Week 2 of the NFL finishes up on Monday night with a pair of games with the Buffalo Bills (-10, 47.5) hosting the Tennessee Titans at Highmark Stadium (ESPN/ESPN2 at7:15 p.m.) and the Philadelphia Eagles (-2.5, 50.5) hosting the Minnesota Vikings at Lincoln Financial Field (ABC/ESPN+ at 8:30 p.m.).

Schatz: Ten points seems like an absurdly big line considering that the Titans were the AFC's No. 1 seed last year and beat Buffalo during the regular season. But, right now, the Bills look like the best team in the NFL and we need to consider all of the players the Titans lost since last year — not just offseason losses such as Rodger Saffold, but the preseason injury to Harold Landry III (maybe their most important defensive player). I feel like a line this big suggests taking the underdog, but my projection system has the line as being right on. The best wager might be the under, as the Bills defense is strong enough to keep the Titans offense contained and the Bills might be running out a healthy lead in the fourth quarter (which would help keep their own score down).
