SURVIVOR
Each week I will pick two games, my “Play it Safe” selection as well as my “Out on a Limb” pick:
Play It Safe (0-1): Ravens vs. LV
After laying an egg in this spot a week ago I’m ready for a bounce back. The Ravens lost in a tough in Week 1 and I expect they’ll be itching to get back on the winning track as they welcome the Raiders to Baltimore in their home opener.
Out on a Limb (1-0): Chargers at CAR
I’m not big on taking teams on the road in this format early in the season, but picking against the Panthers worked out nicely last week and will be a strategy to deploy frequently in 2024. Expect the Chargers to get off to a surprising 2-0 start with a road victory here.
