7 Week 2 themes lead Solak’s analysis, topped by his view that Ben Johnson’s Bears offense is uniquely equipped to handle Brian Flores’ blitz-heavy Vikings after Chicago’s 59-point Week 1 outburst.
60% success on Houston runs between the tackles against Buffalo underpins his optimism about the Texans, while he argues Cincinnati’s four-takeaway opener says less than its still-unfinished defensive rebuild.
130 receiving yards from Dalton Kincaid drive his case that the Bills tight end is Buffalo’s real offensive unlock, especially ahead of a Thursday matchup with a Lions secondary he sees as vulnerable.
0 points is his boldest prediction for Week 2, with Tennessee’s disjointed offense and shaky line facing an Eagles front that produced 19 pressures in Week 1.
34 Jaguars points against Cleveland also fuel his early Trevor Lawrence MVP flier, though Solak frames that and other extra inklings as tests that need several more games.
