5 stories · since Sep 3 · newest 1d ago — Key players suffer significant injuries in the opening weeks of the 2026 NFL season, disrupting rosters and reshaping early competitive balance.

What to know

  • Week 1 produced major upsets (Cardinals beat Chargers 26-14) that influenced Week 2 oddsmakers, with six games carrying spreads of at least a touchdown.
  • SportsLine's computer model, which has a 53-39 record on top-rated picks since 2024, backs the Seahawks at -4.5 over Arizona and Buccaneers at -8.5 over Cleveland, both forecasted to cover in over 60% of 10,000 simulations.
  • The 49ers are 12.5-point home favorites over Miami—the biggest spread of the young season—while the Rams are 7-point favorites over the Giants on Monday Night Football.

“Perhaps no team looked worse in Week 1 than Cleveland, as the Browns allowed 34 points to Jacksonville, saw Deshaun Watson get sacked five times, and only managed a garbage-time touchdown versus backups.”

    SportsLine computer model releases Week 2 picks backing Seahawks and Buccaneers

    CBS Sports reports that SportsLine's computer model, which simulates every game 10,000 times and has a 53-39 record on top-rated picks since 2024, has backed the Seahawks at -4.5 to cover against Arizona and the Buccaneers at -8.5 to cover against Cleveland. The model notes Seattle's 8-1 ATS record in nine straight meetings with Arizona and forecasts double-digit wins in both games well over 60% of the time.

    “The Seahawks are forecasted to win by double digits, prevailing versus the spread well over 60% of the time in an A-rated pick.”

    Yahoo Sports previews Week 2 matchups with game-by-game predictions

    Yahoo Sports' predictions focus on several key Week 2 contests: Buffalo is picked to edge Detroit in Thursday Night Football despite both teams' defensive weaknesses; Chicago's high-powered offense (59 points, 552 yards in Week 1) faces Minnesota's aggressive defense; and Philadelphia is expected to dominate Tennessee. The analysis notes uncertainty at Falcons QB with both Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) and Michael Penix Jr. (knee) in question.

    “Josh Allen wins a shootout against Jared Goff, with Buffalo coming out with a two-to-zero record but renewed concerns about its run defense.”
