3 articles · Updated · NFL.com · Sep 17
Summary
Five NFL.com editors published picks for every Week 2 game, with Buffalo favored by 5.5 points over Detroit in Thursday night’s opener at its new $2.2 billion stadium.
Week 1 results frame the slate: Brooke Cersosimo leads the panel at 13-3 straight up, while the consensus picks stand 5-0 straight and 2-1 against the spread.
Several selections hinge on fresh Week 1 storylines, including Atlanta’s unsettled quarterback room, Baltimore’s 506-yard opener, and Chicago’s 59-point outburst under Ben Johnson.
Other highlighted spots include Cincinnati over Houston on defensive improvement, New England to rebound from Drake Maye’s three-interception collapse, and San Francisco laying 13.5 against Miami.
The full board runs through Monday night, when the Rams are picked to beat the Giants as Los Angeles tries to avoid an 0-2 start after its disastrous opener.
