If I've learned anything in the past 24 hours, I should probably stop watching Netflix, because the first thing that came to my mind after the end of the second week of the season of the NFL is that I'm pretty sure we are now. live in the head down.
I mean, think about it: we are now living in a world where the Buccaneers are tied for first place, where the Bears kickers are really scoring goals, which matter, where Eli Manning is not the starting quarterback New York Giants and Andy Dalton have as many wins in the playoffs as all starting quarterbacks in the AFC North Division. Of course, this number is zero, but do not tell Dalton, because there is a good chance that his agent will use this fact to facilitate the negotiation of the next quarterback contract.
As if all this was not strange enough, Orlando Bloom has the dead skeleton of his dog ridden home.
Although this tweet probably seems out of place, I included it for two reasons: first, Orlando and I have the same birthday – which probably explains why we are both incredibly attractive – and the second reason why tweet is it's because the dogs are dead for me this week … well, the underdogs. I'm not proud of that, but I take a lot of favorites in the third week. So, to know who I'm going to take, let's go to the choices.
In fact, before you make the choices, here's a quick reminder that you can check out the weekly picks of each CBSSports.com NFL expert by clicking here. I get five cents for anyone who clicks on this link, so be sure to click early and often. In fact, this is not true, I think the money really goes to Will Brinson.
Speaking of Brinson, he is the host of the Pick Six podcast and, in case I have not made it clear in the last two weeks, I will join him three days a week on the podcast – Monday, Tuesday and Friday. – for the rest of the NFL season. Although I am only one day for three days a week, there is a new episode every day from Monday to Friday and you should try to listen as often as possible (you can listen to the Tuesday episode below and click here to view and subscribe).
We do not just talk about football on the podcast. Sometimes we discuss important topics in life, such as whether it would be useful to eat dog food for a whole year if $ 20 million was involved.
Apparently, I am anti-dog this week, because I will not eat dog food for a fee and I do not choose the underdogs.
Well, you probably have enough that I impose the podcast, so let's go to the choices of the 3rd week. By the way, I hope the field advantage is a real thing, as I'm taking 12 teams home this week.
Choice of the 3rd week of the NFL
Tennessee (1-1) to Jacksonville (0-2)
Thursday at 20:20 ET (NFL network)
Point of propagation: Titans, -1.5
Jalen Ramsey apparently decided that he no longer wanted to play for Jacksonville, which is not good news for a team that has to play a game in less than 48 hours. The star corner of the Jaguars asked for an exchangeand if you are wondering where his claim is on the distraction scale of the AFC South that I have just invented, I think it is slightly below the loss Colts. quarter departure to retirement less than three weeks before the start of the season, but slightly above the Titans, letting their field ignite over the weekend.
If you missed the fire, here is a video of it.
For me, this whole video is kind of a symbol of the state of South AFC right now. It could be said that the fire represents the season of the burning Jaguars while Jags coach, Doug Marrone, is the type at the extinguisher that manages to make matters worse. The guys in blue shirts who wander without doing anything are the Titans, because that's what their offense did in substance during week 2.
Of course, this may not be important here, as Tennessee has totally dominated Jacksonville over the past two years. The Titans have won four consecutive games against the Jaguars, largely because Jacksonville has not been able to slow them down. In these four wins, the Titans averaged 177.3 yards per race. So I think what I'm trying to say here is that Derrick Henry is going to run on the Jags defense on Thursday, which should not be difficult, because If Ramsey's complaints are any indication, the Jags start to to have the impression of giving up the season.
I take the Titans, but I will be honest, I hate attacking those who have the audacity to wear this type of outfit in public.
If there is a movie about a retired NFL quarterback who turns to adult movies to earn enough money to prevent his 70s disco club from going bankrupt, Gardner Minshew could certainly play the role of … or Tom Selleck. He could probably play that role too.
Unfortunately for Minshew, he will not play the role of a winning quarterback on Thursday.
The choice: 16-13 Jaguars Titans

Atlanta (1-1) to Indianapolis (1-1)
1 pm ET (CBS)
Point of propagation: Colts, -2.5
I know we are only two games out of the season, but I have already seen enough Falcons offense this year to know that Matt Ryan throwing the ball does not seem to really work. Whenever Ryan comes down to pass, I noticed that one of the following three things seems to happen: he is fired, he makes an interception or, in a way or a other, he launches a touch pass.
As you probably noticed, two of these problems are serious. If someone told me that I was going to be run over by a car, stabbed in the eye or winning the lottery every time I left my house, I would NEVER leave my house. Although winning the lottery sounds like a pleasure, I would rather not be stabbed in the eye or hit by a car, which is why I would live the rest of my days as a hermit. If you are wondering what my strange scenario has to do with something, I mention it only because it's also a situation where there are two bad options. I think my main point is that being a fan of Falcons can not be easy.
The Falcons could also help Ryan by setting the race, but if the first two weeks of the season have been announced, it will not happen any time soon. The Falcons have an average of only 65 rushing yards per game, making it the fifth-worst NFL total. In fact, the only teams ranked ahead of them in the dispatches are the Bengals, Dolphins, Redskins and Steelers, who have combined to get exactly zero wins this season.
You know what, though, I do not want to talk about the Falcons offense anymore because it prevents me from talking about the one thing I really want to talk about in this game: THE FACT THAT KICKERS ARE FURTHER THAN MY GRANDPARENTS.
Well, they are not that old, but Adam Vinatieri (46) and Matt Bryant (44) are the two oldest players in the NFL. The Falcons have four players on their team who were not even born when Vinatieri played his first NFL game in 1996.
Of course, you probably already knew that Vinatieri was an old man because he was kicking like an old man. The Colts kicker has been so bad this season that he has contemplated retirement after the second weekbut the joke was on us, because Vinatieri is never going to retire. Although he has struggled this season, I expect him to get rid of his difficulties with a WINNING GOAL ON THE FIELD AGAINST THE FALCONS. Oh, and if someone makes a mark at home, I predict the winning goals this week.
The prediction here: Vinatieri beats the Colts to victory then decides to play until 50 years old.
The choice: Colts 26-23 on the Falcons
Baltimore (2-0) to Kansas City (2-0)
1 pm ET (CBS)
Point of propagation: Chiefs, -6.5
Even though there are 10 undefeated teams in the NFL, this match is somehow the only one of the program this week that will feature two undefeated teams that will face each other. I'm not usually one to tell people what to do with their lives, but if you have projects with someone at 1 pm. AND Sunday, you should absolutely cancel these plans to watch this game. I'm not saying that simply because it's on CBS, although that's an added benefit.
The problem with the Ravens, is that I'm still not sure of their quality this year. To be clear, they are definitely good, I do not know how much. During the first week, they beat the Dolphins 59-10 in a match that told me nothing because it was against the Dolphins. During the second week, their defense was actually beaten against the Cardinals, which is not good news for Baltimore, as the Chiefs' attack is essentially the attack Cardinals, but with about 45 times more talent.
I see this match turn into a shootout, but I'm not sure the Ravens will be able to follow Patrick Mahomes and a Chiefs offense that seems to be breaking five new records every week. If you missed the second week, Mahomes threw for 278 yards in a quarter, which is more than what Lamar Jackson pitched in the full Ravens match Sunday (272). Of course, Jackson also did something on Sunday, that no other player in the history of the NFL did, including Mahomes.
Basically, I think what I mean here is that 25 different records will be defeated on Sunday and the Chiefs will win a shootout.
The choice: Heads 34-31 on the Ravens
Houston at L.A. Chargers
4:25 pm ET (CBS)
Point of propagation: Chargers, -3
That does not seem possible, but Deshaun Watson has already been sacked 10 times in total this year, which is the highest number in the NFL for two weeks. In fact, the Texans offensive line has been so bad this season that Houston fans seem to fear for Watson's life.
I am not sure that playing behind the offensive line of Texans represents a risk for the job, but if so, I hope Watson will address the right people from the department of Labor to ensure that he receives some kind of salary for the workers from this. To give you an idea of Watson's disastrous situation, not only was he sacked 62 times higher in the NFL last season, but he's also about to beat one of those NFL records that no one really wants beat.
Watson was sacked four or more times in eight consecutive games, which is tied for the longest run in the history of the NFLwhich means that if he is fired four times in Los Angeles, he will have the record for himself.
The good news for Watson and the Texans is that the Chargers have not been able to send anyone back this year. The Chargers have only counted two sacks in 2019, which equals the third lowest total of the NFL in two weeks. Basically, the Chargers' defense against the offensive line of the Texans is like the NFL's version of the unstoppable force versus an immutable object, unless otherwise. This is the very stopable force against a bunch of moving objects that can not protect Deshaun Watson.
The Texans have never beaten the Chargers in the history of the franchise, so I think that means I have to choose L.A.
The choice: 23-20 Chargers on Texans
Lock of the week
New Orleans (1-1) in Seattle (2-0)
4:25 pm ET (Fox)
Point of propagation: Seahawks, -4.5
If I were smart, the lock of the week would be only me who would attack dolphins every week, but it's too easy and I hate easy, that's why I always throw the instruction manual immediately after bought a piece of furniture at IKEA. If you thought it was difficult to gather all this information with an instruction manual, just wait to try to assemble something from IKEA without an instruction manual. It's like trying to explain the math to a baby, but you probably do not care about calculus or babies, so let's go back to the lock of the week.
If you missed it, Drew Brees will not play Sunday because of a thumb injurywhich means Teddy Bridgewater will only start his second game in three years this week. Brees has the ability to handle the Saints' offensive perfectly. Even though he probably would have struggled to fight in Seattle, I do not really expect Bridgewater to do miracles on Sunday.
Since hiring Pete Carroll in 2010, the Seahawks have never lost a home game in September (15-0) and I do not think this series of defeats will end in the face of a quarter that has not started a game on the road since the regular 2015 Vikings. final season.
The choice: Seahawks 30-16 on Saints
Registry of the week: 2-0 without fail, 1-1 against the gap
NFL Week 3 Choice: Everything Else
Invoices 20-17 on the Bengals
Cowboys 34-13 on the dolphins
The Vikings 31-20 against the Raiders
Patriots 37-17 on the Jets
The Packers 23-13 on the Broncos
Lions 23 to 20 against the Eagles
Cardinals 19-16 against the Panthers
The buccaneers 24-16 against the giants
49ers 27-17 about the Steelers
Rams 27-24 on Browns
Bears 20-13 over Redskins
Last week
Best choice: Last week, I predicts the Texans would score 13 points and beat the Jaguars, then the Texans came out and scored 13 points and beat the Jaguars. Now, did I know that Jalen Ramsey was going to have a total collapse on the sideline and almost fight against her coach? Of course I did it.
If I know one thing about Jaguars, it is that no team does better than the other a secondary malfunction.
Want to see a player almost fight his coach? Check the Jaguars touch line.
Want to see a player threatens to hit a fan? Check the Jaguars touch line.
You want to see a player suspended for running on the field hit a player from the other team? I do not even need to tell you because you know exactly where to look – the sideline of the Jaguars.
The sideline of the Jaguars is apparently a lawless country where the rules of civilized society do not exist, and fortunately for us, we will all be lucky enough to witness the total chaos of the sidelines of the Jaguars this week since the Jags will play on national television. . If the Jags really want to add something dramatic this week, they'll either trade Ramsey in the middle of Thursday's game, or they'll bring a Jaguar to the sideline. I think that one or the other of these would make a good television.
The worst choice: I wrote a lot of nice things about the Bengals last week and I regret them now. In my Week 2 picks, I defeated the Bengals instead of the 49ers because I'd been sold to Andy Dalton after watching the Seahawks ignite by 418 yards in the first match of Cincinnati. After this performance, I immediately jumped on what I thought was the fashionable Andy Dalton train, but the joke was on me because there's nothing like the Andy fashionable train Dalton. You do not get a fashionable train until you have won a playoff game.
Record of choice
Right in week 2: 11-5
SU together: 23-8-1
Against the spread of week 2: 9-7
TTY in general: 17-14-1
You can find John Breech on Facebook or Twitter and If he does not do any of these things, he is probably trying to put together the 19 things that IKEA has not yet assembled.
