The first week of the 2018 regular season in the National Football League was not kind to head coaches making their debut, as rookie coaches went a combined 0-7 on the week, including both Monday Night Football contests. Matt Patricia saw his Detroit Lions take a 48-17 whipping from the New York Jets, and then Jon Gruden’s return to Oakland was spoiled in a 33-13 rout at the hands of the Los Angeles Rams. We’ve picked out three matchups that we like from a straight up NFL Week 2 betting perspective, so take a look as you plan your wagering strategy for this coming week. As always, home teams are in all caps.
