After a wild NFL Week 1, it’s time to settle into the new football season as Week 2 is here. We start with an NFC banger on Thursday, with the Washington Commanders and Green Bay Packers squaring off. So, without further ado, let’s jump right into the ClutchPoints 2025 NFL Week 2 picks, predictions, and odds column.
What did we learn last week? That’s the question bettors have to ask themselves heading into Week 2.
Well, last week we learned a lot about which teams might be really bad, and which teams may be a little better than we think. The New York Giants and Miami Dolphins seem like they may fall in that first category, while the Indianapolis Colts and Cleveland Browns looked like the latter.
On the docket this weekend, we have that big-time Thursday matchup, a staggering nine early-window Sunday games, just three in the late window for some reason, a Sunday nighter, and a Monday night doubleheader.
We started off the season hot, picking winners. In Week 1, we went 11-5 straight up. Against the tough first-week spreads, we went 7-9 vs. the number, which keeps us in a solid season-long position heading into the Week 2 slate.

So, let’s get right into the NFL Week 2 picks, predictions, and odds.

The Packers came through for us last week when we faded the public and took them to cover over their NFC North rival Lions. Now, they are favored once again against one of the best teams in the conference last season, and plenty of people are taking the points in what could be a close game.
That said, the Commanders didn’t do all that much to impress last week against the Giants, and they go to Wisconsin on a short week. Matt LaFleur’s teams have also been excellent covering early in the season, so we’ll take the Packers to win with relative comfort.
Pick: Packers 24-17
This is by far the biggest spread on the NFL Week 2 slate, as the Ravens looked like the best team in the league for 56 minutes on Sunday night in Buffalo. A ticked-off Ravens team playing one of the least talented teams seems like the recipe for a blowout.
However, the Browns played another AFC North rival, the Bengals, tough in Week 1, although that may be more about Joe Burrow and company. Still, Joe Flacco is a professional quarterback, and in a divisional game, this seems to scream backdoor cover.
Pick: Ravens 30-20
This is another game with a presumably bad team coming off a pretty decent showing, as the Titans put up a solid fight against a Broncos team that most pundits are picking for big things this season.
Often, though, the more tape the league gets on a rookie quarterback,...
