Noah Sousa’s Week 2 Picks
Writer Noah Sousa gives his picks for week 2 of the 2026 NFL season
Thursday night football:
Lions 31- 34 Bills game of the week
Detroit’s defense struggled to close out last week vs. the Saints, and now they play Josh Allen coming off a statement win vs. the Houston Texans, and I believe Buffalo will bully the Lions' defense on Thursday.
Early game slate on Sunday
Panthers 24-17 Falcons
Saints 20-34 Ravens
Vikings 23-31 Bears
Bengals 24-21 Texans
Steelers 17-20 Patriots
Packers 27-17 Jets
Browns 10- 27 Buccaneers lock of the week
Eagles 24- 10 Titans
Late game slate
Dolphins 13- 31 49ers
Seahawks 17-20 Cardinals underdog pick of the week
Jaguars 31-20 Broncos upset pick
Jacksonville comes into this game after a dominant win vs. the browns and I think they beat the Broncos, who are coming off playing poorly vs. the Chiefs on Monday night. Jacksonville's offense looks great, as Trevor Lawrence in his last seven regular-season games has thrown for an average of 263.6 passing yards and has 19 touchdowns to 1 interception, a touchdown-to-interception ratio with a record of 7-0, and I think the streak continues.
Raiders 20-23 Chargers
Commanders 23-27 Cowboys
Sunday Night Football:
Colts 24-37 Chiefs
Monday Night Football:
Giants 17-20 Rams
