Summary
Seven marquee Week 2 matchups drew CBS Sports picks, with both analysts backing Houston to beat Cincinnati and both taking the Rams to cover 7 points against the Giants.
Buffalo drew split spread picks but both writers projected a Bills win over Detroit in Thursday's opener, citing the Lions' offensive-line injuries and a game total of 54.5.
Kansas City also was favored by both to beat Indianapolis on Sunday night after Kenneth Walker's 173-yard debut, though only one analyst backed the Chiefs to cover 6.5 points.
Denver's Monday-night collapse made Broncos-Jaguars the sharpest disagreement: one analyst called Jacksonville 'for real,' while the other expected Bo Nix and Denver to rebound at home.
The forecasts lean heavily on Week 1 overreaction risk, with Baltimore, New England and Houston all picked to steady themselves while teams like the Broncos, Rams and Saints try to reset.
