Fearless Rick & Coin Flip NFL Week 2 Late Games
All times Eastern
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Denver Broncos (-3, 44.5) (4:05 pm, CBS) - The Broncos could not have played much worse than they did in their Week 1, 31-10, defeat at Kansas City. The offense never found a rhythm and the defense missed multiple tackles throughout the game. They need to fix these issues and one week of practice isn’t going to cut it.
The Jags made easy work of Cleveland in their 34-10 rout of Cleveland, and proved last season to be one of the best all-around teams in the NFL. Even if Denver was cooking on all burners, they’d have trouble toppling the Jags. Hard to believe the Broncos are favored here.
Coin Flip: Jacksonville
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Jaguars 30 Broncos 20
The Chargers might find a way to win this game, but it’s not going to be easy. Vegas had its way with the Dolphins and the defense played smart. If the Chargers can’t contain Ashton Jeanty, they’re in for a long afternoon. This could come down to a late field goal or OT.
Coin Flip: Las Vegas
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Chargers 23 Raiders 20
Unless the ‘Niners have jet lag after their 27-7 stomping of the Rams, this could get ugly, early. There aren’t many big mismatches in the NFL, but this sure looks like one.
Coin Flip: San Francisco
Fearless Rick’s Pick: 49ers 42 Dolphins 10
The Cowboys are another one of the teams with high hopes but still with flaws and they are vulnerable to an offense that will not quit, such as Washington showed in their 24-22 loss at Philly last week. Dallas won both meetings last season, but the Commanders can take it to them this time around.
Coin Flip: Washington
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Commanders 27 Cowboys 24
Seattle managed to slip by New England in the season opener, 13-10, and have had plenty of rest, the game played last Wednesday. Their defense is likely to clamp down on Jacoby Brissett and maybe force a few turnovers. Seattle’s offense isn’t exactly world-class, but they will score enough to make this one a laugher.
Coin Flip: Seattle
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Seahawks 24 Cardinals 6
Indy got spanked by Baltimore, 41-23, and they may suffer another setback if their defense can’t keep the Chiefs offense off the field. KC also has as solid a defense as can be found in the league and that may ultimately prove to be the difference.
Coin Flip: Indianapolis
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Chiefs 31 Colts 21
New York Giants @ Los Angeles Rams (-7, 48.5) (8:15 pm, ESPN) - Maybe the Giants aren’t as good as their 28-20 win over Dallas suggests and maybe the Rams aren’t the dynamic, Super Bowl-bound team everybody suggested preseason.
The Rams got stuffed good and hard by the 49ers in Australia last week in a 27-7 humbling loss, and though they’ve had time to adjust, they’ll be without Myles Garrett, who didn’t log a defensive stat against the 49ers and now is out at least four weeks. It’s a problem and NY’s Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo will gladly take full advantage.
Coin Flip: New York Giants
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Giants 24 Rams 20
