NFL Week 2 schedule: Here’s your discussion thread for the early games

The Atlanta Falcons kick off in a little over four hours, but in the meantime, you’re gonna need to occupy your time with other football games

There’s two NFC South games on the slate, with the 49ers cheerfully heading to Carolina to get pummeled by the Panthers, and the Saints traveling to New York to play the Giants in a matchup of a pair of defensively inept teams. Those should both be a little bit fun, though the Panthers’ game will only be worthwhile if the 49ers surprise.

Otherwise, your best bet on this list is probably the Bengals and Steelers, because AFC North games tend to be nuts. See you soon for Falcons-Raiders, regardless!
