NFL's Week 2 MAXE PICKS

The Philadelphia Eagles kicked off their season with a strong performance against the New England Patriots in Week 1, while the Minnesota Vikings faced a tough challenge trying to contain Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Thursday Night Football promises an exciting showdown. This time, the Vikings visit Philadelphia with a mission to prove themselves as Playoff Contenders. On the other side, the Eagles are eager for more victories. The big question is: Can Kirk Cousins lead the offense, alongside Justin Jefferson, to outshine the Eagles? It's hard to imagine the Vikings starting the season 0-2.

But then there's Jalen Hurts, who's been consistently impressive. Will he have another standout game? This pick is a real head-scratcher, making it one of the most difficult choices this week.

It is my assessment that Baker Mayfield, accompanied by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is likely to exert dominance for a significant portion of the game. However, this could change swiftly if Justin Fields decides to utilize his running abilities. In such a scenario, Fields has the potential to seize control of the game. The pivotal question remains: Can he sustain this level of performance throughout the entire match?

MAXE PICK: TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

Confidence level: 60%

​

FINAL SCORE: TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS 27 - 17 CHICAGO BEARS

This upcoming game holds the promise of delivering a highly engaging matchup. Having faced the Lions, the Chiefs are set to journey to Florida, aiming to assert their Playoff contender status against another formidable contender, the Jacksonville Jaguars. The unpredictability of the game leaves room for various outcomes. However, my forecast leans towards Patrick Mahomes taking charge and leading the Chiefs to a victory against the Jaguars.

Confidence level: 66%

​

The Cowboys are showing formidable strength, presenting a significant challenge for the New York Jets to overcome. The Jets' previous game was truly inspirational. The key question now remains: Can they sustain this momentum and devise a strategy to halt the powerful Cowboys?

MAXE PICK: DALLAS COWBOYS

Confidence level: 86%

​

FINAL SCORE: DALLAS COWBOYS 30 - 10 NEW YORK JETS

​

FINAL SCORE: CAROLINA PANTHERS 17 - 20 NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
