Tom Brady hasn’t won a regular season game against the NFC South rival New Orleans Saints in four starts as quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs are favored by 2.5 points to snap that streak, according to the latest NFL odds from Caesars Sportsbook, when they visit New Orleans on Sunday. Should you support any of these teams with your NFL parades? Meanwhile, reigning league MVP Rodgers will look to help the Green Bay Packers rebound from a nasty 23-7 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. But they face another NFC North rival when they host the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football.

Top NFL Expert Picks of Week 2
After looking at the Week 2 schedule, Hartstein found the best value plays for his game, and he’s backing Denver -10 against the Texans. The Broncos fell to the Seahawks in Week 1, but that game presented a tense atmosphere with Denver quarterback Russell Wilson returning to Seattle for the first time. Wilson still managed to throw for 340 yards, and the Broncos’ home opener should be a whole different matter in Week 2.
The Texans defense had a lot of trouble last week in a 20-20 tie with the Colts, as Matt Ryan had 352 passing yards and Jonathan Taylor rushed for 161. On the other hand, the defense from Denver came to play against Seattle and seemed to get rolling as the game progressed. “Denver’s elite defense started to click in the second half on Monday night,” Hartstein told SportsLine. The Broncos allowed 34 total yards in the second half, just 9 in the fourth quarter. Find out who else to pick in Week 2 here.
