Colin Cowherd shared his approved picks for Week 2, including that showdown between Stroud’s Texans and Williams’ Bears, and the mountainous matchup on FOX between the Saints and the Cowboys.
(All times ET)
49ers @ Vikings (+5)
1 p.m., CBS
Colin’s pick, accumulate prediction: Vikings +5 (49ers score, 26-23)
Colin’s tips: “Niners are on a short week. … Christian McCaffrey is still out. Sam Darnold is playing his old team. He’s faced them in practice. I think they [Vikings] put some pressure. … I think this goes down to the final sequence, the final minutes of the game.”
Saints @ Cowboys (-6)
1 p.m., FOX and FOX Sports app
Colin’s pick, accumulate prediction: Cowboys -6 (Cowboys score, 30-20)
Colin’s tips: “When Dak Prescott and Mike McCarthy are favored and playing an inferior team, they roll them. They’re very comfortable as a favorite, playing downhill. The Saints were 1-5 against playoff teams last year. The Saints get their wins off lousy teams.”
Jets @ Titans (+3.5)
1 p.m., CBS
Colin’s pick, accumulate prediction: Jets -3.5 (Jets score, 24-10)
Colin’s tips: “The Jets offense is gonna get better every week. … And I’m not sure Tennessee has an NFL quarterback. The Jets were humiliated physically. They’ll play with their hair on fire. Their defense will be fine.”
Steelers @ Broncos (+2.5)
4:25 p.m, CBS
Colin’s pick, accumulate prediction: Broncos +2.5 (Broncos score, 23-20)
Colin’s tips: “I think Sean Payton and his guys … they may not have great personnel, but they held the Seahawks to 158 passing yards and got two turnovers. I’ve said all offseason: I think Denver’s personnel is better than you think.”
Blazin’ 5: Vikings cowl vs. 49ers, Jets beat Titans, Texans over Bears 
Bears @ Texans (-6.5)
8:20 p.m., NBC
Colin’s pick, accumulate prediction: Texans -6.5 (Texans score 27-17)
Colin’s tips: “I think C.J. Stroud is incredible. The kid’s unbelievable. He’s intentional with his running, he’s one of the more accurate passers. Now they’ve given him Joe Mixon … they’ve added Stefon Diggs. And by the way, the Bears offense is a mess. I think Houston is gonna totally dominate time of possession. I think it’s a mismatch, and I don’t get the line.”
