NFL Week 2 Blazin’ 5 2024: Who Will Win Saints-Cowboys?

NFL Week 2 Blazin’ 5 2024: Who Will Win Saints-Cowboys?

Week 2 features a showdown between last year’s best offensive player, CJ Stroud, and the favorite to win the award this year, No. 1 Caleb Williams.

Which young star will lead his team to victory?

Colin Koeherd shared his favorite predictions for Week 2, including Stroud’s Texans vs. Williams’ Bears showdown, and the big game on FOX between the Saints and Cowboys.

(All times ET)

49ers @ Vikings (+5)
1:00 p.m., CBS

Colin’s pick, score prediction: Vikings +5 (49ers win, 26-23)

Colin’s thoughts: “The Niners have a short week. … Christian McCaffrey is not there yet. Sam Darnold is playing against his old team. He’s met them in practice. I think they (Vikings) are putting some pressure on. … I think it’s the last series, the last few minutes of the game.”

Saints @ Cowboys (-6)
1:00 PM, FOX and FOX Sports App

Colin’s pick, score prediction: Cowboys -6 (Cowboys win, 30-20)

Colin’s thoughts: “When Dak Prescott and Mike McCarthy are the favorites and they’re playing an inferior team, they roll them. They get very comfortable being the favorites, and they play downhill. The Saints were 1-5 against playoff teams last year. The Saints get their wins against bad teams.”

Fighter jets @ Titans (+3.5)
1:00 p.m., CBS

Colin’s pick, score prediction: Jets -3.5 (Jets win, 24-10)

Colin’s thoughts: “The Jets’ offense is getting better every week. … And I’m not sure Tennessee has an NFL quarterback. The Jets were physically crushed. They’re going to play with their hair on fire. Their defense is going to be fine.”

Steelers @ Broncos (+2.5)
4:25 p.m., CBS

Colin’s pick, score prediction: Broncos +2.5 (Broncos win, 23-20)

Colin’s thoughts: “I think Sean Payton and his guys … maybe they don’t have a great staff, but they held the Seahawks to 158 passing yards and had two turnovers. I’ve said all offseason, I think Denver’s staff is better than you think.”

Blazin’ 5: Vikings beat 49ers, Jets beat Titans, Texans beat Bears

Blazin' 5: Vikings beat 49ers, Jets beat Titans, Texans beat Bears

Bears @ Texans (-6.5)
8:20 p.m., NBC

Colin’s pick, score prediction: Texans -6.5 (Texans win 27-17)

Colin’s thoughts: “I think CJ Stroud is incredible. The kid is incredible. He runs with purpose, he’s one of the most accurate passers. Now they got Joe Mixon… they got Stefon Diggs. And by the way, the Bears offense is a mess. I think Houston is going to completely dominate the time of possession. I think it’s a mismatch, and I don’t understand the line.”
