Week 3 is upon us in the NFL, and after a chaotic Week 2 filled with upsets, fans are left wondering what surprises are in store for this upcoming slate of games. With only one staffer managing to finish with a winning record in their game picks last week, there’s a sense of unpredictability in the air as we head into the third week of the season.
“There are a few games where multiple writers or editors predict an upset,” says one insider, hinting at the potential for even more surprises on the horizon.
One team that has stood out so far this season is the New Orleans Saints, who have been absolutely dominant. They are set to face off against the Philadelphia Eagles, a team looking to bounce back from a brutal last-minute loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers and Pittsburgh Steelers are both vying to maintain their perfect 3-0 records. And the Baltimore Ravens are eager to secure their first win of the season against a Dallas Cowboys team that suffered a blowout loss to the Saints in Week 2.
With such high stakes and fierce competition, every game is crucial at this stage of the season. And as we gear up for another exciting week of NFL action, let’s take a look at who the experts are picking:
– Albert Breer, senior NFL reporter
– Conor Orr, senior writer
– Gilberto Manzano, staff writer
– Matt Verderame, staff writer
– John Pluym, managing editor
