Consider yourself lucky if you didn’t take the Cincinnati Bengals (0-1) in your survivor pool. In Circa Survivor (one of the popular NFL survivor pools), a whopping 34% of entries lost when the New England Patriots (1-0) pulled off the biggest upset of Week 1 — a 16-10 win as 7.5-point underdogs at Cincinnati.
For those of us who can still stomach betting the unpredictable NFL, Thursday Night Football kicks off Week 2 with an AFC East showdown between the Buffalo Bills (1-0) and Miami Dolphins (1-0) in Miami Gardens. The Bills, who opened as underdogs, are 4-0 straight up and 2-2 against the spread in the last 4 head-to-head meetings.
The early Sunday slate is headlined by the Dallas Cowboys (1-0) hosting the New Orleans Saints (1-0), as well as a rematch of a Divisional Round playoff game from last season as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0) visit the Detroit Lions (1-0). QB Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets (0-1) face the Tennessee Titans (0-1) in Nashville, the San Francisco 49ers (1-0) face their former backup QB Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings (1-0) in Minneapolis, and QB Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens (0-1) look to bounce back after a heartbreaking Week 1 loss on TNF when they host the Las Vegas Raiders (0-1).
Three games are scheduled for the 4 p.m. ET slate, with the main attraction being QB Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs (1-0) hosting QB Joe Burrow and the Bengals. The Chiefs beat the Bengals 23-20 as 2-point home favorites in the 2023 AFC Championship Game and won last year’s New Year’s Eve meeting 25-17 as 7-point home favorites. The other 2 games are the Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0) at the Denver Broncos (0-1) and the LA Rams (0-1) visiting the Arizona Cardinals (0-1).
Sunday concludes with a couple of top-2 picks from the past 2 drafts facing off as QB C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans (1-0) host QB Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears (1-0). The Week 2 action wraps up on MNF with the Philadelphia Eagles (1-0) — fresh off a win in the NFL’s first South American Game — hosting the Atlanta Falcons (0-1).
