Mackenzie Rivers and Dane Rivera talk NFL Survivor for Week 2.

NFL Week 2 Survivor Picks Recap

Mackenzie Rivers (0:14 –1:30 ) opened celebrating Week 1: “Favorites go 12 and four… our selections go three and oh.” He outlined their pool strategies, from consensus picks to sharp alternatives.

Dan Rivera (1:30 –2:53 ) avoided heavy betting, warning the Chiefs “might just be average… until they get this wide receiver situation figured out.”

Rivers (2:53 –7:06 ) noted scoring dipped because of pace: “10 drives per game would be the lowest since 2002.” He pushed the Ravens, citing a 29–5 straight-up trend for teams rebounding from blown leads.

Rivera (7:06 –10:48 ) backed multiple Ravens entries but recalled Buffalo’s shocking 2021 upset as a turnover caution.

Both (10:48 –18:10 ) debated Arizona. Rivera doubted Kyler Murray’s consistency, but Rivers cited Carolina’s weak defense and Bryce Young’s struggles.

Rivera (18:11 –21:50 ) floated Detroit but questioned Caleb Williams’ NFL readiness. Rivers hesitated: “The Lions just don’t have the muscle memory of being a good team.”

On Buffalo (22:59 –28:15 ) Rivera labeled them “buyer beware,” warning of a Jets upset.

Dallas & Rams (28:16 –37:46 ) split opinions: Rivera leaned pass, while Rivers praised Dallas’ efficiency. Both agreed the Rams are risky but usable now.

Closing (37:46 –43:37 ): Consensus formed: load heavily on Baltimore, sprinkle one on Arizona, and take a contrarian shot with Denver. “Our official official consensus pick is the Baltimore Ravens.”
