Ranking NFL Week 2 Games: Most Watchable to Least

1. Vikings/Bears (-5.5) – Sunday, Sept. 20 1:00 p.m.

Until further notice, the Chicago Bears will occupy a top spot — if not THE top spot — in these rankings. All offense, no defense — they feel like a Big 12 team! I’m expecting a ton of points and a very close game on Sunday in Chicago, and a potential Vikings upset win.

2. Lions/Bills (-4.5) – Thursday, Sept. 17 8:15 p.m.

Do you enjoy new stadium openings? How about a billion points being scored with two electric offenses? If so, this is the game for you.

3. Jaguars/Broncos (-2.5) – Sunday, Sept. 20 4:05 p.m.

We will learn about both of these teams on Sunday. If the Jags are for real, we’ll see Trevor Lawrence play well and slice up a Broncos defense that was horrible against the Chiefs in Week 1. And can Denver get off the mat and respond? It’s a fascinating early-season game between two legit contenders.

4. Giants/Rams (-7) – Monday, Sept. 21 8:15 p.m.

Just as everyone predicted, the Giants are 1-0 and the Rams are 0-1. No Myles Garrett for LA. If the Rams lose this one….

5. Bengals/Texans (-2.5) – Sunday, Sept. 20 1:00 p.m.

The Houston defense got shredded in Week 1 by Buffalo, and Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase are up next. If Cincy shreds them, Houston needs to be a real concern this season.

6. Steelers/Patriots (-5.5) – Sunday, Sept. 20 1:00 p.m.

Can New England bounce back from a horrific Week 1 loss in Seattle and without star receiver A.J. Brown? It’s not like the Steelers were that impressive in beating Atlanta.

7. Commanders/Cowboys (-3.5) – Sunday, Sept. 20 4:25 p.m.

These longtime rivals are both 0-1 overall, 0-1 in the division, and in desperate need of a win. Get your popcorn ready.

8. Packers (-3.5) /Jets – Sunday, Sept. 20 1:00 p.m.

Are the Jets for real? If they are, they’ll find a way to win this game and go 2-0. And the Packers absolutely need to win this game and avoid an 0-2 start. If they don’t, you’ll start to hear a lot of noise about Matt LaFleur’s job security.

9. Colts/Chiefs (-6.5) – Sunday, Sept. 20 8:20 p.m.

The Chiefs are a big favorite on Sunday Night Football, but should they be? Can the Colts slow down Kenneth Walker and the KC ground game? If they can, this one will be closer than you think.

10. Saints/Ravens (-8.5) – Sunday, Sept. 20 1:00 p.m.

These two teams scored 71 points combined in Week 1. Need I say more?

11. Seahawks (-4.5)/Cardinals – Sunday. Sept. 20 4:25 p.m.

Drew Lock will start for Seattle against a Cardinals team that shocked the Chargers (and the world) last weekend. Don’t be shocked if this game is closer than expected.

12. Browns/Buccaneers (-8.5) – Sunday, Sept. 20 1:00 p.m.

This could be Deshaun Watson’s final start as a Brown, which is a reason for celebration. Can Baker Mayfield avoid the backbreaking turnovers that cost Tampa in Week 1?

13. Raiders/Chargers (-7) – Sunday, Sept. 20 4:05 p.m.

The Bolts can’t possibly play as poorly as they did in Week 1. Right? Right? Bueller?

14. Dolphins/49ers (-13.5) – Sunday, Sept. 20 4:25 p.m.

Have you ever slowed down while driving to look at roadkill?

15. Eagles (-7)/Titans – Sunday, Sept. 20 1:00 p.m.

If the Titans score 14 points in this game, it will be a miracle. I fear for Cam Ward’s safety.

16. Panthers (-2.5)/Falcons – Sunday, Sept. 20 1:00 p.m.

Division games can get wacky, and I hope this one does, because it doesn’t seem like the best of games on paper. The loser will fall to 0-2 and be in a world of trouble in a bad division.
