Week 2 · 2026 season

NFL computer picks — this week's full slate

Every matchup below is graded by our model against the current market. The edge next to each pick is how many points our projection differs from the sportsbook line — the bigger the gap, the stronger the play. 7 of 8 games cleared our edge threshold this week. Click any game for the full preview.

Reading the cards: Strong plays clear our highest edge threshold; Lean plays are smaller edges worth a lighter unit; Pass means no edge worth betting. Auto-updated Tuesday, September 15, 2026 at 3:00 AM EDT.

How to bet these picks responsibly

Size by confidence

More on strong plays, less on leans. A flat 1-unit strong / 0.5-unit lean plan keeps variance manageable.

Shop for the number

Half a point matters. Always take the best available line across your sportsbooks.

Bet edges early

When the model disagrees sharply with an opener, the market often corrects toward us. Early bettors get the best price.
