2024 NFL Week 2 - 4QWI Staff Pick'ems

Updated: Sep 22

Welcome to Week 2 of 4QWI staff Pick'ems - a blog series in which a panel of 4QWI staff and friends come through to predict three spicy NFL Games per week, with standings being kept all season. Along with this article, our Fantasy Football Week 2 Starts & Sits for all positions are out on the website right now, so be sure to check that out and get your lineups right.


With that, let's jump in with a recap from last week:

Week 1 Matchup 1: Pittsburgh Steelers @ Atlanta Falcons

Noah: Steelers

Brett: Steelers

Kevin: Falcons

Specht: Falcons

Austin: Falcons

Jay: Falcons

Big D: Falcons

Week 1 Matchup 2: Dallas Cowboys @ Cleveland Browns

Noah: Cowboys

Brett: Browns

Kevin: Cowboys

Specht: Cowboys

Austin: Cowboys

Jay: Browns

Big D: Cowboys


Week 1 Matchup 3: New York Jets @ San Francisco 49ers

Noah: 49ers

Brett: 49ers

Kevin: 49ers

Specht: 49ers

Austin: 49ers

Jay: 49ers

Big D: Jets


That brings our current standings to: Noah: (3-0)

Brett: (2-1)

Kevin: (2-1)

Specht: (2-1)

Austin: (2-1)

Jay: (1-2)

Big D: (1-2)


Now, let's see what matchups are on our radar this week: 1) Indianapolis Colts @ Green Bay Packers (Sunday, 9/15 @ 1:00 PM EST)

A matchup that unfortunately may be less enticing now has the Colts traveling to Green Bay to take on the Packers. Despite Malik Willis very likely starting for Green Bay, the Lambeau advantage and general talent on the Packers roster can’t make this a sure shot necessarily (though all of us may tend to agree).


Noah (3-0): Colts

Brett (2-1): Colts

Kevin (2-1): Colts

Specht (2-1): Colts

Austin (2-1): Colts

Jay (1-2): Colts

Big D (1-2): Colts


2) Seattle Seahawks @ New England Patriots (Sunday, 9/15 @ 1:00 PM EST)

Well this should be interesting! After holding the Bengals at bay in Cincinnati, the Patriots have a realistic opportunity to begin their season 2-0, but do not have the easiest opponent. The Seahawks visit Foxborough as a scrappy sneaky wild card level team that just beat the Broncos to open their season. Kenneth Walker is likely to miss the game and that should be factored in. This should be a grit and grind type of game. This panel of Patriots diehards (including yours truly who will be at Gillette for the game) has a few of us trending towards hope for this team while we still can.


Noah (3-0): Patriots

Brett (2-1): Seahawks

Kevin (2-1): Patriots

Specht (2-1): Patriots

Austin (2-1): Patriots

Jay (1-2): Seahawks

Big D (1-2): Seahawks

Los Angeles Rams @ Arizona Cardinals (Sunday, 9/15 @ 4:05 PM EST)

The Cardinals may be a bit better than we all assumed after having played the Buffalo Bills extremely tough last week, nearly taking the dub. Scoring 28 points off of one Marvin Harrison Jr. reception makes you wonder what this team could look like once this generational rookie hooks up with Kyler Murray proper. The Rams for their part lost a close game to the Super Bowl-hopeful Lions, and are now missing Puka Nacua for the next 4 weeks minimum. That said, this is still a talented team that shouldn’t be counted out as long as Matthew Stafford has Cooper Kupp.


Noah (3-0): Rams

Brett (2-1): Rams

Kevin (2-1): Cardinals

Specht (2-1): Cardinals

Austin (2-1): Rams

Jay (1-2): Rams

Big D (1-2): Rams
