Philadelphia Eagles at Kansas City Chiefs
A Super Bowl rematch in Week 2 makes this one an easy choice. The Eagles came out of the gates with a home victory over the Dallas Cowboys, while the Chiefs enter 0-1 after losing to the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil. Take a look at the upcoming schedule for the Chiefs: Philadelphia, at New York Giants, Baltimore. With wide receiver Xavier Worthy banged up, the Chiefs very well could be looking at a 1-3 start to the season, which makes the outcome of this one all the more important. Philadelphia dominated the Super Bowl, and although the Eagles are on the road, they look like the better team. Eagles, 27-20.
Lock of the week
New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys

It is an interesting time for the Giants and old friend Brian Daboll. He is sticking with Russell Wilson as his starting quarterback, but if the offense has another poor showing like it did in Week 1, when it put up just six points against the Commanders, the calls for rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart to take over are only going to grow louder. The Cowboys had a pretty good showing in Week 1, despite the loss to the Eagles, putting the drama of the Micah Parsons trade behind them. Cowboys, 28-14.
Upset of the week
Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions
Bears head coach Ben Johnson returns to Detroit after spending the past three seasons as the Lions' offensive coordinator. He knows the flaws of Detroit quarterback Jared Goff. The Lions got off to a tough start at Green Bay in Week 1, and it looks like the challenge of overcoming the loss of Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, who became head coach of the Jets, is a bigger one than some would have believed. Bears, 24-23.
