Well, that was fun, wasn’t it? Week 1 in the NFL had enough upsets and comebacks to deflate the ego of even the best sports handicappers and made fans across the country question their team’s chances after a single game.
NFL Week 2 picks: Packers, Broncos locks for 2nd week of games
SB Nation’s NFL “experts” are here to make their picks for Week 2.

After sorting through the inevitable Week 1 overreactions, SB Nation's panel of NFL experts is back again to pick this week's games. Three of them -- Stephen White, Matt Ufford and David Fucillo -- got nine of 16 picks right last week to take an early lead in the season's standings, but as Week 1 showed, anything goes week-to-week in the NFL. Few picked the Bills to go into Chicago and upset the Bears or the Dolphins to knock off the Patriots.
Unlike last week, there are only two unanimous picks this week: the Denver Broncos over the Kansas City Chiefs and the Green Bay Packers over the New York Jets. A few other games were close to unanimous with Seattle a popular pick against San Diego, Tennessee the pick against Dallas and the Saints against the Browns among the heavy favorites. If last week proved anything, it wouldn't be a surprise for at least one of those games to go in the opposite direction. A number of people took an early exit out of their survivor pools last week and a similar result could happen this week with so many heavy favorites.
At least six of SB Nation’s seven NFL experts agreed on eight of the 16 Week 2 matchups. Here’s a complete look at the picks.
