Here are my picks for Week 3 of the 2019 NFL Season.
Thursday, September 19th
Tennessee Titans (1-1) vs Jacksonville Jaguars (0-2)- 8:20, NFL: The Titans are coming off a divisional home loss against the Indianapolis Colts. The Jaguars are coming off a tough divisional road loss in Houston against the Texans. I'm not sold on this Titans team and it showed in their loss a week ago and sans the Jalen Ramsey drama with the Jags, I think they come out and win this game at home in a low scoring affair.
Prediction: Jacksonville 20, Tennessee 13.
Sunday, September 22nd
Cincinnati Bengals (1-1) vs Buffalo Bills (2-0)- 1:00, CBS: The Bengals are coming off a disastrous home loss against the San Francisco 49ers. The Bills are coming off their second road win in East Rutherford in a row, this time against the Giants. The Bengals are definitely one of the worst five teams in the league and the Bills are clearly an improved team. Give me Josh Allen and the Bills to remain unbeaten.
Prediction: Buffalo 27, Cincinnati 13.
Miami Dolphins (0-2) vs Dallas Cowboys (2-0)- 1:00, FOX: The Dolphins are coming off yet another dismal performance, this time at the hands of the New England Patriots. The Cowboys are coming off a divisional road win in Landover against the Redskins. Josh Rosen is starting for the Dolphins this week and I don't think that will change anything for the Fins and the Cowboys are my lock of the week.
Prediction: Dallas 35, Miami 10.
Denver Broncos (0-2) vs Green Bay Packers (2-0)- 1:00, FOX: The Broncos are coming off a heartbreaking home loss against the Chicago Bears. The Packers are coming off a divisional home win over the Minnesota Vikings, I feel that the Broncos are better than their 0-2 mark and the Packers are a fraudulent 2-0, but the Packers defense will be the best unit on the field and they'll remain unbeaten.
Prediction: Green Bay 24, Denver 16.
Atlanta Falcons (1-1) vs Indianapolis Colts (2-0)- 1:00, CBS: The Falcons are coming off a Sunday Night home win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The Colts are coming off a divisional road win in Nashville against the Titans. The Falcons have the quarterback edge, but the Colts are home and arguably have the better roster and I can see Marlon Mack having success with the Colts great offensive line against the Falcons pass rush. No Darius Leonard is a big deal, but I think the Colts survive without him for this week.
Prediction: Indianapolis 24, Atlanta 20.
Baltimore Ravens (2-0) vs Kansas City Chiefs (2-0)- 1:00, CBS: This is a great game and the best one of week three! The Ravens are coming off a narrow home win over the Arizona Cardinals. The Chiefs are coming off a divisional road win in Oakland against the Raiders. I expect a lot of points in this game sans bad weather, and I expect Patrick Mahomes to find a way to keep the Chiefs unbeaten.
Prediction: Kansas City 31, Baltimore 27.
Oakland Raiders (1-1) vs Minnesota Vikings (1-1)- 1:00, FOX: The Raiders are coming off a disappointing divisional home loss against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Vikings are coming off a divisional road loss in Green Bay against the Packers. This screams Vikings blow out win with both units clicking on all cylinders.
Prediction: Minnesota 30, Oakland 13.
New York Jets (0-2) vs New England Patriots (2-0)- 1:00, CBS: The Jets are coming off a brutal Monday Night home loss against the Cleveland Browns and now with Trevor Semian's broken ankle, are down to their third string quarterback in Luke Faulk. The Patriots are coming off a shutout road win in Miami against the Dolphins. This screams domination for the Pats against their depleted divisional rival.
Prediction: New England 34, NY Jets 6.
Detroit Lions (1-0-1) vs Philadelphia Eagles (1-1)- 1:00, FOX: The Lions are coming off a nice home win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The Eagles are coming off a Sunday Night road loss in Atlanta against the Falcons. The Eagles are littered with injuries, especially on offense, but I'm not sold on the Lions offense that much and I expect the Eagles to win a low scoring game.
Prediction: Philadelphia 20, Detroit 16.
Carolina Panthers (0-2) vs Arizona Cardinals (0-1-1)- 4:05, FOX: The Panthers are coming off a brutal Thursday Night divisional home loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Cardinals are coming off a road loss in Baltimore against the Ravens. The Cards showed me a lot a week ago and I think Kyler Murray and Kliff Kingsbury get the win here at home against the Cam Newton-less Panthers.
Prediction: Arizona 27, Carolina 20.
New York Giants (0-2) vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-1)- 4:05, FOX: The Giants are coming off a home loss against the Buffalo Bills. The Bucs are coming off a nice Thursday Night divisional road win in Charlotte against the Panthers. Daniel Jones is making his first start for the Giants today and yes the defense is horrible, but Jameis Winston is someone that tends to turn the ball over regardless of how bad the opposing defense is. Big Blue gets their first win of the season courtesy of Jones and Saquon Barkley.
Prediction: NY Giants 26, Tampa Bay 20.
Houston Texans (1-1) vs Los Angeles Chargers (1-1)- 4:25, CBS: The Texans are coming off a divisional home win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Chargers are coming off a bad road loss in Detroit against the Lions in which their offense was inept. I expect both teams offenses to bounce back here and I think the Chargers will come out on top because I think Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram to take advantage of a bad Texans offensive line.
Prediction: LA Chargers 30, Houston 27.
Pittsburgh Steelers (0-2) vs San Francisco 49ers (1-1)- 4:25, CBS: The Steelers are coming off a brutal home loss against the Seattle Seahawks. The 49ers are coming off a big road win in Cincinnati against the Bengals. Mason Rudolph is starting for the Steelers with Ben Rothlisberger out for the season with a shoulder injury and they lost last week due to their defense, which they improved with the trade for Minkah Fitzpatrick. I think the Steelers get their first win in a shootout.
Prediction: Pittsburgh 27, San Francisco 24.
New Orleans Saints (1-1) vs Seattle Seahawks (2-0)- 4:25, CBS: The Saints are coming off a road loss in Los Angeles against the Rams. The Seahawks are coming off a good road win in Pittsburgh against the Steelers. Drew Brees is out for six weeks with a finger injury and Teddy Bridgewater is starting, who looked awful last week in relief. Russell Wilson has a big day to keep the Seahawks unbeaten.
Prediction: Seattle 27, New Orleans 16.
Los Angeles Rams (2-0) vs Cleveland Browns (1-1)- 8:20, NBC: The Rams are coming off a big home win over the New Orleans Saints sans Drew Brees getting hurt in the game. The Browns are coming off a Monday Night road win in East Rutherford against the Jets. Many people love the Rams in this spot due to the fact the Browns don't have a match for Aaron Donald, but I love the Browns in this spot as the crowd in Cleveland will be ruckus in what should be a fun game.
Prediction: Cleveland 26, LA Rams 23.
Monday, September 23rd
Chicago Bears (1-1) vs Washington Redskins (0-2)- 8:15, ESPN: The Bears are coming off a big road win in Denver against the Broncos thanks to an Eddie Piniero kick as time expired. The Redskins are coming off a divisional home loss against the Dallas Cowboys. The Bears defense is awesome and I think Case Keenum is in for a long night as the Bears get the road primetime win.
Prediction: Chicago 26, Washington 13.
