AP staff preview, predictions and discussion for Sunday’s Week 2 NFL games

The Chiefs played the Chargers on Thursday night, but we’re picking all of Sunday’s games.

NFL: New England Patriots at Pittsburgh Steelers Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports

Week 2 of the NFL season kicked off with the Kansas City Chiefs handing the Los Angeles Chargers a 27-24 loss on Thursday Night Football from GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, coming just short of the four-point spread set by DraftKings Sportsbook.

Elsewhere in the AFC West this weekend, the Las Vegas Raiders (0-1) host the Arizona Cardinals (0-1) and the Houston Texans (0-0-1) will travel to Colorado to take on the Denver Broncos (0-1) — which will be carried locally on KCTV/5 . Both of those contests will be during Sunday’s late afternoon slate.

Sunday’s early games will include Kansas City’s next opponent — the Indianapolis Colts (0-0-1) — on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars (0-1), the Baltimore Ravens (1-0) playing host to the Miami Dolphins (1-0), the New England Patriots (0-1) against the Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0) in the Steel City (seen locally on KCTV/5) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0) playing the New Orleans Saints (1-0) in an NFC South showdown from the Big Easy (locally on WDAF/4).

The rest of Sunday’s late-afternoon action includes the Atlanta Falcons (0-1) versus the Los Angeles Rams (0-1) in California, the San Francisco 49ers (0-1) hosting the Seattle Seahawks (1-0) in an NFC West matchup and the Cincinnati Bengals (0-1) on the road against the Dallas Cowboys (0-1).

Sunday’s matchups will conclude with one of the league’s oldest rivalries: the Chicago Bears (1-0) against the Green Bay Packers (0-1) at Lambeau Field for Sunday Night Football.

Here are our picks for Sunday’s games. Be sure to cast your vote, too!
