It’s Week 2! The new season got off to a bang with the defending champs winning on opening night, Justin Herbert getting over the hump against the Chiefs and a Sunday-night thriller between the Bills and Ravens.
What’s in store for Week 2? Our staff once again envisions some upsets that could shake up the early-season standings. That includes five of our six pickers taking the Buccaneers to win in Houston in a battle of teams that won their division last season. We are evenly split in the game of the week, a Super Bowl rematch between the Eagles and Chiefs at Arrowhead. And we are also split on Aaron Rodgers’s home debut with the Steelers, as he tries to get to 2–0 with a win over the Seahawks.
Here’s who we have making picks this season:
Conor Orr, senior writer
Gilberto Manzano, staff writer
Matt Verderame, staff writer
John Pluym, managing editor
Mitch Goldich, senior editor
Claire Brennan, associate editor
