Despite giving up 17 unanswered points and trailing late against the Rams last Sunday, the Lions managed to force overtime and imposed their will in the extra period to move to 1-0 in Week 1. That game was a rematch of an NFL Wild Card Weekend matchup last season and now Detroit will have another playoff rematch in Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Lions beat the Bucs, 31-23, in the divisional round, but Tampa Bay looked strong in a 37-20 win over the Commanders in Week 1. Which team should you back with your NFL score predictions?
Can the Lions capture another crucial early-season win in the NFC or will the Buccaneers make a statement on the road and come through for anyone who backed them with their NFL predictions? The Week 2 NFL schedule is loaded with high-profile matchups like this and locking in your Week 2 NFL score predictions could be a serious challenge. Before you make any Week 2 NFL picks, be sure to see the exact NFL score predictions from SportsLine expert Eric Cohen.
Cohen, a SportsLine NFL expert and host of the Friday “Early Edge NFL Props Show” on SportsLine’s YouTube page, evaluated the entire Week 2 NFL slate and delivers score predictions and analysis for each matchup. He finished last season on a 39-28 roll on NFL picks and was profitable for bettors. His exact score predictions were a hit on social media last year and he even hit an exact score in the playoffs, Kansas City’s 27-24 upset victory in Buffalo in the AFC Divisional Round. Anyone who followed Cohen’s NFL predictions was profitable. You can only see Cohen’s Week 2 NFL exact score predictions at SportsLine.
Top Week 2 NFL picks
After diving into all 16 games from the NFL’s second week, Cohen is high on the Arizona Cardinals to upset the Los Angeles Rams, 27-26. The Cardinals are coming off a 4-13 season but you could slowly see the culture changing under first-year head coach Jonathan Gannon and the competitive drive was visible again last week despite an incredibly difficult road matchup against the Bills. Arizona overcame an 11-point deficit late and had the ball in the final two minutes with a chance to win the game.
Now they return home to take on a Rams squad that is coming off a 26-20 overtime loss to the Lions. Puka Nacua sprained his PCL in the defeat and was placed on injured reserve, so the Los Angeles offense will be shorthanded. Cohen is expecting the Cardinals to have a clearer plan for getting No. 4 overall pick Marvin Harrison Jr. involved and to make a stand at home against a division rival.
