Football handicapper Sean Treppedi is in his first season in the Post’s NFL Bettor’s Guide.
Seahawks (-3.5) over PATRIOTS
If you’ve suffered the indignity of being bounced from your survival pool a week into the NFL season, that’s because of the Bengals’ poor offensive execution, not any skills by the Patriots on either side of the ball.
Throw Rhamondre Stevenson some credit, but the Pats were still worse in offensive yards per game.
Seattle’s defense held Denver to 231 total yards and forced three turnovers. Now the offensive line in New England is far worse.
The Seahawks’ offensive talent showed its potential when it stepped up in the second half last week.
Kenneth Walker, who eclipsed 100 yards with a score, poses a heavier threat to the Pats’ rush defense in this one.
Jets (-4) over TITANS
Instead of pulling the ejection handle on the Jets’ season, let’s consider Aaron Rodgers returning from a 20-month hiatus against the NFC’s premier pass rush.
We still saw flashes of his vintage self, and while the Titans gave up the fewest yards per play in Week 1, it worked against a rookie quarterback.
Tennessee looks to prove that 17-point lead was a fluke despite not allowing an offensive touchdown, but if Will Levi’s three turnovers looked bad against the Bears, it won’t get any easier compared to Sauce Gardner and Co.
Bet on the NFL?
The Titans burned the public players hugely last week.
Rodgers and an underrated cast are playing with more upside now that the rust is being shaken off.
Last week: 1-1. Eagles-Packers Over (W), Commanders (L).
