Skip to main contentNFLHere are our picks for Week 3 in the NFL.Sep 24, 2026, 6:00 PM UTCThe season rolls on to Week 3 and it’s unclear how much more we’ve learned about any of these teams. While the NFL is always unpredictable, this season feels especially chaotic with key injuries happening early, wild upsets reigning supreme, and Tyler Shough and Bryce Young being the Top 2 quarterbacks in the NFL … somehow.This week has some really chalk-y picks, and that’s okay. Nobody has any faith in the Chargers to beat the Bills, for good reason — same with the Lions over the Jets and Seahawks over Commanders. Two sneaky games on the schedule to watch in Week 3 is the wet noodle fight between the Titans and Giants (sans Jaxson Dart), as well as Ravens vs. Cowboys, which could be a banger.Here are all out picks for Week 3 in the NFL.Week 3Mookie AlexanderJames DatorDavid FucilloBrandon GowtonJared MuellerR.J.
