- Buffalo is coming off a wild comeback vs. the Ravens, winning 41-40 after erasing a 15-point 4th quarter deficit.
- The Bills are dealing with injury issues up front. Ed Oliver is ruled out.
- Rookie T.J. Sanders and maybe other young defenders will need to step up.
- The Jets, despite a narrow loss in Week 1, showed life: a strong running game (Breece Hall), good yards, a dynamic offense under Justin Fields.
- Betting lines favor Buffalo by about 6-7 points. The over/under is moderate (~47-48).
- Key matchup: how well can the Jets' front line & secondary slow down Josh Allen, both pass and run. And how will Buffalo fill the gap missing Oliver against a Jets run attack.
- Prediction: Seems likely Bills win a tight one but Jets cover, maybe final score around Bills 27, Jets 20 / Bills 24-21.
Giants @ Cowboys
- Both teams enter 0-1. Giants stumbled vs. the Commanders (21-6 loss) with anemic offense.
- Russell Wilson is the starter for now, despite criticism and pressure, with rookie QB Jaxson Dart looming if things don't improve.
- Giants defense, especially the edge rushers (Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Abdul Carter), must impose themselves. Cowboys O-line has shown weaknesses, especially in pass protection. Giants could exploit that.
- Cowboys are also looking for improvement after a close loss to the Eagles in Week 1. Home opener helps.
- Cowboys favored by ~4.5-6.5 points. Giants want to avoid 0-2; plus the history leans heavily toward Dallas.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
