WEEK 2 NFL SCORE PREDICTIONS UPGRADE

Jones had a career-best 300-yard game vs. Vaughn McClure's pick: Although the Falcons are without Deion Jones (foot surgery) and Keanu Neal (ACL) and could be without Devonta Freeman (knee), they have enough to compensate, particularly on offense. The defense will keep this one close, and cornerback James Bradberry will contain Julio Jones. Point spread:ATL -6 | Matchup quality: 59.5 (of 100)ĭavid Newton's pick: Cam Newton might think he's Superman, but playing without Greg Olsen (foot) and a new right side of the offensive line with Trai Turner (concussion) likely out and Daryl Williams (knee) definitely out might be too much even for him to overcome. In case you missed it: Rodgers can't walk on water but can play well after injury . Vikings prepare for whichever Rodgers they'll get . Scouts: Vikings better everywhere but QBĬarolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons (1 p.m. What to watch for in fantasy: Jamaal Williams averaged just 3.1 yards per carry in Week 1, and now he gets a stiff Vikings front that led the league in adjusted fantasy points allowed to running backs in 2017. Should Kizer be forced to start, FPI would give the Packers just a 43 percent chance to win. This prediction assumes Rodgers - the hero of Week 1 - is healthy. Vikings 24, Packers 20įPI win projection: GB, 60 percent. It could be close if he plays or a blowout if he doesn't given backup DeShone Kizer's propensity for turnovers. But he has never started a game with a sprained left knee, so if he plays Sunday against the Vikings, who knows how much he'll be able to do. Rob Demovsky's pick: The Packers are 95-48 when Rodgers starts and 6-11-1 when he doesn't. Lost in the will-he-or-won't-he play narrative is how underwhelming the Packers were elsewhere on offense against the Bears, receiving few contributions from their running backs and tight ends. Even if the Vikings face a less-mobile version of Aaron Rodgers, they know that the QB isn't going to be a statue in the pocket. Point spread:GB -1 | Matchup quality: 73.8 (of 100)Ĭourtney Cronin's pick: Minnesota notched 26 quarterback pressures against the 49ers while its defensive line pushed the pocket to make Jimmy Garoppolo uncomfortable. Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers (1 p.m. IND-WSH | HOU-TEN | MIA-NYJ | LAC-BUF | NE-JAXĪRI-LAR | DET-SF | OAK-DEN | NYG-DAL | SEA-CHI Jump to a matchup: MIN-GB | CAR-ATL | KC-PIT | PHI-TB | CLE-NO
