Dan Graziano, national NFL author: Titans vs Jaguars Live. I’m not excessively bullish on this Broncos group, but rather I don’t think it should be a home underdog to Dallas. The Broncos looked preferred against the run Monday over they did in 2016, and until the point when the final quarter turnovers set in, Trevor Siemian was in charge against a Chargers safeguard that has significantly more distinction creators than Dallas. Give me Denver to begin 2-0 at home.
Mike Sando, senior NFL author: Bears over Bucs. I don’t see an extraordinary one, however the Bears can win at Tampa Bay under unordinary conditions. The Buccaneers could be somewhat corroded falling off a troublesome Week 1. Jameis Winston has not yet demonstrated he will secure the football. The Bucs will be bounty acquainted with Mike Glennon, however Glennon likewise will know their guard all around.
Aaron Schatz, manager of Football Outsiders: Eagles over Chiefs. The Chiefs had a hostile field day against the Patriots in Week 1, however that is incompletely on the grounds that the Pats’ protective quality (outside cornerbacks) gravely coordinates with the quality of the Chiefs’ offense (tight end, running back, crossing designs). The Eagles’ guard is worked inverse of the Patriots’: wonderful four-man pass surge, shortcoming at outside cornerback. A miracle is significantly more likely if Eagles left handle Jason Peters is sufficiently sound to play, be that as it may. Philadelphia needs him to piece Justin Houston.
Kevin Seifert, national NFL author: Packers over Falcons. It wouldn’t be the most shocking result ever, not after the Packers held off a solid Seahawks group in Week 1 and the Falcons scarcely defeated the Bears. Be that as it may, it would be a great accomplishment to go into the Falcons’ new home and win the principal standard season diversion there.
Field Yates, NFL Insider: Bears over Bucs. It’s initial, so despite everything we’re discovering what really matters to each group. In any case, I’ll reverberate Mike. The Bears’ front seven was dynamic and troublesome in Week 1 against Atlanta. The Tampa Bay hostile line includes some rearranged parts this season, which could require a touch of a modification period. The Bears’ offense should discover approaches to produce touches for its two skilled backs, as it did in Week 1Graziano: Nooooo, it’s far too early to state that. Seven days back, I think we as a whole anticipated that the Giants would be a decent group, and it is inappropriate to let one amusement change that desire. There’s a sensible possibility Sunday was the most exceedingly awful amusement the Giants’ offense will play all season, and there’s a nonzero chance it’s the best diversion the Cowboys’ barrier will play all season. I anticipate that the NFC East will be a nearby race. I anticipate that the harder calendars will make it troublesome for the groups at the best to win the 13 and 11 diversions they won a year back. I’m not precluding Philadelphia and Washington as troublemakers or even contenders, accepting the division takes care of as I anticipate that it will. Long approach in the NFC East.
Sando: I’m not tossing everything out the window after one diversion. The Giants were my pick heading into the season, with Dallas in that spot in the blend and Philadelphia as a group with blast or-bust potential. Odell Beckham Jr’s. wellbeing is such a key variable.
Schatz: Yes. The NFC East is solid start to finish, yet the Cowboys were the best group in the division in 2016 and resemble the best group this year now that Elliott is relied upon to play the entire season. On the off chance that Jaylon Smith and Taco Charlton can help make the protection even only a tiny bit better than expected, Dallas is a far better wager to rehash as division champion. That is extreme for the other three groups, each of which may be the most loved on the off chance that it played in the AFC South.
Seifert: Yes. I didn’t think the Giants had done what’s needed to find up with them amid the offseason, and nothing that happened Sunday night altered my opinion. It is extremely unlikely that one non-quarterback, be it OBJ or any other individual, can have that huge of an effect. The Eagles are charming as Carson Wentz grows, however the Cowboys look more grounded by and by.
Yates: The unmistakable top choice? No. The top pick? Truly. Dallas putting everything in order at home in Week 1 was basic, however how about we not lose trace of what’s most important. The guard will be tried much more in future weeks, as the Giants’ offense sputtered in the opener short BeckhamThe New England Patriots were the substantial top picks heading into the season, however with a misfortune in their opener, Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are presently outside the main three.Are they in danger for tumbling to 0-2?

BLG’s WEEK 2 NFL POWER RANKINGS
1 – Kansas City Chiefs (Last Week: 6) – Going into Gillette Stadium and turning out with a win is not a simple thing to do. Doing it from behind is significantly more troublesome. The Patriots were 102-1 at home when driving by 10 or more focuses anytime in a diversion since 2001. They’re presently 102-2. Alex Smith has some incredible weapons to work with in Tyreek Hill and Kareem Hunt. Andy Reid is as yet outstanding amongst other mentors in the group.
2 – Atlanta Falcons (LW: 2) – Not a super showy Week 1 win yet at the same time a win in any case. No adjustment in the positioning.
3 – Green Bay Packers (LW: 4) – The Pack figured out how to pound out a win at home against the Seahawks.
4 – Pittsburgh Steelers (LW: 5) – Ben Roethlisberger has a larger number of wins in Cleveland than each darker beginning quarterback since 1999 (by means of SB Nation).
5 – New England Patriots (LW: 1) – There was figured this group may 19-0 this season. Whoops! Tom Brady beyond any doubt didn’t resemble the Tom Brady everybody is utilized to on Thursday night. “We’re on to New Orleans.”
6 – Oakland Raiders (LW: 8) – Good employment by the Raiders to get a street win against an upstart Titans group. Marshawn Lynch seems as though he can in any case play (18 conveys for 76 yards, 4.2 normal).
7 – Dallas Cowboys (LW: 7) – The Cowboys didn’t look excessively noteworthy in their prevail upon the Giants. Dallas just figured out how to score 19 focuses regardless of holding the ball for more than 34 minutes. Dak Prescott tossed various mistaken passes and looked fair at best.8 – Seattle Seahawks (LW: 3) – Now we’re seeing why the Seahawks were eager to surrender a fifth-round pick for Matt Tobin. Their hostile line is truly loathsome. The guard is still great, yet they’re just going to go so far without having the capacity to secure Russell Wilson.
9 – Minnesota Vikings (LW: 16) – Kudos to Sam Bradford for having an awesome diversion against a Saints safeguard that hasn’t been great in perpetually now. I’m certain Bradford will keep this up the entire season and thoroughly won’t fall back to Earth. In the mean time, that Vikings resistance still looks really solid.
10 – Detroit Lions (LW: 14) – The Lions looked awful from the get-go in Week 1 yet returned thundering for a persuading win at home. Detroit figures to have a really impressive passing amusement, thanks to some degree to new kid on the block champion Kenny Golladay AKA Babytron.
11 – Philadelphia Eagles (LW: 13) – It wasn’t pretty yet the Eagles took care of business out and about against a group that is given them inconvenience for as long as few seasons. Philadelphia’s protective line seems as though it could be one of the best unit’s in the association. Carson Wentz’s play-production capacity is amazing. On the off chance that he can be more steady with his precision, the Eagles can keep on climbing up the rankings.
12 – Baltimore Ravens (LW: 15) – Beating a division adversary by a last score of 20-0 in Week 1 is truly great. Baltimore’s guard is an extreme unit to break.
13 – Denver Broncos (LW: 17) – The Broncos appear to be grabbing where they exited off lost year. Trevor Siemian and the Denver guard consolidate to play alright for a win.
14 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers (LW: 12) – Didn’t play in Week 1 because of Hurricane Irma. Presently they’ll need to play 16 recreations consecutively.
15 – Tennessee Titans (LW: 10) – despite everything I figure the Titans will win the AFC South. Previous Eagles quarterback Marcus Mariota needs to play better, however.
16 – Arizona Cardinals (LW: 9) – Hoo kid. I thought this group was prepared to bob back this season. Not entirely certain about that now. Carson Palmer, who turns 38 in December, may be cooked. David Johnson getting hurt is a major misfortune for Arizona.
17 – Carolina Panthers (LW: 22) – regardless i’m not so much beyond any doubt what to make of this group. A Week 1 win out and about against the 49ers reveals to me they’re not absolutely repulsive. Past that, as yet attempting to make sense of it.
18 – Miami Dolphins (LW: 18) – Didn’t play in Week 1 because of Hurricane Irma. Presently they’ll need to play 16 recreations in succession.
19 – Los Angeles Rams (LW: 25) – Beating the Scott Tolzien-drove Colts isn’t super noteworthy, however credit where it’s expected. L.A. give a good old fashioned thumping to Indy and they did it without Aaron Donald playing.
20 – Jacksonville Jaguars (LW: 31) – Pretty great street win for the Jags in Houston. Jacksonville’s barrier played well. Going up against “Tom Savage” and a youngster Deshaun Watson makes a difference.
21 – New Orleans Saints (LW: 19) – For the millionth year in succession, the Saints have a dreadful resistance. The offense likewise doesn’t look so extraordinary with Brandin Cooks (exchanged) and Willie Snead (suspension) missing.
22 – New York Giants (LW: 11) – The Giants offense looked dreadful without Odell Beckham Jr. New York’s hostile line is as awful as everybody anticipated that it would be. Eli Manning looks washed.
23 – Washington Redskins (LW: 20) – Kirk Cousins abruptly looks mortal without DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garçon on the group. Washington’s offense looks ready to take a critical ste
