NFL Picks Week 2: Cardinals Vs. Patriots

It should be no surprise to anyone who follows the NFL that the matchup between the Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots is being thought of as a lopsided affair with New England highly favored among the game's experts.

Among NFL insiders at Yahoo! Sports, CBS Sports, and ESPN, not one individual chose the Cardinals to prevail at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. on Sunday. Arizona is coming off a narrow and controversial win against the upstart Seattle Seahawks at home, and will enter the contest 1-0.

New England defeated the Tennessee Titans on the road during Week 1, 34-13, and will be ready to go in their home opener. Not only do the pundits agree, but so do the oddsmakers, who have New England favored by 15 points according to OddsShark.
