MATCH PREVIEW

The Cowboys host their home opener against the Saints at AT&T Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Saints are riding high after a 47-10 win over the Panthers at Caesars Superdome, their largest winning margin since 2018. Derek Carr was sharp, completing 19 of 23 passes for 200 yards and three touchdowns, while the Saints’ defense stifled the Panthers, holding them to just 193 total yards and forcing three turnovers.

On the other side, the Cowboys are coming off a 33-17 win over the Browns. Their defense was relentless, intercepting Deshaun Watson twice and holding him to one of the lowest passer ratings of his career. With Dallas boasting a stellar 16-1 record over their last 17 games at AT&T Stadium, New Orleans faces a formidable challenge as they look to continue their early-season success.

MATCH PREVIEW

In a rematch of their 2023 Divisional Round clash, the Buccaneers and Lions meet at Ford Field on Sunday afternoon.

In their previous meeting, the Lions controlled the game from start to finish, securing a spot in the NFC Championship. Detroit began the 2024 season with a thrilling 26-20 overtime win against the Rams, with Jameson Williams playing a pivotal role.

Williams caught a 52-yard touchdown pass and racked up a career-high 121 receiving yards, helping the Lions extend their home dominance with nine wins in their last 10 games at Ford Field.

On the other side, the Buccaneers kicked off their 2024 campaign with an impressive 37-20 victory over the Commanders. Baker Mayfield shined, completing 24 of 30 passes for 289 yards and four touchdowns, two of which went to Mike Evans.

Mayfield finished with a near-perfect passer rating of 146.4, showing the Buccaneers’ offensive prowess as they look to continue their strong start on the road.

PICK – TAMPA BAY +7.5

  • Romeo Doubs has a TD in 3 of the Packers’ last 4 games vs AFC opponents.
  • Josh Jacobs has a TD in his last 2 games vs the Colts.

MATCH PREVIEW

Both coming off losses in their openers, the Colts and Packers meet at Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon.

The Packers are reeling after a 34-29 loss to the Eagles at Neo Química Arena in Brazil, made worse by the loss of quarterback Jordan Love to a sprained MCL, potentially sidelining him for an extended period. Malik Willis is expected to step in as the temporary starter.

The Colts almost completed a big comeback in their Week 1 divisional matchup against the Texans, scoring three second-half touchdowns but ultimately falling short 29-27.

Indianapolis boasts one of the league’s strongest rushing attacks, averaging 120.2 yards per game and 4.3 yards per carry, along with 21 rushing touchdowns since the start of last season—numbers that could cause trouble for a Packers defense that ranks in the bottom 10 for opponent rushing yards and ground scores over that same stretch

  • DeAndre Hopkins has a TD in 4 of the Titans’ last 5 games as underdogs vs AFC opponents.
  • Tony Pollard has a TD in his last 3 games.

MATCH PREVIEW

Both coming off losses in their openers, the Jets and Titans will face off at Nissan Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Titans squandered a 17-point second-quarter lead in their 24-17 defeat to the Bears at Soldier Field in Week 1. Tennessee’s defense held up well, but quarterback Will Levis struggled, throwing for only 127 yards and two interceptions, including a costly one returned for a go-ahead touchdown.

The Jets also faltered in their 32-19 loss to the 49ers at Levi’s Stadium, where their run defense was exposed, allowing 180 rushing yards. Aaron Rodgers’ return from injury didn’t go as planned, with the veteran quarterback managing 167 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.

Heading into Week 2, the Jets will aim to tighten up their run defense and force the Titans into passing situations, where their secondary, which ranked second in passing yards allowed and seventh in sacks last season, could take advantage.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS @ MINNESOTA VIKINGS

  • Brandon Aiyuk has a TD in 4 of the 49ers’ last 5 regular season road games.
  • Justin Jefferson has a TD in 3 of the Vikings’ last 4 games.

MATCH PREVIEW

Both off to a nice start, the 49ers and Vikings will meet at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Vikings eased to a 28-6 win over the Giants at MetLife Stadium in Week 1, thanks in part to Aaron Jones, who racked up 94 yards and a touchdown in his Minnesota debut from just 14 carries.

Meanwhile, the 49ers beat the Jets 32-19, scoring on eight straight drives. Jordan Mason stepped up in the absence of Christian McCaffrey, rushing for 147 yards and a touchdown.

Minnesota’s defense, which excelled against the Giants, will face a much tougher challenge this week. San Francisco’s passing game, which ranks in the top five for passing yards (255.8), completion percentage (68.3%), and passing touchdowns (33) since last season, poses a big threat that could test the Vikings’ secondary.

PICK – SAN FRANCISCO -5.5


SEATTLE SEAHAWKS @ NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

  • The Patriots have lost 7 of their last 8 games at Gillette Stadium.

  • Tyler Lockett has a TD in 3 of the Seahawks’ last 5 games as road favs.

MATCH PREVIEW

Meeting for the first time since Week 2 of the 2020 season, the Seahawks and Patriots will square off at Gillette Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Patriots pulled off an upset in Week 1, beating the Bengals 16-10 at Paycor Stadium. New England’s defense was the key, holding Joe Burrow to just 164 passing yards without a touchdown. On the offensive side, Rhamondre Stevenson had a great game, rushing for 120 yards and a TD.

The Seahawks also started their 2024 with a win, defeating the Broncos 26-20 at Lumen Field. Seattle’s defense spoiled Bo Nix’s debut, intercepting him twice and limiting him to just 138 passing yards on 42 attempts. On offense, Kenneth Walker rushed for 103 yards and a touchdown.

If Walker can recover from an oblique injury in time for the game, he’ll face a tough challenge, as the Patriots have excelled at stopping the run, ranking top five since last season in rushing yards allowed (91.9 per game) and yards per carry (3.3)

PICK – SEATTLE -3.5


NEW YORK GIANTS @ WASHINGTON COMMANDERS

  • Darius Slayton has a TD in 3 of the Giants’ last 4 games.

MATCH PREVIEW

NFC East rivals, the Giants and Commanders meet off at Northwest Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Commanders are coming off a 37-20 loss to the Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels showcased his class, rushing for 88 yards and two touchdowns in his NFL debut. However, Washington has now lost nine straight games dating back to last season.

The Giants were handed a 28-6 smashing by the Vikings at MetLife Stadium, with Daniel Jones adding to his struggles by adding another pick-six to his growing list of turnovers. Now on the road, New York will look to better their 1-7 record from their last eight away games—their lone win in that stretch came at this very venue.

Washington’s turnover issues have been a problem since last season, ranking 29th in giveaways. These struggles could be amplified against a Giants defense that leads the league in takeaways over the same period.

MATCH PREVIEW

The Chargers and Panthers go head to head at Bank of America Stadium on Sunday afternoon, following very different outcomes in their openers.

The Panthers suffered a 47-10 defeat to the Saints at Caesars Superdome, marking their biggest loss since Week 8 of 2019. Both offensively and defensively, the Panthers struggled, allowing 379 total yards while committing three turnovers. Rookie quarterback Bryce Young had a rough outing, completing only 13 of 30 passes for 161 yards with two interceptions, resulting in the lowest passer rating of his young NFL career.

The Chargers had a 22-10 win over the Raiders at SoFi Stadium in Jim Harbaugh’s first NFL game back as head coach. Running back J.K. Dobbins shined in his Chargers debut, rushing for 135 yards and a touchdown.

The last time these teams met was in Week 3 of the 2020 season, where the Panthers had a 21-16 win at SoFi Stadium.

  • Jerry Jeudy has a TD in his last 2 games.

MATCH PREVIEW

The Jaguars host the Browns for their home opener at EverBank Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

In Week 1, the Jaguars let a 14-point second-quarter lead slip away, ultimately falling 20-17 to Miami at Hard Rock Stadium. Jacksonville’s pass defense struggled to contain Tyreek Hill, who tallied 130 of the Dolphins’ 400 total yards. With this loss, the Jaguars have now lost six of their last seven games.

The Browns also had a rough start to the season, losing 33-17 to the Cowboys at Huntington Bank Field. Deshaun Watson struggled in the passing game, completing 45 attempts for just 169 yards. The Jaguars’ issues with ball security, tied for 26th in giveaways since last season, could be big in this matchup.

When these teams met in Week 14 last year, Jacksonville turned the ball over four times, including three Trevor Lawrence interceptions, as Cleveland had a 31-27 win.

MATCH PREVIEW

Baltimore play their home opener against the Raiders at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Ravens are coming off a tough 27-20 loss to the Chiefs in the NFL season opener at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Baltimore nearly forced OT, but a last-second touchdown catch by Isaiah Likely was overturned after it was ruled that he didn’t get both feet in bounds. Lamar Jackson was awesome, rushing for 122 yards, while Derrick Henry scored a TD in his Ravens debut.

Meanwhile, the Raiders found it tough in a 22-10 loss to the Chargers at SoFi Stadium, extending their streak to seven losses in their last eight road games.

Turnovers were a major issue, with quarterback Gardner Minshew II throwing two interceptions as part of Las Vegas’ three total giveaways. The last time these teams met was in Week 1 of the 2021 season, when the Raiders edged the Ravens 33-27 in OT at Allegiant Stadium

MATCH PREVIEW

NFC West rivals who both began the season with narrow six-point losses, the Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals will meet at State Farm Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Cardinals had a 34-28 defeat against the Bills at Highmark Stadium, letting go a 14-point lead in the second quarter. Quarterback Kyler Murray led Arizona with 57 rushing yards, but struggled to connect with rookie standout Marvin Harrison Jr., completing just one pass to him for four yards. They’ll need to get their passing game in sync to topple the Rams.

Meanwhile, the Rams fought back from a 14-point deficit to force OT against the Lions, losing 26-20. Adding to their woes, wide receiver Puka Nacua was placed on IR due to a knee injury.

The Rams have had Arizona’s number in recent years, winning both matchups last season, including a 37-14 win in Arizona, notching their fifth sweep of the Cardinals in the past seven seasons

MATCH PREVIEW

Meeting for the first time since Week 5, 2021, the Steelers and Broncos will take the stage at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday afternoon.

The Broncos started their season with a 26-20 loss to the Seahawks at Lumen Field, where rookie QB Bo Nix struggled, throwing for just 138 yards on 42 attempts with two interceptions, though he did show some mobility with a fourth-quarter rushing TD.

The Steelers pulled off an 18-10 upset over the Falcons in their opener, with all their points coming from field goals. Originally, Russell Wilson was named the Steelers’ starting quarterback, but a calf injury led to Justin Fields stepping in.

Fields is expected to start again in Week 2, denying Broncos fans the chance to see Wilson’s return to Denver after his difficult two-year stint with the team

MATCH PREVIEW

Experiencing opposite results in their openers, the Bengals and Chiefs will face off at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Chiefs edged out the Ravens 27-20 in a thriller, with a potential game-tying TD overturned by the replay center as time expired. Rookie receiver Xavier Worthy made an immediate impact, scoring two touchdowns on just three touches in his NFL debut.

The Bengals were upset 16-10 by the Patriots at Paycor Stadium. Cincinnati’s offense struggled, with only 224 total yards and two turnovers, while their defense allowed 170 rushing yards.

Quarterback Joe Burrow’s wrist injury remains a concern, raising questions about his ability to perform at full capacity. To complicate matters, wide receiver Tee Higgins is battling a hamstring injury, putting his availability for this matchup in doubt.

MATCH PREVIEW

The Texans play their home opener when the Bears visit NRG Stadium on Sunday Night Football.

The Texans secured a 29-27 win over the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium in Week 1, highlighted by the newcomer Stefon Diggs, who caught two touchdown passes, and Joe Mixon, who tallied 159 yards and a TD on 30 carries.

The Bears pulled off a 24-17 comeback win over the Titans at Soldier Field, overcoming a 17-point deficit. Although rookie quarterback Caleb Williams had a modest NFL debut, Chicago’s defense and special teams stepped up.

A blocked punt returned for a touchdown sparked the rally, and Tyrique Stevenson’s pick-six in the fourth quarter sealed the win. The Bears will now aim to improve on their dismal 2-11 record from their last 13 road games.
