Week 3 NFL Picks: Straight Up and Survivor Pools
Jimmy Kempski's Week 3 NFL predictions with survivor pool insights
In brief
Jimmy Kempski's Week 3 NFL predictions with survivor pool insights Chiefs are the top survivor pick for Week 3 NFL pools Originally reported by PhillyVoice.
Falcons vs Packers
Packers miss key offensive linemen and WRs. Falcons start Michael Penix after Cooper Rush injuries.
“The Packers are frauds, and they're also extremely banged up. The Falcons stink too, but this line shouldn't be 5.5 points.”
Seahawks vs Commanders
Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba and defense edge out Commanders' weak defense.
“The Seahawks have Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and the Commanders... don't.”
Bengals vs Steelers
Aaron Rodgers has poor EPA rankings. Bengals' defense improves with high-powered offense.
“Worst EPA among QBs through the first two weeks: Aaron Rodgers (-42.12).”
Jets vs Lions
Jets' clock management issues but Lions score more points than Geno Smith can match.
“The Lions are going to put points on the board, and Geno Smith isn't going to match them.”
Titans vs Giants
Titans' hunger to win after Eagles game. Giants' injury concerns with Jaxson Dart.
“The Giants are going to be a rollercoaster ride the rest of the way. One week Jameis Winston will throw for 400 yards and 4 TDs.”
Patriots vs Jaguars
Jaguars remain underrated and healthy. Patriots overrated with key injuries.
“The Jags remain a sneaky-underrated team, and they're healthy.”
Chiefs vs Dolphins
Chiefs win again while Dolphins tank.
“This matchup is a pretty obvious survivor pick play, as the Chiefs figured out how to win again, and the Dolphins are tanking.”
Texans vs Colts
Texans overhyped. Colts' defense struggles early season.
“The Texans were a weirdly overhyped team heading into this season.”
Panthers vs Browns
Panthers' offense is strong.
“I think I like this Panthers team. Their offense is legit.”
Chargers vs Bills
Chargers 0-2 with Justin Herbert.
“Every Justin Herbert incompletion from the Chargers loss against the Raiders - you be the judge on how much blame he deserves.”
Vikings vs Buccaneers
Vikings' defense strong. Buccaneers careless with football.
“Baker Mayfield and the Bucs have been careless with the football and bad in the red zone without Mike Evans.”
Cardinals vs 49ers
49ers lead NFL in point differential. Cardinals give them trouble.
“The Niners have looked good so far, starting their season 2-0 with an impressive win over the Rams Week 1.”
Raiders vs Saints
Raiders 2-0 start. Saints explosive early games.
“The Saints have been legitimately explosive at times in their first two games this season.”
Ravens vs Cowboys
Ravens play in Rio with field concerns. Ravens' defense strong.
“If the field is sloppy, I think that favors the Ravens, who employ Derrick Henry and a running quarterback.”
Rams vs Broncos
Rams' Dream Team season back. Broncos bounce back from bad Week 1.
“The Rams spanked an overrated Giants team in front of a national audience Monday night after looking very pedestrian Week 1 in Australia.”
Eagles vs Bears
Eagles get QB3 Case Keenum. Bears' offense strong without Caleb Williams.
“The Eagles were gifted a pair of bad opponents in the Commanders and Titans to begin their season, and they'll catch another break Week 3, as budding star QB Caleb Williams almost certainly won't play.”
The one thing
Chiefs are the top survivor pick for Week 3 NFL pools
