NFL Week 3 picks, best bets: Broncos upset Rams, Bills rout Chargers
Key Points:
- NFL Week 2 featured low-scoring games and injuries, with weather impacting the Bears-Vikings game and key player Jaxson Dart injured, leading to a less exciting week for fans.
- The analyst's picks went 7-9 against the spread and 2-3 on best bets, correctly predicting 49ers' blowout win over Dolphins and Jets keeping it close against Packers, but missing on Titans vs. Eagles and Mayfield's loss to Browns.
- Key Week 3 picks include Texans (-1.5) over Colts due to Colts' poor defense, Bills (-7) over Chargers given Chargers' struggles on both offense and defense, and Lions (-6.5) over Jets as Lions' offense is expected to outperform.
- The Broncos (+2.5) are favored for an upset against the Rams, with Denver showing improvement and quarterback Bo Nix having a strong record against NFC teams, while Eagles (-4.5) are favored over Bears despite Bears' strong rushing offense and backup QB Case Keenum starting.
- Overall, the analyst's top five picks ATS record stands at 5-5, with an overall ATS record of 15-17 and a straight-up record of 19-13 through Week 2.
