Week 2 is giving us the good stuff, and not just in prime time.
While the Thursday night matchup is excellent and the games Sunday and Monday evening are quality, we also have some good action on the afternoon schedule.
For starters, the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals in the late window, with Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow squaring off? Yes, please. There’s also the Green Bay Packers and Indianapolis Colts meeting at Lambeau Field, with Green Bay trying to survive the most impactful injury of Week 1 to quarterback Jordan Love.
Finally, who pulls an upset this week? Is it the Minnesota Vikings at home? What about the Las Vegas Raiders, who are trying to prevent falling into the dreaded 0–2 bucket?
We run down the best 10 games of the weekend, starting in Charm City.
10. Las Vegas Raiders (0–1) at Baltimore Ravens (0–1)
Watchability score: 3.8
This might be a blowout. We may look back as the turning point of this game being the national anthem. Or, the Raiders could hang tough by getting pressure with Maxx Crosby and Christian Wilkins, and Gardner Minshew II (who beat the Ravens with the Indianapolis Colts last year) managing the game effectively.
Whoever loses is in trouble.
