Did Pat McAfee Win? Bengals, Packers Picks Headline A Winning NFL Week 2

Posted on September 21, 2020Last Updated on October 12, 2020

Football is in full swing, and former Colts punter Pat McAfee is getting in on the action.

The FanDuel personality makes betting picks for his viewers every week. His picks typically come through The Pat McAfee Show and College GameDay.

Last week was good one for McAfee, who ended up winning more bets than he lost.

However, his betting slate last week didn’t include NFL games. That wasn’t the case for Week 2, as McAfee hopped in on seven of the weekend’s games.

Between his college football and NFL picks, McAfee lined up his second-straight winning week of the season.

Pat McAfee’s NFL Picks

You won if you took all of Pat’s Picks for Week 2 of NFL betting.

Overall, McAfee went 4-3 on his NFL bets. PlayIndiana will be keeping track of McAfee’s record throughout the entire NFL season, so check back in every week to see how things are going.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns

Pat’s Pick: Bengals +6.5

Pat’s explanation: 

“Don’t let Joe Burrow hang around, Joe Burrow’s going to make a play. If it wasn’t for, we’ve said this a couple times now, the worst cramp in the history of professional sports is what some doctors are calling it for Randy Bullock, they go to overtime and probably get a win. They’re probably 1-0 right now and we’re talking about how Joe Burrow has one of the most legendary first games in history, but instead it’s the complete opposite. Can’t go 0-2 tonight against the Brownies on Thursday Night Football.”

Final Score: Browns 35, Bengals 30

Did Pat win? Yes

Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers

Pat’s Pick: Packers -6.5

Pat’s explanation:

“The Lions are banged up in the back end. I would assume Aaron potentially throws for four, five, seven or eight hundred yards.”

Final Score: Packers 42, Lions 21

Did Pat win? Yes

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Pat’s Pick: Chiefs -8.5

Pat’s explanation:

“Chiefs at Chargers +8.5. Not going to be enough. Chiefs are going to potentially just rout them.”

Final Score: Chiefs 23, Chargers 20

Did Pat win? No

Pat’s Pick: Broncos +7

Final Score: Steelers 26, Broncos 21

Did Pat win? Yes

San Francisco 49ers vs. New York Jets

Pat’s Pick: 49ers -7

Pat’s explanation:

“I don’t know if they had +70 if this would matter. I think the Jets lose by a lot here.”

Final Score: 49ers 31, Jets 13

Did Pat win? Yes

Washington Football Team vs. Arizona Cardinals

Pat’s Pick: Washington +7

Pat’s explanation:

“Kyler Murray looked very good, but I like that Washington Football Team. Seven is a lot of points in my eyes.”

Final Score: Cardinals 30, Washington 15

Did Pat win? No

New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks

Pat’s Pick: Patriots +4

Final Score: Seahawks 35, Patriots 30

His weekly College GameDay picks went 2-1 over the weekend, bringing his overall record for the season up to 4-2.

Marshall Thundering Herd vs. Appalachian State Mountaineers

Pat’s Pick: Marshall+5.5

Pat’s explanation:

“This week I’m going Marshall +5.5 over App State HAMMER THAT THING! They’ve got a red shirt freshman quarterback named Grant Wells from Charleston, West Virginia. I don’t know how he ended up with Doc Holliday and the Thundering Herd and not at WVU.”

Final Score: Marshall 17, Appalachian State 7

Did Pat win? Yes

Oklahoma State Cowboys vs. Tulsa Golden Hurricane

Pat’s Pick: Oklahoma State -23

Pat’s explanation:

“Oklahoma State still has the Canadian Destroyer Chuba Hubbard and this offseason they went through some stuff over there. I think they learned a lot about each other. I think they came together. Go ahead and HAMMER OK State -23 over Tulsa.”

Final Score: Oklahoma State 16, Tulsa 7

Did Pat win? No

Cincinnati Bearcats vs. Austin Peay Governors

Pat’s Pick: Cincinnati -34.5

Pat’s explanation:

“Cincinnati. The state of Cincinnati. Luke Fickell and I have had conversations. They’ve got four senior D-lineman up front. Desmond Ridder looks better than he’s ever looked.”

Final Score: Cincinnati 55, Austin Peay 20

Did Pat win? Yes

McAfee betting record

Overall, between college football and the NFL, McAfee is 8-5 on his betting picks.

Pat’s Picks continue to shine in the world of college football betting, but that might not last forever. He will try for another solid week as College GameDay heads to Florida next.

Since the former Colt is an NFL expert, his betting picks for Week 3 might end up being just as solid as last week’s selections.

With a ton of football left to play, he’ll have plenty of opportunities keep his winning record going. Check in with PlayIndiana every Monday to see McAfee’s updated stats.
