from Sports Krunch w/DKROM · host Sports Krunch
1. Week 1 Reactions -Biggest Lesson Learned (DKrom: Long Snappers Matter, Hal: What was going on in the AFC South?) -GOAT of the Week (DKrom: Brian Daboll, Hal: Jalen Hurts & Nick Sirianni) -DUNCE of the Week (DKrom: Nathaniel Hackett, Hal: Atlanta Falcons) 2. Barring a slew of significant injuries, should anything less than a Lombardi Trophy in 2022 be considered an absolute failure for the Bills? 3. Do you think the Cowboys are making a mistake by rushing Dak Prescott back with such an injury, especially given the inept supporting cast he now has? 4. Truth or Exaggeration -Justin Jefferson will lead the NFL in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving TD’s in 2022 a la Cooper Kupp last season in a Kevin O’Connell offense -The New York Giants will start the season 4-0 -The Rams, in large part due to their OL issues, will not win the NFC West this season -The Houston Texans and the Chicago Bears will be a tough out for any team this season -Cardinals DC Vance Joseph severely damaged his status as a prospective head-coaching candidate with his ludicrous game plan to constantly blitz Patrick Mahomes 5. Chargers at Chiefs -Can you see the Chargers using the “rush three, drop eight” approach on Thursday night for at least some snaps? -A few weeks ago, Patrick Mahomes told reporters that fantasy owners couldn’t depend on Chiefs WR’s this season because each week, somebody different would be the main guy. Which one of those wideouts do you think will be his best friend against a Chargers defense that might be getting J.C. Jackson back this week? Does the unpredictability of who he’ll be targeting each week somehow make this Chiefs offense equally as dangerous as the Tyreek Hill years? -Key matchups: Chris Jones vs. Corey Linsley/Zion Johnson et al, George Karlaftis/Frank Clark vs. Trey Pipkins, Khalil Mack vs. Andrew Wylie, Mike Williams/Josh Palmer et al vs. Jaylen Watson (7th-round rookie from Washington State) -Picks 6. Picks for the remaining Week 2 games -Jets at Browns -Commanders at Lions -Bucs at Saints -Panthers at Giants -Patriots at Steelers -Colts at Jaguars -Dolphins at Ravens -Falcons at Rams -Texans at Broncos -Cardinals at Raiders -Seahawks at 49ers -Bengals at Cowboys -Bears at Packers -Titans at Bills -Vikings at Eagles 7. BOLD PREDICTIONS -DKrom: Texans beat Broncos 31-20. Difference in the game is Broncos drive the ball inside the five twice in the second half…and both drives end up in pick-6’s (one by Derek Stingley, Jr., the other by Jalen Pitre) -Hal: Trevor Lawrence totals 5 TD’s (4 pass, 1 rush) and 400 yards (375 passing yards, 25 rushing yards) 8. CHALLENGE FLAGS -DKrom: Sean McVay, get more unpredictable on first down -Hal: Kevin Stefanski and Cleveland Browns…keep running Chubb and Hunt 30+ times a game and win every winnable game
