Analyzing the NFL Preseason Week 2 Top Predictions and Winning Favorites
Baltimore Ravens over Miami Dolphins
Both of these teams got their NFL preseason off to a winning start. The Ravens easily handled the Washington Redskins 23-3, while the Dolphins had a surprising 23-20 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The big news in this game will be the arrival of Jay Cutler at QB for the Dolphins after Ryan Tannehill went down for the season with an injury. Tough to say how much time Cutler will get, but you would have to imagine that they will want to get him as many reps as possible. Look for the Ravens D to take advantage of Cutler’s rustiness.BALTIMORE RAVENS TEAM STATISTICS

Seattle Seahawks over Minnesota Vikings
The Seahawks are almost certainly going to be one of the Super Bowl favorites this season, and they gave a hint of their potential depth with an impressive 48-17 win over the Chargers in Week 1 of the NFL preseason. The Vikings also got off to a winning start, beating the Buffalo Bills in a 17-10 defensive battle that wasn’t really a surprise to anyone. I like the Seahawks to win this one quite comfortably, although I don’t see them racking up huge points this week.SEATTLE SEAHAWKS TEAM STATISTICS

The Redskins offense did not look particularly good in their preseason opener against the Ravens, and it’s tough to imagine that they are going to be any better versus the Packers, even with the game being at home. Green Bay were efficient in all areas of their game in their opener, a comfortable 24-9 win over the Eagles. It’s never easy to go on the road and win, but I think the Packers will be just too much for the Redskins in this one.GREEN BAY PACKERS TEAM STATISTICS

When you are looking to have a bounce back season, you want to get back to the habit of winning as early as possible, which means having a solid preseason. The Carolina Panthers definitely fall into that category, and they will be pleased with their performance in Week 1 of the NFL preseason, where they put together a solid 27-17 win over the Houston Texans. Things did not go well at all for the Titans in their preseason opener, falling 7-3 to the Jets in a game where their O-line was harshly victimized by the New York D. They will need to improve greatly against the Panthers, which I don’t see happening.CAROLINA PANTHERS TEAM STATISTICS

This is arguably the best match-up in Week 2 of the NFL preseason, as there are a lot of folks out there who believe that this could well be a potential Super Bowl preview. T.J. Watt looked like the real deal in his first NFL action, delivering a pair of sacks for the Steelers, and looking like a handful in every single play.
The Falcons stumbled out of the gate with a 23-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins in their preseason opener, but no real reason to worry. That said, I think they will come up a little short again this week at Heinz Field.
