Best early NFL Week 2 picks: Fade offences in Steelers vs. Patriots matchup

After Sunday's NFL slate, we're targeting bets we like early before potential line movement later in the week.

Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots are playing a defensive-minded game in Week 2. Las Vegas Raiders and Cincinnati Bengals are poised for big bounce-back weeks.

Pittsburgh and New England's offences combined for 538 yards in Week 1. The Steelers' offensive line is among the worst in recent memory. Pittsburgh's defence is still elite. New York's offensive playcalling was criticized this offseason. Bill Belichick's team scored seven points against Miami. Pittsburgh had seven sacks in the NFL in week 1, the most in NFL.

Bengals are favored by 6.5 points over Dallas. The Cowboys are without their star player Dak Prescott. Cincinnati's defence did well against Pittsburgh. Joe Burrow's offence will have an easier time against a bad O-line.

Raiders are favored to cover at home against the Cardinals. Arizona's defence is struggling without Chandler Jones. The Raiders won their first game against Chargers. Vegas scored 16 points in the second half.
