NFL Week 2 picks: With Aaron Rodgers gone, can Jets get past Cowboys for 2-0 start?

Week 2 of the 2023 NFL season is here. Time to move on. Time to move on if you're the New York Jets after another calamitous episode in their mostly calamitous 64-year history. Time to move forward to their date with the Dallas Cowboys and their newest Doomsday defense. Time to move on and move forward, especially if your Week 1 picks didn't pan out as you'd expected – thank you, Seattle Seahawks.

The weekend's marquee matchup is no more, Rodgers' reunion with former Packers coach Mike McCarthy in Dallas null and void. There are good games – Ravens/Bengals, Chiefs/Jaguars, Dolphins/Patriots – but nothing that rises to the level of America's Team hosting America's Tease. However Monday night should be interesting with its staggered doubleheader of Saints/Panthers (7:15 p.m. ET, ESPN) and Browns/Steelers (8:15 p.m. ET, ABC).
