Joe Burrow vs. Texans Defense + Can Brian Flores Slow Caleb Williams? | NFL WK2 Picks & Preview

NFL week 2 action is here but we're still figuring out each team. Chris and the fellas breakdown the most important games, the best bets and the things you need to be on the lookout for during week 2 of the 2026 NFL season. The Cincinnati Bengals face off against a fired up Houston Texans team coming off a tight loss to the Bills. Can Joe Burrow lead Cincy to a rare 2-0 start in September or will the Texans defense take out some frustration on the Bengals? We dive into the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings chess match which features two great coordinators, Ben Johnson and Brian Flores going head to head. The Philadelphia Eagles look to build on their offenses' solid outing in week 1 against the Titans in week 2. Will the Packers take care of the Jets or will Geno Smith have something cooking for Green Bay? And Chris wants to give the Jaguars their respect, especially after the Broncos lopsided loss to the Chiefs. After running through the slate, Chris, Macon and Stanford Steve run through their betting draft, selecting the best plays from NFL Sunday. Make sure to tail, these dudes are sharps.
