The 2024 NFL schedule began with one of the most competitive opening weekends in recent memory, with 11 of the 16 games decided by a single possession. The Week 2 NFL schedule only features one spread that is larger than a touchdown, with the Ravens favored by 9.5 at home against the Raiders in the Week 2 NFL odds. Meanwhile, there are six games this week with NFL spreads of a field goal or less. How should you handle Ravens vs. Raiders and how can you make sure you have your finger on the pulse of all 16 NFL lines? Before you make any Week 2 NFL picks, you need to see the NFL against the spread, over-under, and money line predictions powered by SportsLine AI .
Built using cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques by SportsLine's Data Science team, AI Predictions and AI Ratings are generated for each game. The AI predictions are determined by statistically learning from each team's historical data and then quantitatively evaluating the strength of the opponent's defense by assigning a numeric value out of 100 called a matchup score.
Once a prediction is formulated, the AI rating is generated using the prediction, the matchup score, and the odds of the market. For example, you could see an A-rating on an over bet if a team is facing a poor defense, their prediction differs from the line and there are favorable odds.
In addition, SportsLine AI is the first fully automated predictive model at SportsLine. It continuously refreshes on the most recent available data and can help you spot the biggest discrepancies in the lines. Last season, SportsLine's AI PickBot hit a whopping 1,674 4.5- and 5-star prop picks. Anyone who has followed it is way up.
After analyzing every game in Week 2, the AI PickBot says the Jaguars cover as 3.5-point favorites at home against the Browns . Jacksonville lost in devastating fashion in Week 1, blowing a 10-point halftime lead and losing on a last-second field goal in Miami. However, it wasn't all bad for the Jaguars, as they controlled the line of scrimmage for most of the game.
The Jags ran for 129 yards and averaged 4.9 yards per carry while limiting the Dolphins to 81 yards on the ground and just 3.2 yards per tote. Travon Walker had two sacks and Arik Armstead also got to Tua Tagovailoa and that pairing could pose problems for the Browns, who allowed Deshaun Watson to be sacked six times against the Cowboys. The AI PickBot is expecting the pressure to play a heavy role and gives Jaguars -3 a B rating for Sunday. See its other Week 2 football predictions and football picks at SportsLine .
