Upset alert for NFL Week 2? Why these 5 favorites could easily drop their matchup, including the Ravens

The NFL isn't shy about throwing curveballs. Whenever you think you have teams pegged and know how a given week will unfold, the league reminds you that anything can happen.

We were reminded of that right out of the gate in Week 1, where there were several upsets across the league. The most noteworthy of them all came from the Arizona Cardinals. They were the biggest underdog of the entire Week 1 slate and, despite that, pulled off the outright win over the Chargers on the road. The New York Giants were another team that defied the odds and beat out the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night.

Those two upsets weren't on our radar last week, but we did guide you to two of them. We correctly put the Titans and Rams on upset alert, and they each came out of the opener 0-1, losing to the Jets and 49ers, respectively. We nearly had another in the Houston Texans, but Josh Allen's late-game heroics and C.J. Stroud's fourth-quarter fumble fumbled that opportunity away.

Now, we turn our attention to Week 2, where we've again identified five favorites that could be on upset alert.
