The Cincinnati Bengals host the Jacksonville Jaguars on September 14, 2025, in a pivotal AFC matchup. Cincinnati's Joe Burrow, the 2021 No. 1 pick, seeks to exploit Jacksonville's secondary with precise deep balls to receivers like Noah Fant, the tight end who scored in his debut. Facing him is Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence, the 2021 No. 2 pick, who's leaned on rookie sensation Travis Hunter—a two-way star drafted No. 2 overall in 2025—who dazzled with 42 offensive snaps in Week 1. Key trenches battle: Jaguars DT Arik Armstead (71 QB hits career) pressures Bengals RG Dalton Risner, a recent addition who allowed just one pressure in his debut. On the ground, Jacksonville's Travis Etienne (143 yards last game) tests Cincinnati LB Logan Wilson (495 career tackles), while Jaguars nickel CB Jourdan Lewis shadows Fant in seam routes. This veteran-laden clash could hinge on interior line dominance.

On September 11, 2025, the Green Bay Packers edged the Washington Commanders 27-18 in a Thursday Night Football thriller. Packers QB Jordan Love orchestrated two TD passes—to Romeo Doubs (5 yards) and Tucker Kraft (8 yards)—while RB Josh Jacobs added a 2-yard score, building a 17-3 halftime lead. K Brandon McManus sealed it with field goals of 22 and 56 yards. Washington mounted a late rally behind QB Jayden Daniels' two TD strikes—to Zach Ertz (20 yards) and Deebo Samuel (10 yards), plus a two-point conversion to Luke McCaffrey—but inconsistencies doomed them to 1-1. Green Bay's balanced attack (242 pass, 98 rush yards) outshone Washington's 289 total yards, dropping the Commanders amid missed opportunities.

No. 6 Georgia (2-0) visits No. 15 Tennessee (2-0) on September 13, 2025, in Knoxville for an SEC showdown with CFP stakes. It's a QB duel: Georgia's Gunner Stockton debuts on the road after check-down reliance, backed by speedy WR Zac Branch (112 yards) and returning RT Earnest Greene. Tennessee's Joey Aguilar, filling for Nico Iamaleava, boasts precision (wins over Syracuse, ETSU) but faces Georgia's stifling D, which won the last four meetings 34-14 on average. Vols WR Chris Brazzell (187 yards, 2 TDs) threatens big plays, but injuries sideline key corners. Bulldogs are 3.5-point favorites; predictions split—Georgia 20-13 via defensive mastery or Tennessee 23-20 on home tempo. Kirby Smart's Bulldogs eye a statement before Alabama looms.
