The reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs began their push for their third consecutive Super Bowl with a Week 1 victory over the Baltimore Ravens.

Our picks for the biggest and best games of NFL Week 2

Week 2 of the 2024-25 NFL season features some big-time games that you won’t want to miss. Here are our picks for the top three games of the week, all available live with a Fubo subscription.

It’s not just the fact that both the Saints and Cowboys won in Week 1, it’s the manner in which they won that has us adding Sunday’s game between the New Orleans Saints and Dallas Cowboys to our must-watch list. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott became the highest-paid player in NFL history, signing a four-year, $240 million contract extension ahead of Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns. Prescott then completely dominated the Browns in a 33-17 upset victory that exposed a vulnerable Browns offense.

Derek Carr led the Saints to a 47-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Carr’s historically uneven play was nowhere to be seen Sunday, replaced by an energetic and efficient pitcher who missed just four of 23 shots. If Carr and the Saints continue to excel as they did in Week 1, fans are guaranteed a top-tier matchup when the Saints take on the Cowboys in Week 2.

  • 1 pm ET (10 am PT)

The defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs enter their second game against the Cincinnati Bengals after a 27-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1. The Chiefs won by one foot (literally) and showed off a solid defense that worked well together, beating a solid Ravens team that should be title-worthy this season. The Bengals suffered a messy Week 1 loss to the New England Patriots, but a healthy Joe Burrow should never be underestimated.

Burrow and Chiefs quarterback Pat Mahomes are the last two AFC starting quarterbacks to play in the Super Bowl, and Burrow is one of two quarterbacks to beat Mahomes in the playoffs. The other is Tom Brady, who will be calling the Saints vs. Cowboys game earlier today.

  • Cincinnati Bengals vs. Kansas City Chiefs
  • 4:25 pm ET (1:25 pm PT)

Chicago Bears fans are excited to see USC alum Caleb Williams finally bring victory to Soldier Field. So far, so good. Williams may have had a mixed start to the NFL regular season on Sunday, but the Bears did come away with a win over the Tennessee Titans.

The Texans beat the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1 and second-year quarterback CJ Stroud proved he was no fluke last season. The Bears vs. Texans game gives the Texans a rare “Sunday Night Football” matchup that will showcase the skills of two future elite NFL quarterbacks. We’ll be watching the game.

  • Chicago Bears vs. Houston Texans
