NFL Week 3 picks odds best bets Eagles fly past Carson Wentz Chiefs make slight work of Colts

Week 2 of the 2022 NFL season was absolutely absurd, and when weeks are absolutely absurd, that means gamblers likely didn't find consistent succe s. For example, maybe taking the or first-half moneyline was a better bet than full-time moneyline. The 1 p.m. comebacks were incredible, as the made 37-year-old look elite, and threw four touchdown pa ses Tarik Cohen Jersey in the fourth quarter.One thing I learned was to stay away from the , because they are responsible for two of my mi ses among my top five picks. I'm feeling more confident about this week compared to Week 2, so let's take a look at what I'm thinking.As always, credit to the CBS Sports research team for making me sound smart.Top five picks ATS record: 3-7Overall ATS record: 13-19Straight up record: 14-17-1Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (Fox) gets a chance to enact some revenge against the team that drafted him No. 2 overall in 2016, as the Eagles pay a visit to the Commanders. Unfortunately for Washington, things are going very well for its division rival. Philly is 2-0 and coming off of an impre sive 24-7 victory over the . scored three total touchdowns, while locked down -- intercepting twice when the star wideout was targeted. It's worth mentioning that Wentz is the third notable former Eagles quarterback to join Washington along with Sonny Jurgensen and Donovan McNabb, and both Jurgensen and McNabb won their first rematches against the Eagles. However, Jurgensen and McNabb were better players than Wentz. That's not to say Wentz hasn't been solid with Washington up to this point, but the Eagles are overall a better team than the Commanders. Philly's ground game will propel the Eagles to victory, as Washington allows an average of 7.5 yards per rush this season, which is worst in the NFLWhen I looked at this line a few days ago, it was PHI -4.5. I'm still fine taking it under 7.The pick:Eagles -6.5Projected score:Eagles 35-28 Pick Six Newsletter Crafted By The Best NFL Experts Get the day's big stories + fun stuff you love like mock drafts, picks Taylor Gabriel Jersey and power rankings.

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (CBS) I never want to get ahead of myself and I will never guarantee you anything but taxes and death, but this line confuses me. I get that the Chiefs came out incredibly slow against the last week, but are they not still a top five team in basically everyone's power rankings? The Colts on the other hand are rattled -- and I would be too. You open up the year tying with the , and then get blown out by the . Yikes. Sharps are clearly Eddie Goldman Jersey on the Colts in this spot, however, as the line fell from K.C. -6.5 to K.C. -5.5 on Wednesday. That's fine, I'll take the extra point. has thrown seven touchdowns and zero interceptions this season. Remember, it's still September, and the Chiefs QB is 13-2 in the month with 48 pa sing touchdowns compared to just three interceptions thrown. The Chiefs have also won nine straight regular-season games with extended rest, which is the longest active streak in the NFL.The pick:Chiefs -5.5Projected score:Chiefs 30-20Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (Fox) Some are scared to lay the points with the Ravens since, one, this is the Patriots home opener, two, the Patriots defense has been stout, and three, the Ravens stumbled in Week 2 -- blowing a 21-point fourth-quarter lead at home. At the same time, we can't just overlook the fact that New England's offense is averaging just 12 points through two games, while Baltimore is averaging 31 points per game. I'm banking on and Co. using last week's lo s as fuel moving forward. All the trends say that the Patriots should win this game straight up, but I'm bucking all of them. This Patriots team is not like the Patriots teams of old, and they will have to match one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL Sunday.The pick:Ravens -3Projected score:Ravens 26-20Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (Fox) As CBS Sports.com's resident Titans writer, I can tell you that Tenne see is in serious trouble. hasn't been great, hasn't looked like himself, offensive coordinator/play-caller Todd Downing is quickly becoming the most disliked man in the Music City, left tackle may be lost for the year, the run defense has taken a major step backwards from last season, the cornerback play is worse than people realize and the pa s-rushers are banged-up. Should I just stop there?The Raiders are 0-2 as well, but I think it's pretty easy to gue s what their game plan will be come Sunday. On offense, attack the young cornerbacks with and . On defense, use and to wreak havoc on a backup left tackle and rookie right tackle. Just in case you forgot, Jones racked up five sacks and two forced fumbles the last time he played the Titans. The pick:Raiders -2Projected score:Raiders 27-20Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC) The Broncos were not my pick to win the stacked AFC West this season, but I definitely feel as though I overestimated them. First-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett made the wrong call with the game on the line in Week 1, and he again Leonard Floyd Jersey struggled on fourth-down calls/field goals in Week 2. There's no reason the Broncos should have been that close with the Texans, and while they ultimately won, fans did not leave Empower Field at Mile High feeling victorious. Denver is 0 of 6 in the red zone this year, leading the league in penalties, winle s against the spread and now has to face off against the toughest team it has played thus far.As for the 49ers, can you believe their luck? You almost can't make up this storyline. They tried to move on from this offseason, failed to do so and now are thanking their lucky stars they have him after injury. No one is celebrating Lance breaking his ankle, but Jimmy G is going to take advantage of this opportunity. I still don't think Garoppolo is one of the elite signal-callers in the NFL, but he's consistent enough. The 49ers are 31-14 with Garoppolo, and 9-29 with all other starting quarterbacks since 2017. This line was a pick'em just a few days ago, but is now moving in the 49ers' direction -- and for good reason in my Adam Shaheen Jersey opinion.The pick:49ers -1.5Projected score:49ers 24-21Browns 23-20 over (+4) (-6) 28-21 over Vikings 33-30 over Lions (+6)Texans (+2.5) 20-17 over (-2.5) 24-20 over 30-27 over (+5.5)Chargers (-7) 28-20 over Jaguars (PICK) 21-20 over (+1) 29-27 over 27-24 over (+3.5) (+1) 23-20 over
