NFL picks 2026: Full list of Week 2 predictions with confidence levels

Welcome back for Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season. The season kicked off with high scoring and a record-breaking tally, but it also led to some unpredictable outcomes. Among the surprises, the Giants emerged victorious against the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. Other notable results included the 49ers pulling off an upset against the Rams in Australia, the Jets securing a small upset by defeating the Titans, the Bills dominating the Texans, and the Bears putting up an impressive 59 points.

Last week’s performances were a bit all over the place, resulting in mixed confidence levels in my picks. I scored a 7-1 record in high-confidence picks, a 1-5 record in medium-confidence picks, and a 1-5 record in low-confidence picks, which led to a 9-7 overall record for Week 1. Now, let’s dive into the predictions for this week.

For high-confidence picks, I believe the 49ers will triumph over the Dolphins, the Bucs will outperform the Browns, the Ravens will beat the Saints, and the Eagles will prevail over the Titans. Moving on to medium-confidence picks, I foresee the Chiefs defeating the Colts, the Rams winning over the Giants, the Bills taking on the Lions, and the Cowboys claiming a victory against the Commanders.

For low-confidence picks, I expect the Panthers to beat the Falcons, the Jaguars to triumph over the Broncos, the Texans to defeat the Bengals, the Steelers to overcome the Patriots, and the Cardinals to prevail against the Seahawks.
