Week 2 was rough across the board with the NFL landscape still attempting to take shape, but everyone will be looking to bounce back with a big week in Week 3.

Check out the standings after two weeks:

Josh Hill: 19-13
Mike Dyce: 16-16
Patrick Allen: 15-17
Josh Sanchez: 14-18
Jack Jorgensen: 13-19

After all of the wild and unpredictable games and injuries that piled up in the second week of the season, there are fewer consensus picks among the panel than ever before. The teams that do have everyone’s confidence are the New England Patriots, Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals and then two teams who are searching for their first win of the season — the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts.
