Two weeks down, much more to go.
On Friday’s version of “The Herd,” Colin Cowherd shared his picks for Week 3 of the NFL season, hoping to show his luck round early within the season. Let’s get to it.
Los Angeles Chargers @ Minnesota Vikings (-1.5)
1 p.m. ET, FOX
Colin’s decide, rating prediction: Chargers +1.5 (Chargers win 27-24)
Colin’s ideas: “I am gonna take the higher crew, the higher quarterback, the higher roster. Underneath Kellen Moore, the offense has been nice: 386 yards a recreation, certainly one of 5 groups and not using a turnover. … It has been the protection. … The Vikings have been sloppy. Most giveaways within the league with seven. The speeding offense is nonexistent. … And albeit, defensively, they do not get to the quarterback.”
New Orleans Saints @ Inexperienced Bay Packers
1 p.m. ET, FOX
Colin’s decide: Saints +1 (Saints win 24-23)
Colin’s ideas: “It is the Saints protection. Have you learnt they’ve held opponents below 20 factors within the NFL for eight straight video games relationship again to final season? That is insane. … Although the Packers have scored, they’re twenty ninth in first downs gained and twenty ninth in large performs. So they do not have the power to burn you when Christian Watson will not be wholesome. … I nonetheless do not know what Jordan Love is. I do know what Derek Carr is.”
Buffalo Payments @ Washington CommandersÂ
1 p.m. ET, CBS
Colin’s decide: Commanders +6.5 (Payments win 27-24)
Colin’s ideas: “Take a look at the climate. Up the coast, tropical storm — moist, windy mess. I all the time take factors if I get a reliable crew. The protection for the Commanders leads the league in sacks and quarterback hits. Meaning Josh Allen will probably be pressured. What does Josh Allen do when he is pressured? Since Brian Daboll left, they lead all the sport in giveaways.”
Blazin’ 5: Rams upset Bengals, Commanders cowl vs. Payments, Chargers earn first win
New England Patriots @ New York Jets
1 p.m. ET, CBS
Colin’s decide: Patriots -2.5 (Patriots win 21-17)
Colin’s ideas: “Quarterback-head coach benefit normally means a win. [The Patriots have] obtained each right here. They outplayed Philly within the second half, and so they outplayed Miami arguably within the fourth quarter. … Zach Wilson is simply not a franchise quarterback and [Bill] Belichick has eaten him alive.”
Los Angeles Rams @ Cincinnati BengalsÂ
MNF, 8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN
Colin’s decide: Rams +3 (Rams win 30-27)
Colin’s ideas: “Joe Burrow could not play. He isn’t working towards. They haven’t any deep ball, and that is the way in which you’ll be able to beat the Rams. You’ll be able to go excessive generally and beat ’em. However the Rams offense this 12 months has been a shocker. … They’re buzzing offensively.”
