NFL Week 2: Social Media’s Best Bets

A Texans cheerleader looks toward the action during a 2024 NFL preseason game.
NFL Week 2 brings another tidal wave of football action. Which plays or "best bets" have built steam on social media prior to the weekend?

Week 2 around the NFL will bring many storylines, such as dueling (young) star quarterbacks and birds of prey pitted against one another. Thursday’s Dolphins vs. Bills matchup already kicked off the weekly schedule (with a scary outcome for the Dolphins’ Tua Tagovailoa), but from there, what are the remaining best bets across social media?

Surveying The Field

In 2024, social media and sports betting go hand-in-hand.

I sat down with Greg Ivory of Yahoo Sports a few days ago. He’s on the Texans against the spread (ATS) versus Chicago for NFL Week 2. With both C.J. Stroud and Caleb Williams on the field, this will be a marquee contest (Sunday Night Football) hosted in Houston.

Notably, the chalk has gone 4-1 in primetime games this season, which included an undefeated opening week.

Let’s peruse social media to find the best bets — or ones that are building public steam — in regards to Week 2.
