/receiving yards (-120 DK)

I’m going with the scrimmage yards here with Javonte, but I like his rushing prop, too. He only had 7 carries, but Denver was forced to throw a lot and he ended up with 11 targets as a result. Either way, he’s electric with the ball in his hands and he’s going to touch it 15-20 times on Sunday in a good match-up.

Carson Wentz over 247.5 passing yards (-115 DK)

Went threw for 313 on 41 attempts in week one! Washington had one of the higher passing rates of any team last week and again, I think this game really could shoot out with neither defense being very good and both teams playing pretty fast (highest projected pace on the slate).

Pat Freiermuth over 36.5 receiving yards (-120 DK)

My man ‘Muth doubled this number last week and had 11 targets from Trubisky. I think he’s going to continue to be heavily involved for the Steelers, who know that Mitch isn’t a downfield thrower.

Amon-Ra St. Brown over 6.5 receptions (+100 DK)

St. Brown had 8 last week and 12 total targets, proving that his finish to 2021 wasn’t a fluke. He is the safety blanket for Goff on a lot of shorter routes.

Logan Thomas over 3.5 receptions (+130 DK)

He had only 3 catches last week but was targeted six times and could see his snap count rise with one game under his belt. Washington was probably taking it easy on him as he was coming off a major injury. These odds are nice!

Davante Adams over 7.5 receptions (-110 DK)

This is a smash bet! Adams had 17 targets last week and Carr is likely to continue to keep feeding him the ball in this passing game. It’s a great match-up against the Cards, too.

Jarvis Landry over 4.5 receptions (+115 DK)

Landry was a bit of a surprise with 7 catches on 9 targets in week one, but only because a lot of us (myself included) were focused on Chris Olave. Landry has always been a great slot receiver who can win match-ups between the hashes, and New Orleans is going to have to throw. Targeting the Bucs with slot receivers is a trend we were on last year, too.

NFL Betting Picks: Player Prop Parlays

Understand that parlaying any type of bet immediately increases the risk, but also helps the odds. I am mainly parlaying props where the straight odds are so poor that I would rather combine them with another low-risk bet to get plus odds. I also found a few pre-made same-game prop parlays on FanDuel I liked.

• Jonathan Taylor / Davante Adams anytime touchdown (+144 DK)
• Ja'Marr Chase o5.5 rec/Saquon Barkley o3.5 rec (+157 DK)

FanDuel specials:

• Myles Garrett to record a sack and Chubb 100+ rushing (+300)
• Justin Jefferson and AJ Brown both have 100+ receiving (+500)
• De’Andre Swift and Antonio Gibson both have 100+ scrimmage yards (+700)

I hope you find my data and picks helpful and profitable! Thanks for checking out my picks and content here at RotoBaller!
