Win the Super Bowl with Xbet! Week 2 of the 2024 NFL regular season was all about the upset.
In a surprising turn of events during Monday Night Football, the Atlanta Falcons upset the Philadelphia Eagles by one point.
Saquon Barkley’s dropped pass prevented the Eagles from running out the clock, allowing the Falcons to score a quick touchdown, with Kirk Cousins leading the way.
The New Orleans Saints rolled Dallas, 44-19 – the 35 points they scored in the first half were the most the Cowboys had permitted before halftime in 20 years.
Kansas City did come back and beat the Cincinnati Bengals straight up (thanks to a more than iffy pass interference call on a desperation fourth-down heave), but they didn’t cover the spread.
We have each team’s updated odds to win the Super Bowl and some thoughts about a few of the contenders.

Dark Horses
Let’s start with a couple of dark horses that looked awfully good last week. There are the Arizona Cardinals, who thumped the Rams at home, 41-10.
Kyler Murray posted the first perfect quarterback rating of his six-season career, but the team has often lacked a running game.
With James Conner at starting tailback and Emari Demercado coming on as the third-down back, the offense suddenly has balance. Demercado has been on the field for 16 of 24 third downs through two games.
He had pass blocks on four of the 10 pass plays when he was on the field, and the Cardinals have converted nine of the 16 third downs they faced with him on the field.
^New Orleans Saints
Let’s also look at the Saints, who lead the NFL with 91 points scored through two games.
They are now 2-0 after routing the Carolina Panthers (expected) and the Dallas Cowboys (unexpected).
The pass defense looked vulnerable going into Week 2 thanks to the injury of cornerback Marshon Lattimore (hamstring).
However, Kool-Aid McKinstry stepped up on the outside, allowing the defense to keep Alontae Taylor in slot coverage.
Teams tend to churn through cornerbacks in this league, so McKinstry will provide needed depth the rest of the way.
With their opportunistic offense and their physical, fast defense, this is a team that could not only win the NFC South at this point but could make a deep playoff run.
^Kansas City Chiefs
You can’t talk about Super Bowl odds without discussing the Chiefs.
They have a 2-0 record after impressive home wins over Baltimore and Kansas City. Rashee Rice has returned with speed, and Xavier Worthy has impressed with his touches as well.
The loss of tailback Isiah Pacheco for an extended period of time will add some pressure to the pass offense, but we’ve seen Patrick Mahomes excel under pressure for years.
One key contributor on defense and special teams has been Leo Chenal, who comes on to join the pass rush.
He has the third-highest pressure percentage (10.3%) among any Chief with at least 10 pass rushes.
He also came on the field to block on offense in short-yardage situations and appeared in 17 special teams plays.
