NFL Week 2 Predictions Updated 9/14

1pm-Vikings at Packers FOX

Synopsis-This is a battle of offense (Packers) vs Defense (Vikings) both teams will run the ball alot and use a small passing game, this will be a low scoring grind out game won inthe trenches of the lines.The Vikings will rely on Dalvin Cook to control the clock and pound the ball, they need Kirk Cousins to play smart and get some big plays, while the Pack have Aaron Rodgers and he does what he always does.

What Happens-Both teams do what they do best, the Packers will score a few long drives, the Vikings will do the same, it will not be a high scoring pretty game by any means.

Score-Vikings 21-17 Packers, defense wins in the end

1pm-Cowboys at Redskins FOX main game

Synopsis-Another rivalry game, the Cowboys will run the ball with Ezekiel Elliott to slow down the clock and open up the passing game lead by Dax Prescott and Amari Cooper. The Redskins are going with Case Keenum over Dwayne Haskins, they need their running game to be better against Dallas to have any chance.

What Happens-The Cowboys are better,they will come out and take control in the 1st half.

Score-Cowboys 35-14 Redskins

405pm-Chiefs at Raiders CBS

Synopsis-The Chiefs and their high powered offense go against the Raiders, the Chiefs lost Tyreke Hill for a while, so they will rely on Sammy Watkins, the addition of LeSean McCoy in the backfield helps them, plus they have the arm of Patrick Mahomes, while the Raiders did improve from last year, david Carr is a good QB if healthy, Tyreke Williams helps out the passing game at WR and Josh Jacobs is their leading rusher.

What Happens-The Raiders will make this tougher than people think in the 1st half, their offense is better and will score a few TDs but, this is the Chiefs they are playing and the Chiefs offense will take over in the 2nd half.

Score-Chiefs 38-21 Raiders

425pm-Saints at Rams FOX main game

Synopsis-This is the rematch from last year in what was a classic, the Saints have Drew Brees, RB Alfred Kamara and WR Micheal Thomas leading them, while the Rams have Jared Goff , Todd Gurley II and WR Robert Woods leading them, This will be a fun game as both teams will make big plays.

What Happens-A high scoring game that will go to the last possession, the Rams get the close win.

Score-Saints 38-41 Rams

425pm-Bears at Broncos FOX secondary game

Synopsis-Both teams are coming off loses, the Bears did not look good the 1st week but, I expect them to be better, Mitchell Trubisky, their weakness is the running game, Mike Davis needs to be better, their WR is good Allen Robsinson is no slouch. The Broncos also need to be better, they need to throw the ball for more than 5 yards, does Joe Flacco having anything left? Courtland Sutton is a good WR and Royce Freeman is their RB.

What Happens-The Bears’ defense is the difference, the offense will be slightly better, but, the Broncos defense is good as well, do not expect many points here.

Score-Bears-21-17 Broncos

820pm-Eagles at Falcons NBC

Synposis-The Eagles are lead by QB Carson Wentz and RB Darren Sproles and WR Desean Jackson, while the Falcons look to bounce back they have the talent in QB Matt Ryan and WR Julio Jones.

What Happens-The Eagles’ defense will make some big stops to slow down the Falcons’ attack and the Falcons will score more than last week, but, run into a good Eagles’ defense.

Score-Eagles 31-21 Falcons

Monday-

815pm-Browns at Jets ESPN

Synopsis-This was supposed to be Darnold vs Mayfield but, with Darnold out its now Trevor Simien for the Jets and Baker Mayfield for the Browns. The Browns’ are better than last week,I expect bigger things from Odell Beckham Jr, Nick Chubb is their RB, the Jets will need a big game from LeVon Bell at RB to have any chance for Trevor Siemain to get some chances to make plays.

What Happens-The Browns will make some big plays, the Jets will be decent but, are just not good this year.

Score-Browns 34-17 Jets
