NFL Week 2 odds, picks: Jets continue to stay frisky, while Baker Mayfield torches former Browns team

Evaluating Week 1 results heading into the next round of NFL action, Tyler Sullivan compiled a 13-3 straight-up tally and a 9-7 mark against the spread, while going 2-3 on top lock selections after New York's road upset over Tennessee and Jacksonville's rout of Cleveland delivered covers. Buffalo survived an upset bid from Houston behind Josh Allen, leading to a Week 2 strategy that again favors taking points with the Jets and betting against the Browns.

Looking ahead to Carolina's visit to Atlanta, Cooper Rush is slated to make another start for the Falcons following a rough opener where his 54.9 passer rating ranked last across the league. Rush managed only 3.5 air yards per pass to rank 31st and recorded a 13.6% off-target rate, offering significant relief for a Panthers defensive unit that surrendered 59 points to Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson's Chicago offense.

At the same time, Bryce Young demonstrated notable efficiency for Carolina despite that lopsided loss, ranking sixth among quarterbacks with 0.29 expected points added per dropback.
