Summary

  • SportsLine's Eric Cohen released exact score predictions for all 16 Week 2 NFL games, headlined by Dallas beating Washington 34-26.
  • Dallas is a 4.5-point favorite with a 50.5 total, and Cohen expects a high-scoring game based on the Cowboys' 13-2 record against Washington with Dak Prescott and the last four meetings averaging 55.5 points.
  • He said Washington should still score against a Dallas defense that ranked last in points allowed in 2025 after finishing second-worst in 2024, but sees the Cowboys holding on at home.
  • Cohen enters Week 2 with a 188-96-1 straight-up mark from 2025-26 and a 10-6 start on his 2026 NFL picks, while also projecting four teams to win by at least 14 points.
