NFL Week 2 Picks From the MMQB Staff

It’s Week 2! Three teams expected to be atop the AFC this year—the ChiefsBills and Bengals—are all trying to avoid falling to 0–2. Kansas City dropped too many passes in the opening Thursday game against the Lions, Buffalo imploded with turnovers against the Jets and Cincinnati ran into a buzzsaw in the rain against the Browns.

This week, two elite defenses clash as Zach Wilson and the Jets take on Dak Prescott and the Cowboys. Our panel is not expecting an upset there, though we do see plenty of games as being up for grabs.

Here’s who is picking games this season:

Albert Breer, senior NFL reporter
Conor Orr, senior writer
Gilberto Manzano, staff writer
Matt Verderame, staff writer
John Pluym, managing editor
Mitch Goldich, editor
Claire Kuwana, editor
