NFL Week 2 Predictions: Bills vs. Dolphins and Other Key Matchups to Watch

Buffalo, New York – Week 2 of the NFL season is just around the corner, and excitement is building as teams prepare for another round of games. After a surprisingly decent Week 1, where I went 8-6-2 against the spread and 10-6 straight up, the challenge now becomes figuring out which Week 1 performances were for real and which ones were just flukes.

This Thursday night at 8:15 PM ET on Prime Video, the Buffalo Bills will take on the Miami Dolphins in a match that promises to be thrilling. Buffalo’s quarterback, Josh Allen, has historically dominated the Dolphins, boasting an impressive 11-2 record against them. While it can be tough for the Bills to perform in the Miami heat, this night game might work to their advantage. I predict a close finish, with the Bills emerging victorious, 28-24.

Moving onto Sunday at 1 PM ET, the Las Vegas Raiders face a challenging matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The Raiders are entering their second straight road game, and their offense struggled in the previous week. Expect the Ravens, led by standout Lamar Jackson, to take control for a comfortable win, 28-16.

Another interesting game to keep an eye on is between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers are dealing with injuries and have not shown much spark offensively. The Chargers should capitalize on this and secure a decisive victory, projecting a score of 26-9 in their favor.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys will be hosting the New Orleans Saints after their recent win against the Cleveland Browns. The Cowboys’ defense has proven to be tough, and pairing that with a strong offense, they should edge out the Saints in a close contest, predicted at 23-18.

As the weekend rolls in, there are several matchups that could surprise, such as the Tennessee Titans taking on the New York Jets, and the Pittsburgh Steelers clashing with the Denver Broncos. Each team will be looking for redemption after lackluster performances in Week 1, making these games critical for establishing momentum in the early part of the season.

Week 2 is shaping up to be an exciting one, and with so many teams eager for a win, fans can expect thrilling finishes and tense moments. Let’s see if the Week 1 results were a true reflection of what’s to come in the NFL!
