Two weeks into the NFL season is not nearly enough time to accurately predict anything about the final outcome. But that hasn’t stopped us before so let’s have some fun and predict who’s 2-0 record you should not be fooled by, and who’s 2-0 record is legitimate.
Buffalo: Very much legitimate and should cruise to a Division title. Josh Allen has plenty of weapons who can score downfield for his big arm to find them.
Baltimore: This Super Bowl contender has looked the part through two weeks with a blowout of the Browns and handling of the Texans. Their biggest test is this week with the defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs.
Pittsburgh: Not sold by this team at all. They may look strong at times on defense, but this core is just one injury away from falling apart. Not enough weapons on offense to be taken serious. TJ Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick are beasts, but still not all the way sold on the entire package just yet.
Tennessee: Two wins by 5 points total against two non-playoff bound teams. Perhaps last years success has already made them soft? Maybe Ryan Tannehill wasn’t worth the big contract? Or maybe Derrick Henry just hasn’t gotten fully warmed up yet. Right now, I will still say legitimate playoff contender, but barely.
KC: The real deal without hesitation! Do I really need to give a reason? That offense is deadly and the defense appears to be getting better as well. It will be them and the Ravens in the AFC Championship game.
Las Vegas: Fools gold. Until the Silver and Black win a playoff game, it’s fools gold.
GB: With the extra motivation behind Aaron Rodgers after the draft, he has already shown he is out for blood. You can count Aaron Jones in that mix as well. They know their time in GB may be short, but they’re going to make it count!
Chicago: Big time Fools Gold here. They almost blew two leads against horrible teams in the Giant and Lions. They are beyond lucky to be 2-0 and reality should hit soon.
LA Rams: My tag Team partner Cole McDaniel may disagree with me on the Rams. But, so far, they have may made my bold and very shaky prediction of returning to the playoffs, atleast a stronger possibility. They are in the NFL’s toughest division, but I do believe this strong start is legit.
Arizona: Fools good. This team is still a year or two away. Their coach is unproven, their QB needs to do it consistently and they play in the toughest division in the NFL. A lot of people will sternly disagree with me but I just have this gut feeling about them that I cannot shake.
Seattle: They are up there with the Green Bay Packers as one of, if not, the best team in the NFC thus far. They are more than legit, they are a serious Super Bowl contender early on. Russell Wilson is playing the best football of his career. Let Russ cook!
