Washington Commanders vs. Green Bay Packers picks: Who do experts like in this Week 2 matchup?

The Washington Commanders face the Green Bay Packers in the Week 2 edition of Thursday Night Football. It's quarterback Jayden Daniels' first trip to the legendary Lambeau Field, something he's looking forward to.

"You know, growing up, you hear about the history of Green Bay and everything, so I'm super excited to go to that stadium and be able to experience that," Daniels said Tuesday.

It's a battle between two teams who are expected to be NFC heavyweights. Washington is coming off a dominant 21-6 win over the New York Giants, while the Packers similarly dominated the Detroit Lions. Both defenses looked outstanding in Week 1.

Thursday's game is also the second for linebacker Micah Parsons in Green Bay. In his first game since his shocking trade for the Cowboys, Parsons played limited snaps and still came away with a sack. He has more career sacks against the Commanders than any other team.

So, who wins?
