NFL Picks Week 2: Quick Picks For All Sunday Games

Folks the NFL season has already heated up with excitement, and much like Week 1, Week 2 is expected to be fulfilled with tons of great games.

In addition, it's going to be interesting to see which teams can bounce back after losing their opener, as well as those who can keep it rolling.

With that, here are score predictions for each Week 2 game.

Kansas City at Detroit

The Chiefs are currently in an identity crisis and the Lions are rising fast.

And with safety Eric Berry out for the season, it's only going to hurt the 2010 AFC West champs even more than their Week 1 implosion.

Detroit wins 31-14

Oakland at Buffalo

The Bills surprised a lot of critics with their 41-7 domination of the Kansas City Chiefs.

As for the Raiders, they won a hard fought battle, 23-20 over the Denver Broncos on Monday night.

Both are on the rise, but with the Raiders still lacking in the passing game and with discipline (15 penalties for 131 yards), Buffalo has the edge.

Bills win 21-17

Tampa Bay at Minnesota

Also known as "The Brad Johnson Bowl" because the former NFL QB played 13 of his 17 seasons combined between both cities, these former NFC Central rivals are in the need of a season saving win this weekend.

Minnesota played well at San Diego but fell, and Tampa was upset by Detroit.

With a bit more talent, the Bucs take it.

Buccaneers 27, Vikings 20

Chicago at New Orleans

Both have high-powered offenses and vulnerable defenses.

However, with Drew Brees on the Saints and Jay Cutler on the Bears, it's advantage for New Orleans

Saints 38, Bears 28

Baltimore at Tennessee

A game that features two of the AFC's best RBs in Ray Rice and Chris Johnson, respectively.

The difference here is the Baltimore defense that's still rolling with Ray Lewis and Ed Reed, who delays Johnson's performance another week.

Ravens win 28-10

Cleveland at Indianapolis

Just like the Chiefs, the Colts are in an identity crisis since they are without Peyton Manning.

As for the Browns, they just underachieved in Week 1, but should regather themselves after being humbled by the Bengals.

Browns win 20-16.

Jacksonville at New York (AFC)

If the Jets start off slow in this one, the Jags are very capable of stealing one in The New Meadowlands, and their defense is solid enough to keep Mark Sanchez and co. under-wraps.

It's another defensive slug-fest, and the Jags hold on tight.

Jaguars 16, Jets 13 (OT)

Seattle at Pittsburgh

Feel bad for the Seahawks because the Steelers are angry and hungry after getting embarrassed in Week 1.

Also, Seattle just doesn't have nearly the talent that Pittsburgh obtains.

It's not an insane blowout, but it's not pretty either.

Steelers 37, Seahawks 14

Arizona at Washington

This one has the making of a barn-burner because the Redskins are going under the radar, and Arizona is just finding their niche.

However, Rex Grossman gets the best of himself and tries to do too much against the Cardinals, while Kevin Kolb acts more patient.

Cardinals 23, Redskins 17

Green Bay at Carolina

The Super Bowl champs versus an upstart rookie who's trying to save a franchise.

It's not the Cardinals on the other side, this time around for Cam Newton, it's Clay Matthews and Charles Woodson, among others.

Packers 41, Panthers 20

Dallas at San Francisco

This time around the Cowboys play a full game, and Ted Ginn Jr. doesn't save the game for the 49ers.

Cowboys win at Candlestick Park, 30-20

San Diego at New England

Two of the NFL's best QBs matching blow-for-blow, but with the Bolts having the better pass defense, the Patriots are upset at home in Week 2.

Chargers 31, Patriots 27

Houston at Miami

Even though the Dolphins signed veteran DB Will Allen to help with the pass defense, it won't make a difference against the Houston Texans and Andre Johnson.

In addition, the Miami offense gets blanked by a confident and significantly improving Texans' defense.

Texans 24, Dolphins 6

Cincinnati at Denver

It's safe to say the Broncos are improving despite being out-played by the Oakland Raiders.

Also, the Bengals beat a Browns team that has had a lot of hype, but nothing else.

Broncos win 21-20

Philadelphia at Atlanta

With a weak pass defense going against an array of offensive weapons, the Philadelphia Eagles take a big win in a hostile environment at Mike Vick's NFL homecoming.

As for the Falcons, they need to spruce up the secondary because Dunta Robinson can't do it alone.

Eagles 42, Falcons 21

St. Louis at New York (NFC)

Right now both teams are hurting with some injuries, which only makes this game more important.

Adding to it, after both lost in Week 1, each are just as desperate as the other to get a win on Monday night.

In the end, the Giants fight off the scrappy and pesky Rams.

Giants win 27-21
