Game 1: The Panthers (0-1) will host the Saints (1-0) at 7:15 pm ET on ESPN. New Orleans is a 3-point favorite.
Rebound: Bryce Young is looking for a rebound performance after completing only 52.6% of his passes for 146 yards, 1 touchdown, and 2 interceptions in the Panthers’ loss to Atlanta last week.
- Young’s longest completion went for 14 yards.
Big Three: Carolina’s secondary — which is down top corner Jaycee Horn — will be tasked with stopping the Saints’ explosive receiver trio of Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, and Michael Thomas.
Game 2: The Steelers (0-1) will host the Browns (1-0) at 8:15 pm ET on ABC. Cleveland is a 2.5-point favorite.
2-0? The Browns are looking for their first 2-0 start since returning to the NFL in 1999. The team dominated the Bengals in Week 1 with a solid running game and bullish defense.
Reversal: The Steelers, who have won 23 of their last 25 games against the Browns, are hoping to get past a pathetic 30-7 loss to the 49ers.
Hot Seat: Steelers’ offensive coordinator Matt Canada is in danger of being fired in-season and needs a big game out of Kenny Pickett and company.
