Matchup
Miami Dolphins
3-0 
Cincinnati Bengals
1-2
Thursday, Sept. 29
8:15 p.m. ET
Tough call, and a great game. Don’t want to underestimate the Dolphins, but the Bengals are home, desperate and healthier. Should come down to the wire, though.
Pick: Cincinnati 31, Miami 28
Matchup
Minnesota Vikings
2-1 
New Orleans Saints
1-2
Sunday, Oct. 2
8:30 a.m. ET
London is calling, and the Vikings are hoping to get off to a 3-1 start. The Saints continue to downplay Jameis Winston’s back injury, but he hasn’t looked sharp the past two weeks.
Pick: Minnesota 23, New Orleans 20
Matchup
Cleveland Browns
2-1 
Atlanta Falcons
1-2
The Falcons are exceeding my expectations, but the Browns are handling business and should be 3-0. Jacoby Brissett needs to simply hand off, make a few throws to Amari Cooper and get out of the way.
Pick: Cleveland 24, Atlanta 21
Matchup
Washington Commanders
1-2 
Dallas Cowboys
2-1
How could you go against the immortal Cooper Rush? All the man does is spot start and win games. Meanwhile, Carson Wentz is doing what he does; a few amazing throws, many non-amazing throws, and a bunch of sacks.
Pick: Dallas 25, Washington 16
Matchup
Seattle Seahawks
1-2 
Detroit Lions
1-2
The Lions should win this game. Much more explosive offensively, and the defensive front should get pressure on Geno Smith.
Pick: Detroit 38, Seattle 23
Matchup
Tennessee Titans
1-2 
Indianapolis Colts
1-1-1
Pick: Indianapolis 20, Tennessee 18
Matchup
Chicago Bears
2-1 
New York Giants
2-1
One of these teams is going to be 3-1. My bet is the Giants, who are at home and have the better quarterback (somehow).
Pick: New York 19, Chicago 16
Matchup
Jacksonville Jaguars
2-1 
Philadelphia Eagles
3-0
Who would have thought this would be an excellent game? Jacksonville looks like the best team in the AFC South, while the Eagles might be the best team in football. Oh, and it’s Doug Pederson’s return.
Pick: Philadelphia 30, Jacksonville 24
Matchup
New York Jets
1-2 
Pittsburgh Steelers
1-2
Zach Wilson is back. Mitch Trubisky is still here. Prepare yourselves for a defensive battle for the ages.
Pick: Pittsburgh 22, New York 16
Matchup
Buffalo Bills
2-1 
Baltimore Ravens
2-1
Best game of the week. Arguably the top two quarterbacks through the first three weeks going at it. Both have accounted for more than 85 percent of their team’s offense. In this matchup, Lamar Jackson gets the best of Josh Allen.
Pick: Baltimore 35, Buffalo 30
Matchup
Los Angeles Chargers
1-2 
Houston Texans
0-2-1
I should have taken the Jaguars last week but didn’t have the guts. I could have a repeat situation on my hands, but the Texans have looked brutal thus far.
Pick: Los Angeles 27, Houston 23
