What others said about the same people
- Michael HanichGame Outcome Picks · Seattle SeahawksHit · 100Hanich argues the Week 2 road game at Arizona is not a true trap game, citing Seattle's long winning streak in the series, Mike Macdonald's preparation and injuries in the Cardinals' secondary, and rates his confidence in the Seahawks at 7. He also suggests safety Nick Emmanwori may miss a second straight game.
- Pete PriscoScore Predictions · Seattle SeahawksClose · 57Prisco picks final scores for every Week 2 NFL game, with several teams that lost in Week 1 — the Chargers, Patriots, Cowboys, Packers and Rams — bouncing back, and the Bills outlasting the Lions in a shootout.
- Richard ShermanScore Predictions · Seattle SeahawksClose · 69Sherman ran through the entire Week 2 slate with winners and several exact final scores, picking Seattle, San Francisco, Buffalo, Houston, Chicago, New England, Jacksonville, Dallas, Kansas City, the Rams, Green Bay, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Tampa Bay, Las Vegas and Carolina. He also called Fred Warner the league's best middle linebacker and floated Parker Washington as a top-five receiver.
- Colin CowherdGame Outcome Picks · Seattle SeahawksHit · 100The co-host (identified only as "Mitchell") gave his own Week 2 picks: Seattle, the Niners in dominant fashion, his Lions over Buffalo, Cincinnati 31-27 at Houston, Chicago, Pittsburgh 24-21 as a road upset, Jacksonville by at least a touchdown, Dallas 26-22, and Kansas City handily.
- Connor J. BenintendiScore Predictions · Seattle SeahawksClose · 52Benintendi predicts Sam Darnold misses three more games with Drew Lock starting, and forecasts Seattle winning all three games — at Arizona, at Washington, and home vs. the Chargers — to reach 4-0 after Week 4.
- Jeremy BrenerGame Outcome Picks · Seattle SeahawksHit · 100Brener writes that rookie Jadarian Price will be Seattle's starting running back in Week 2 at Arizona, and suggests the Seahawks should win that road game if their defensive line can slow Jeremiyah Love.

- Jared DubinGame Outcome Picks · Los Angeles RamsHit · 100Dubin picks the Rams to beat the Giants on Monday Night Football, sticking with preseason expectations over Week 1 overreaction.
