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

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
