The first week of the 2014 NFL season is in the books.

Some games went more or less according to script. For example, both of last year's Super Bowl participants looked dominant in beating playoff teams at home.

However, some games told a new tale. The Kansas City Chiefs were blown out at Arrowhead by the Tennessee Titans. The New England Patriots squandered a big second-half lead and fell in Miami.

And the Cleveland Browns nearly came back from 27-3 down to upset the Pittsburgh Steelers, an act that I'm pretty sure would have ripped the space-time continuum and killed us all.

So, as we give thanks for the fact that the universe still exists and prepare for a week of NFL action highlighted by some key divisional battles, here's a look at how the national lead and division lead writers here at Bleacher Report expect Week 2 to play out.
