Every game outcome picks take
26–50 of 2,021
Chicago Bears to win
with the Vikings set to take on the league's most explosive offense Sunday in Chicago ... And based on their head-to-head track record, I give Johnson the upper hand in Sunday's showdown.
Los Angeles Rams to win
The Rams take on an upstart Giants team in Week 2, but evaluators believe Los Angeles should be able to win that game.

Los Angeles Rams to win
"The Rams will be fine," the second scout told me. "Honestly, I'd feel bad for the Giants (the Rams' next opponent). They're going to be angry. Sean McVay is going to be determined to get this fix fast. That combination could be deadly."

Philadelphia Eagles to win
they also have the Titans coming up, this week. So that should be Should be should be two and o.
Green Bay Packers to win
If Green Bay fancies itself as a playoff-caliber team in the NFC, it should be able to head into this road environment and pull out a win against a team that is widely expected to be on the outside looking in on the postseason this year.
Los Angeles Rams to win
McVay remains one of the best coaches in the league and has 11 days to prepare for a bounce-back performance against the Giants at SoFi Stadium. Expect the Rams to show up and show out against John Harbaugh's Giants.
Buffalo Bills to win
(2) Bills over (3) Chiefs. Josh Allen has never beaten the Chiefs in the playoffs, but he finally gets the monkey off his back here.
San Francisco 49ers to win

Arizona Cardinals to win
We placed the Seahawks on the injury panic meter with Sam Darnold at risk of missing Sunday's game against the Cardinals, and that factors into why Breech foresees Arizona pulling off a second stunning upset in as many weeks to begin the season.

New York Jets to win
The Jets look much improved from last year, and I'll take them to upset a Packers team that seems to have a real problem closing out games. Hill's Pick: Jets moneyline (+170)
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 15, 2026 Denver Broncos to win
if the Rams play the way that they played in Australia, they could win that game... Well, those are the two wins.
Denver Broncos to win
the way the Chargers played, they can go into Los Angeles and beat beat the Chargers handily. Well, those are the two wins.
Seattle Seahawks to win
If they can find a way to stunt Love's momentum that he built from Week 1, they should be able to snag a victory on the road against their NFC West rival.
