We're on to Week 3 in the NFL, with the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars kicking off on Thursday. That means it's time once again for our weekly look at the point spreads in order to help you win some money.
Last week, Steven Ruiz went 7-9-0(16-13-3 overall) and Charles Curtis went 5-11-0(13-16-3 overall).
We now go to each of them for comments before their picks.
Charles: Woof. Not good. Now that we've learned some things in the first two weeks, however, I feel a bounceback coming.
Steven: I put up the old Jeff Fisher record. Hopefully, I don't follow that same path and just 7-9 from now until eternity. I blame the Saints for laying an egg on Monday night.

Dolphins at Jaguars (-3)
Charles: Jaguars
Weird things happen on Thursday night and the Dolphins have shown they have plenty of fight. But Gardner Minshew is going to throw all over this defense and come away with a win and a cover.
Steven: Jaguars
The Dolphins will be without Byron Jones and if they're set on playing man coverage all game, Jay Gruden, who's off to a hot start, should be able to scheme open receivers for Minshew all game.
Raiders at Patriots (-6)
Charles: Patriots
Bill Belichick made it pretty clear he's taking this one seriously.

How can I bet against that?
Steven: Patriots
Yeah, Belichick has been game-planning non-stop since the loss in Seattle. He's going to have something crazy for that Raiders offense. And I can't see that Las Vegas defense giving Cam Newton problems.
Rams at Bills (-2)
Charles: Bills
This is tricky and I really like what I've seen out of the Rams so far. The tie-breaker is L.A. coming East, but I wouldn't be shocked to see the Rams win it by a field goal.
Steven: Rams
I've really been impressed with the Rams defense thus far and think it could give Josh Allen some problems with the complex coverages it can throw at him. I do think Buffalo's defense could be a problem for Jared Goff, but I'll take the points. The Rams are legit.
Texans at Steelers (-4)
Best Nfl Bets Week 3
Charles: Steelers
The Texans are going to run into the Steelers' defense and struggle, and I like Big Ben against that defense.
Steven: Texans
I have not been overly impressed with what I've seen out of Ben Roethlisberger and I don't know if the Steelers' blitz-heavy approach is going to bother Deshaun Watson all that much.
49ers at Giants (+4)
Charles: Giants
Hear me out: I still think the Niners win this one but their defense is banged up and Nick Mullens might start. So I'll take four-point underdogs at home.
Steven: 49ers
Even if Jimmy G misses the game, this is a coaching mismatch of the highest order. Kyle Shanahan's offense won't have a problem scoring on this Giants defense.

Titans at Vikings (+2.5)
Charles: Titans
Man, the Vikings defense has been BAD. The Mike Zimmer hot seat talk has begun, and although maybe playing in Minnesota helps, I keep seeing Ryan Tannehill - yes, that Ryan Tannehill - torching the secondary.
Steven: Vikings
I'm still not ready to give up on the Vikings. Kirk Cousins can't possibly play that poorly again, and Zimmer has to figure out the defense sooner or later. Minnesota's run defense is a concern but it's not like Derrick Henry has been producing at a high level this season. This game will teach us a lot about both teams.
Washington at Browns (-7)
Charles: Washington
You want me to lay seven points on the Browns, who didn't even cover against the Bengals? C'mon.
Steven: Washington
I'm with Charles here. A big reason Baker Mayfield played well on Thursday was that he was kept relatively clean. That ain't happening against Washington's defensive line.
Bengals at Eagles (-5.5)
Charles: Bengals
I can't trust the Eagles right now with Carson Wentz and their offensive line struggling, so I'll back Joe Burrow to cover for a second straight week.
Steven: Eagles
I'm 0-2 betting on the Eagles this year. But I'm stubborn and I don't think Wentz completely forgot how to throw a football. He'll be more accurate and the Eagles offense will look a lot better. Meanwhile, Philly's defensive line should feast against a bad Bengals o-line.
Bears at Falcons (-3)
Charles: Falcons
Ugh, I wouldn't touch this game. But because we have to, I'll back the home team even though the Bears' defense is formidable. Matt Ryan will throw and throw and throw and somehow win this game.
Steven: Falcons
The Bears are a few unlucky bounces from being 0-2 against the Lions and Giants. I know Atlanta is coming off a heart-breaking loss, but that offense is playing at a high level and I don't see Mitch Trubisky being able to keep up with Ryan.
Jets at Colts (-11)
Charles: Colts
This spread should be four points higher.
Steven: Colts
I feel like there's a conflict of interest here because I'm actually starting at receiver for the Jets this weekend. That's a joke, but, seriously, we're like two injuries away from me getting a call. That offense is a mess.
Panthers at Chargers (-6.5)
Charles: Panthers
So much garbage time back-door cover potential here.
Steven: Panthers
The Panthers defense might be the worst in the league but it is suited to slow down the kind of Justin Herbert-centric attack we saw out of the Chargers last Sunday. Give me the points.
Lions at Cardinals (-5.5)
Charles: Cardinals
I haven't stopped watching this for 24 hours straight.

How are the Lions going to stop THAT?
Steven: Cardinals
One of the reasons the Lions were able to beat up on the Cardinals offense last year was the lack of a true weapon at receiver. Well, Arizona has DeAndre Hopkins now and he should have a monster day.
Buccaneers at Broncos (+6.5)
Charles: Buccaneers
Jeff Driskel, sans Courtland Sutton, won't be able to do much this week, and even though I like the Broncos' defense, Chris Godwin will be back.
Steven: Buccaneers
Everything Charles just said. I'm not betting on Jeff Driskel against Tom Brady.
Cowboys at Seahawks (-5.5)
Charles: Seahawks
The Cowboys needed the Falcons to botch an onside kick to avoid losing last week. So traveling to Seattle, where Russell Wilson is looking like an MVP, doesn't bode well.
Steven: Cowboys
The Seahawks will win this game, but Dak Prescott is playing far too well to lay 5.5 points against him. The Cowboys offense will keep this one close enough to cover late.
Packers at Saints (-3)
Charles: Packers
Let's be bold here. I don't love what I saw out of Drew Brees last week, and I'm starting to think Aaron Rodgers is back to his old self. So I'll take the points in a close game.
Steven: Packers
I mean, did you see Drew Brees on Monday. He's starting to miss on short throws too. That's when you know things are going bad. Meanwhile, Rodgers has been playing like an MVP candidate.
Chiefs at Ravens (-3.5)
Charles: Chiefs
Another tough one to bet, but I'll take the points and figure it comes down to a field goal.
Nfl Picks Week 3 Straight Up
Steven: Ravens
Lamar Jackson has been lights out and the Ravens defense can get some pressure on Patrick Mahomes. That seemed to disrupt the Chiefs offense last week.

Los Angeles Rams vs. Buffalo Bills
Sunday, September 27, 2020 – 1:00pm EST Bills Stadium
The Rams will be cross country once again as they face the Buffalo Bills for Week 3 of the NFL season. They are currently 2-0 after wins against the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles. The offense has looked solid and the defense has looked even better to start the season.
The Rams are averaging 443 yards of total offense per game and allowing 382.5 yards on defense per game. Jared Goff has looked solid throwing 40-58 for 543 yards and three touchdowns along with an interception. Goff’s receivers have done a great job gaining extra yards after the catch as the team leads the league in yards after catch with 7.6 yards after catch.
Currently Malcolm Brown and Cam Akers are questionable to play with injuries. Those two running backs have helped the Rams gain 172 yards on the ground per game this season. Meanwhile, the Bills are also 2-0 and will get their chance at 3-0 at home in this one.
Josh Allen leads the league in passing yards (not rushing yards) which is quite astonishing. The big acquisition of Stefon Diggs has been a huge help to the Bills as he has 16 receptions for 239 yards along with a touchdown. The Bills offense is no joke. Allen has already thrown for 729 yards in two games and has compiled six touchdowns with his arm. The Bills really built their offense around Josh Allen.
Nfl Picks Week 3 2020
Imagine if other teams like the Jets built their team around their franchise quarterback… Josh Allen has it well and he’s proving that he belongs. Allen hasn’t been given much pocket time via the offensive line but he’s able to extend plays with his feet and that’s what makes him special. He’ll need to do a better job of holding onto the ball when rushing, however. The Bills defense on the other hand, has allowed scoring drives on 36.4 percent of
drives and are allowing 4.1 yards per carry this season. But remember, the Bills have played the Jets and Dolphins, which are two of the worst teams in the NFL this season. Now they’re favorites against the Rams who have one of the better defenses in the league. Allen won’t be throwing the ball around in this game. The Rams have a clear path to an upset win cross country.

New York Jets vs. Indianapolis Colts
Sunday, September 27, 2020 – 4:05pm EST Lucas Oil Stadium
I just trashed the Jets in the first portion of the article. They’re one of the worst teams in the NFL, if not the worst. Look at the receivers the Jets have. Look at their defense.
Wait, can you even tell me a player on the Jets defense other than Quinnen Williams? No? That’s what I thought.
Nfl Bets Week 3
The Jets offense has been plagued with injuries and the defense isn’t up for the challenge. Reports continue to come out about Adam Gase as head coach, not taking his job seriously and saying some stupid things to the meda.
Look, I’m an optimistic guy. Gase is the problem. Until he leaves, the Jets will be the laughing stock of the NFL. The Jets lost to a banged up 49ers team last week, 31-13 and lost to the Bills 27-17, when the score really didn’t reflect the game. The Jets were defeated badly.
Nfl Spreads Week 3 2019
The offense is averaging 275 yards and giving up nearly 400 yards on defense. Darnold has thrown for just 394 yards in two games this season. Josh Allen threw for more in one game.
On the flip side, the Colts have a quarterback in Philip Rivers, who is finally getting their receivers involved the way Jacoby Brissett couldn’t. The Colts have plenty of talent on offense and showed off their defense against the Vikings last week, holding them to 11 points using a garbage touchdown.
The Colts have allowed an average of 228.5 yards per game this season and their offense is gaining 408 yards. Look for the Colts to come out quick against the Jets secondary.
