NFL Week 2: Ballgame’s Beauties
Updated: Sep 17
Week 2 of the 2026 NFL campaign comes with a dose of acquired intel, as the seasonal debuts delivered a host of revelations and lessons learned.
T-Ballgame delivers the week’s three most alluring bets in accordance with his all-time favorite beauties:
Raquel Welch – The bombshell of the bunch, an enticing object of your gambling desires.
Sophia Loren – A highly attractive proposition that arouses your bettor interest.
Salma Hayek – An intriguing wager with that “something about it” quality you find mildly irresistible.
New Orleans Saints @ Baltimore Ravens (O/U 46.5)
Sunday, 1 p.m.
Baltimore showcased its versatility with stead servings of QB Lamar Jackson and RB Derrick Henry in Jesse Minter’s head coaching debut with the Ravens. Ringing up 41 points in Indy, it’s hard to imagine the fireworks won’t continue at M&T Bank Stadium against a Saints defense that ranked 16th in 2025.
Similarly, young Tyler Shough exhibited grit in airing out 400 yards and rallying the Saints to an overtime affair, albeit a 31-30 loss, with Detroit. With both clubs exhibiting offensive potency, our Salma of the week favors another high-yardage outpour.
The Bet: Over 46.5
Philadelphia Eagles -7 @ Tennessee Titans
Sunday, 1 p.m.
This one isn’t so much based on the juju of the Eagles that was so memorably etched into the 2012 film Silver Linings Playbook. Excelsior aside, my Sophia Loren of the week is more about the ugly duckling on the opposite sideline, the one known as the Tennessee Titans. Robert Saleh’s crew amassed a measly 195 total yards in a double-digit defeat to the Jets and looked every bit the bottom feeder as projected by preseason pundits.
Philly, without elite WR corps, was less than spectacular in eeking out a 24-22 win in Washington. Nonetheless, we’re betting the Birds can soar above the 7-point margin that Vegas bookies are laying.
The Bet: Eagles -7
Indianapolis Colts +6.5 @ Kansas City Chiefs
Sunday, 8:20 p.m.
The Chiefs paraded into Mile High Stadium Monday night with a host of looming question marks, only to emerge with answers that delighted their devout fanbase. Not only had Patrick Mahomes returned to prime form, but the addition of Kenneth Walker III was everything advertised and more. Even more promising was a young, high-flying KC defense that held Bo Nix & Co to under 200 total yards.
On the flipside, the Colts were torn to smithereens by a fierce Baltimore front that struck with a similarly balanced air and ground attack. Throw in primetime Arrowhead fervor and 6.5 points just seems like a little too little in our Raquel Welch of the week.
The Bet: Chiefs -6.5
More Sexy Picks to Consider:
Seattle Seahawks -3.5 over Arizona Cardinals
Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears, Over 48.5 points
San Francisco 49ers -13.5 over Miami Dolphins
Last Week: 1-2
Season: 1-2
