CBS Sports’ John Breech is back with his bold Week 2 NFL picks, after Week 1 saw a plethora of surprises, including a police handcuff incident for Kansas City’s Tyreek Hill that culminated in a touchdown celebration with a teammate mimicking the handcuffs.
**Thursday Night Football: Dolphins Over Bills**
The first game of the season to be exclusively streamed on Amazon Prime pits the Miami Dolphins against the Buffalo Bills, a matchup Breech predicts will be a tight contest. He backs the Dolphins, citing coach Mike McDaniel’s impressive early-season record and the Bills’ revamped secondary that may struggle against Miami’s high-powered offense.
**Other Notable Picks:**
* **Saints vs. Cowboys:** Breech’s analysis of Derek Carr and the Saints’ Week 1 performance against the Panthers suggests that their success might be short-lived, as the Cowboys pose a much tougher challenge. He predicts a Cowboys victory, citing their dominant home record.
* **Patriots vs. Seahawks:** After a surprising Week 1 win over the Bengals, the Patriots appear to be a much improved team, and Breech expects them to capitalize on the Seahawks’ cross-country travel and 10 a.m. kickoff.
* **Jaguars vs. Browns:** While Watson’s performance in Week 1 was disastrous, Breech predicts a Jaguars win, citing their overall competence compared to the Browns’ inconsistent play.
* **Bengals vs. Chiefs:** Despite the Bengals’ Week 1 woes and the Chiefs’ dominant victory, Breech sticks with the Bengals, citing Joe Burrow’s historical success against the Chiefs and the close margin of victory in their previous matchups.
Breech also highlights his best and worst pick from Week 1, with the Broncos’ victory over the Seahawks, despite Bo Nix’s limited throwing ability, being the most surprising result.
