Here are 20 bold predictions for football fans to consider heading into Week 2 of the 2018 NFL season.
It’s crazy to think the first weekend of football from the 2018 NFL season is officially in the books when looking at all of the amazing games that took place, whether it was Aaron Rodgers somehow returning or Sam Darnold winning his first career start. As for what football fans should expect in Week 2, well let’s just say if this past weekend is any indication of what could be in store, there should be plenty of big topics worth discussing once again, especially with the Arizona Cardinals.
During the offseason, the Cardinals made a questionable decision by signing Sam Bradford to a hefty one-year deal worth $20 million after the team was forced to come up with a quick solution after Carson Palmer decided to call it a career by retiring. Despite missing out on the playoffs in each of the last two seasons, Arizona on paper seems to have a team capable of being a surprise contender in the NFC, although they certainly didn’t look like one during their home opener against the Washington Redskins.
Not only did the Cardinals come up on the losing end of the 24-6 loss to the Redskins, but Bradford looked awful for the most part, and failed to toss a single touchdown pass.
One game doesn’t defy what to expect from an entire season, but from Bradford’s perspective, it was up to the former No. 1 pick to show the Arizona fan base that he is worth every penny of that hefty contract. As for what to expect from Bradford in Week 2 when the Cardinals take on the Los Angeles Rams, well here are 20 bold predictions for football fans to consider heading into the second weekend of action.
