Week 2 Predictions

Week 1 Overreactions
Washington will not make it to the Super Bowl.
I picked Spades to make the Super Bowl in Season 1, and he very well still might. But week 1 against the Chargers was a tough first test that Jordan Love and company did not pass.
The Falcons will not make the playoffs.
The NFC South was a two horse race coming into the season, and neither of those were Hova. The Falcons were one of three NFC south teams to fall in week 1, and looked bad offensively. With a loaded NFC West, the Falcons are looking like the early favorite to miss out on a wild card spot.
DK will set the NFL single season record for TDs.
DK Metcalf had 6 TDs and over 250 yards in Week 1. While I don't expect that every week, DK has shown he can beat any defender one on one and is a streak away from scoring on any given play. In what should be a high scoring division, DK will have plenty of opportunities to rack up both yards and touchdowns.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR WEEK 2
Falcons @ Buccaneers
The Bucs were the only NFC South team to win in Week 1 and face a Falcons team that couldn't get anything going offensively.
Prediction: Bucs win 21-17
49ers @ Eagles
The Eagles surprised many and beat the Falcons week 1. They get a very good 49ers team next.
Prediction: 49ers win 35-17
Cowboys @ Chargers
The Chargers won a thriller in week 1 against WFT. Meanwhile the Cowboys lost in a game they were expected to win. I think the Cowboys step up and show some urgency in this one
Prediction: Cowboys 35-28
Raiders @ Steelers
The Steelers got a sim win in Week 1. Stavo's first test of the season is week 2 hosting Trick and a fast raiders squad
Prediction: Steelers win 28-24
Vikings @ Cardinals
#playclockgate shouldn't be an issue when the Vikings travel to a high powered Cardinals team led by Warrior.
Prediction: Cardinals win 42-21
Bengals @ Bears
The Bears are looking to bounce back against a much more balanced opponent.
Prediction: Bengals win 24-21
Rams @ Colts
The Colts put up 49 points in week 1, but also surrendered 63 on defense. The Rams don't have DK but they do have inside zone.
Prediction: Rams win 49-35
Bills @ Dolphins
Two teams that simmed week 1 will test their new teams for the first time.
Prediction: Dolphins win 35-21
Giants @ Washington
Washington looks to bounce back at home against a tough Giants team
Prediction: Washington wins 42-28
Saints @ Panthers
The Saints allowed 50+ points in week 1 and travel to a Panthers team with speed everywhere.
Prediction: Panthers win 42- 24
Broncos @ Jaguars
Two 1-0 teams with playoff hopes collide in week 2. Monty continues his streak from the offseason.
Prediction: Broncos win 31-21
Lions @ Packers
The Packers will look to continue their offensive dominance in week 2 against a rebuilding Lions squad.
Prediction: Packers win 28-17
Texans @ Browns
The Browns lost badly in week 1, while the Texans were still trying to join the league. Can Sherm get his first win of the cycle with that team?
Prediction: Browns win 20-17
Chiefs @ Ravens
Two high powered teams face off in what could resemble Seahawks-Colts by the end of it.
Prediction: Chiefs win 49-42
Patriots @ Jets
The Jets surprised a lot of people by beating the Panthers in week 1. They'll try to keep that momentum going when they host the new look Pats led by Chris.
Prediction: Jets win 31-24
Titans @ Seattle
DK is coming off a historic week 1 performance. The Titans are coming off a tough loss to the Cards. Neither feel like playing defense.
Prediction: Seahawks win 42-38
Side Prediction: DK regresses to 2 TDS
