NFL Preseason Schedule 2022: Week 2 Start Times, Odds, How To Watch Every Game

Starters should see more playing time when teams take the field in Week 2 of the 2022 NFL preseason. Sixteen games will take place over five straight days, and fans will have the opportunity to watch every single contest.

Only five of the Week 2 preseason games won't be broadcast live on national television. Fans can watch out-of-market preseason games with a subscription to NFL+ for $4.99 a month or $39.99 for the year.

The Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks kick off Week 2 in the only Thursday game. Seattle's quarterback competition between Geno Smith and Drew Lock will take center stage in the contest. Bears quarterback Justin Fields completed four of his seven pass attempts for 48 yards in his preseason debut.

Half of the NFL teams will be in action Saturday. The day's games conclude with a matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Chargers.

"Monday Night football" returns in Week 2 of the preseason. The New York Jets will be without quarterback Zach Wilson as they host the Atlanta Falcons. New York's first-round pick last season is expected to miss between two and four weeks with a knee injury.

The Baltimore Ravens are the biggest Week 2 favorites due to their historic preseason winning streak. Baltimore has won 21 consecutive exhibition games, last suffering a preseason loss in 2015. The Ravens are laying 6.5 points on the road against the Arizona Cardinals.

Six games feature a point spread north of three points. In Week 1 of the preseason, 11 contests were decided by more than a field goal.
