Week 2 NFL Score Predictions

In this story:
Every week, I'll release a prediction for every game in the NFL. Here's how I see things going down in Week 2.
WEEK 1 PICKS: 7-9.
SEASON PICKS: 7-9.
Raiders at Bills
Josh Allen and the Bills' offense was out of sync in Week 1. Not this week. Buffalo bounces back in a big way.
Prediction: Bills 27, Raiders 14.
Ravens at Bengals
Let the overreaction begin. The Bengals offense looks anemic for a second straight week, dropping them to 0-2 on the season.
Prediction: Ravens 20, Bengals 13.
Chiefs at Jaguars
The Chiefs aren't going to win them all and of the few games I could see them dropping, this is one of them.
Prediction: Jaguars 30, Chiefs 27.
Chargers at Titans
Ryan Tannehill against Justin Herbert? Come on. I know the cross country travel is a concern for some, but not here. Give me the Bolts.
Prediction: Chargers 24, Titans 20.
Packers at Falcons
The Bears had some success on the ground last week against the Packers, rushing for 4.2 yards per carry. Atlanta should be able to run the ball at will and keep Jordan Love off the field.
Prediction: Falcons 22, Packers 14.
Seahawks at Lions
It'll be an ugly game for the most part, but another clean game for Jared Goff through the air.
Prediction: Lions 23, Seahawks 21.
Colts at Texans
This will be some fun seeing Anthony Richardson taking on C.J. Stroud. The Colts gave the Jags a good fight last week and proved they are a little further ahead than the Texans, who settled for three field goals against Baltimore.
Prediction: Colts 22, Texans 13.
Bears at Buccaneers
I didn't think the Bucs had a chance to even hang with Minnesota, yet they found a way to win the game. After Sunday, they'll be 2-0.
Prediction: Buccaneers 24, Bears 9.
Giants at Cardinals
Fortunately for the Giants, they get a bounce-back game here in Week 2 after getting boat-raced by the Cowboys in the opener. Easy one here for New York.
Prediction: Giants 31, Cardinals 7.
49ers at Rams
Both of these teams were extremely impressive last week. San Fran dominated Pittsburgh on the road and L.A. stunned the Seahawks. I'll give a slight edge to the Niners in a rock fight.
Prediction: 49ers 19, Rams 16.
Jets at Cowboys
Here's your upset of the week. I know the entire Jets' organization is having a tough time moving on from what happened to Aaron Rodgers, but this is a quality football team that is led by a strong defense. If Zach Wilson plays clean football, they win this game.
Prediction: Jets 21, Cowboys 18.
Commanders at Broncos
Not sure what to expect in this game. Sean Payton and Russell Wilson know the importance of avoiding a 0-2 start, especially with the division they're in.
Prediction: Broncos 23, Commanders 13.
Dolphins at Patriots
Winning in New England isn't easy and the Miami Dolphins are well aware of it. They steal one with a late touchdown to send the Pats to 0-2.
Prediction: Dolphins 17, Patriots 16.
Saints at Panthers
Carolina has had success hosting the Saints early in the season and I think with DJ Chark likely back in the mix this week, the passing game will be much improved. I'll take Carolina at home in front of an electric atmosphere.
Prediction: Score prediction will be released on Saturday.
Browns at Steelers
Cleveland shocked the NFL world last week by how convincingly they beat Cincinnati. Pittsburgh has a lot to figure out offensively, particularly on the ground. I've got the Browns here.
Prediction: Browns 24, Steelers 17.
