The largest spread of the slate could never have accounted for a sloppy, mistake-filled performance that left us questioning whether Justin Herbert deserves his elite praise.
Week 2’s matchups get a little bit friendlier, for what it’s worth.
We can dump 16 points from last week’s confidence rankings down the drain with a little more context: that’s just the vicissitudes of NFL betting.
You don’t need to be a rocket scientist: the 49ers were exceptional on both sides of the ball against the mighty Rams, while the Dolphins are in penury.
Tennessee made the Jets look competent, getting out-gained 367 yards to 195 and managing just 11 first downs to Gang Green’s 19. Jalen Hurts will build more confidence off a sound opening performance.
Baker Mayfield had a ball security problem against Cincinnati, but their issues were more self-inflicted than anything. Fortunately, he now gets a Browns unit that allowed four touchdowns and only five incompletions to Trevor Lawrence.

I’d sound the alarm if we see more undisciplined penalties and poor decisions from Drake Maye. The Steelers are too white bread to expect that again.

Bryce Young #9 of the Carolina Panthers passes the ball against the Chicago Bears during the first quarter of the game at Bank of America Stadium on September 13, 2026 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Getty Images 7 points: Rams over Giants The Rams are due for a big get-right game back at SoFi. A healthy Giants team that was efficient and physically dominant against Dallas draws some skepticism.
Since the Chargers essentially beat themselves, it’s hard to project how much Arizona’s rhythm will stand against elite defense. We don’t need Sam Darnold.
Trevor Lawrence was nearly flawless against the lowly Browns, connecting for scores with four different receivers while the defense suffocated. Denver was greatly underwhelming in a myriad of ways.
The Cowboys had no answers for the Giants’ short-to-intermediate passing attack. Jayden Daniels will have more room to work with here.
The Bills really know how to give heart palpitations. So do the Lions. Give me Josh Allen.
Cincinnati forced four turnovers against Tampa Bay. This comes down to Joe Burrow over C.J. Stroud.
