Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Detroit Lions (-7)

For the second consecutive week, the Detroit Lions face a playoff rematch from last season. Both the Lions and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers demonstrated their playoff-caliber abilities in Week 1. The Buccaneers, somewhat underestimated in the NFC, will keep the game competitive until the end. 

Prediction: Lions 31, Buccaneers 27

San Francisco 49ers (-6.5) vs. Minnesota Vikings

In their Week 1 matchup with the New York Jets, the San Francisco 49ers displayed the form of a team with Super Bowl aspirations again. While the Minnesota Vikings also had a strong showing in Week 1, the 49ers present a significantly tougher challenge than the New York Giants.

Prediction: 49ers 30, Vikings 20

Los Angeles Chargers (-6.5) vs. Carolina Panthers

NFC Home Game

In Week 1, the Los Angeles Chargers executed precisely as Jim Harbaugh envisioned in his NFL comeback. On the flip side, the Carolina Panthers appeared to be the weakest team on the field last week. The Chargers dominate by running the ball aggressively against Carolina, securing a win by double digits.

Prediction: Chargers 24, Panthers 10

Indianapolis Colts (-3.5) vs. Green Bay Packers

Given the uncertainty surrounding the Green Bay Packers' quarterback situation, Malik Willis is anticipated to start in Week 2. Lacking confidence in Willis, we're inclined to back Anthony Richardson and the Colts as they aim to deliver the Packers their second consecutive loss.

Prediction: Colts 20, Packers 15

New York Giants vs. Washington Commanders (-1.5)

The Washington Commanders and New York Giants both had lackluster performances in Week 1. The standout performer from either team was rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. If Daniels can replicate his initial effort in Week 2 at home, the Commanders are well-positioned to secure a win.

Prediction: Commanders 24, Giants 19

Los Angeles Rams vs. Arizona Cardinals (-1.5)

The Los Angeles Rams turned in an impressive performance in Week 1 against Detroit despite the loss, but their extensive injury list makes it difficult to back them in this Week 2 divisional matchup. Meanwhile, the Arizona Cardinals' offense impressed in Buffalo, and we believe they can deliver another robust performance in their home opener.

Prediction: Cardinals 30, Rams 26

Atlanta Falcons vs. Philadelphia Eagles (-6.5)

You have to be thrilled with the performance of the Philadelphia Eagles' offense in their Week 1 game in Brazil against Green Bay. Conversely, the Atlanta Falcons had a tough time advancing the football against Pittsburgh. With the Eagles' strong home game reputation, this matchup could turn decidedly one-sided.

Prediction: Eagles 28, Falcons 19
