Buffalo Bills vs. Miami Dolphins (-2.5)
Even though it's just Week 2, the outcome of this game between the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills could significantly impact the AFC East's future standings. Last week, neither team was particularly convincing, though both managed to secure wins. Concerns linger about the health of Miami’s dynamic running backs, and the Bills are poised to challenge Miami’s secondary effectively.

Prediction: Bills 28, Dolphins 25

Cleveland Browns vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (-3.5)
Despite the Cleveland Browns' offense underperforming in Week 1, it's unlikely their defense will falter to the same extent in Week 2. The Browns have the experience to keep this game competitive enough to cover the spread. However, whether they can secure a win remains to be seen.

Prediction: Browns 23, Jaguars 20
Las Vegas Raiders vs. Baltimore Ravens (-9.5)
Although there are many positives about the Baltimore Ravens, their vulnerabilities were evident in their Week 1 matchup against Kansas City. A significant worry is the Ravens' offensive line, and with the Raiders boasting a strong pass rush, this game could be tighter than expected.

Prediction: Ravens 21, Raiders 16
Seattle Seahawks (-3.5) vs. New England Patriots
AFC Home Game

The New England Patriots secured the most surprising win of Week 1 over Cincinnati. Following such an emotional triumph, a potential letdown in Week 2 seems likely, especially facing the Seattle Seahawks, a team that should have no trouble generating offense here.

Prediction: Seahawks 24, Patriots 16

New York Jets (-3.5) vs. Tennessee Titans
Aaron Rodgers' comeback game with the New York Jets was unremarkable. Nonetheless, it seems challenging to envision the Tennessee Titans successfully advancing the ball against this stout Jets' defense.

Prediction: Jets 23, Titans 15

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Kansas City Chiefs (-5.5)
To say the Cincinnati Bengals had a difficult Week 1 would be an understatement. Facing Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2 won't make things any easier. However, Mahomes often draws peak performances from Joe Burrow, and the Bengals are likely to do just enough to cover the spread late in the game.

Prediction: Chiefs 27, Bengals 22
Pittsburgh Steelers (-3) vs. Denver Broncos
The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense was formidable in Week 1 and has a strong record against rookie quarterbacks under Mike Tomlin. Bo Nix found his debut challenging, and facing this elite defense in Week 2 will only increase the difficulty.

Prediction: Steelers 21, Broncos 10
Chicago Bears vs. Houston Texans (-6.5)
Although the Chicago Bears secured a win in Week 1, their offensive performance left much to be desired. They are expected to improve in their upcoming game, but facing the Houston Texans at home presents a distinctly tougher challenge.

Prediction: Texans 26, Bears 16
