Despite a rough start to the NFL gambling season, Pat McAfee came into Week 2 with his head held high.
The former Indianapolis Colts punter was hoping to rectify his 0-5 start by betting on every single NFL game. He releases his gambling choices weekly on The Pat McAfee Show.
Unfortunately for McAfee, things didn’t go as planned. His Week 2 betting picks went 7-8 when the dust finally settled. That brings his overall NFL betting record down to 7-13 for the season.
