The NFL didn’t disappoint with an engaging series of games for Kickoff Weekend, particularly the prime time national games.
Week two has another interesting slate of games kicked off by one of the best games of the week on Thursday night.
That’s followed up by nine games in the 1:00 PM Eastern time block and then three games in the 4:05/4:25PM Eastern time block. As usual, Sunday Night Football has week one here J.J. McCarthy leading the Minnesota Vikings with their fired up crowd against exciting young quarterback Michael Penix and the Atlanta Falcons.
It all wraps up for week two with two Monday Night Football games with Tampa Bay against Houston in the early game at 7:00PM Eastern and the Chargers and Raiders facing off in the 10:00PM window.
Each week during the season, I will be making my picks with my buddy David on his SportsKrunch with DKrom podcast as we’ve done regularly for the past five years (and pre-pandemic as well). This weeks’ episode is available here.
Please give a listen each week on your preferred podcast provider. All back episodes are available here at Apple podcasts.
