Fearless Rick & Coin Flip NFL Week 3 Late Games
All times Eastern
Denver Broncos at Los Angeles Chargers (-2.5, 46) 4:05 pm - While it’s too early to write off the Chiefs, these two teams are very likely to be in the thick of the AFC West race throughout the season, so this shapes up as a key game.
The Broncos have arguably not looked well on offense. Bo Nix may be suffering from a sophomore setback, though the defense is still top shelf. The Chargers have done nothing wrong, going 2-0 with wins over the Chiefs and Raiders the first two weeks. If they’re -3 or less by game time, take them for the win.
Coin Flip: Denver
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Chargers 24 Broncos 17
Seattle’s tough home loss to the 49ers (17-13) was followed up with a stunning 31-17 win at Pittsburgh last week. Sam Darnold is finding out what works on the Seahawk offense and should be on target at home. The Saints have just kind of hung around in their two losses. This one could be worse.
Coin Flip: New Orleans
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Seahawks 27 Saints 14
The Bears blow a lead in their Week 1, 27-24, loss to Minnesota and then got buried 52-21 by the Lions. Caleb Williams, who’s now starting his 20th game as an NFL QB still hasn’t figured it out. Someday he might and this could be the right place to do so.
Coin Flip: Dallas
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Bears 27 Cowboys 26
Arizona is sneaky good this season. Kyler Murray has figured out that he doesn’t have to do everything himself and can use all of his offensive tools. He’s hitting on 70% of his passes this season with 3 TDs and 1 pick. The AZ defense also looks solid and healthy.
This one could go down to the wire.
Coin Flip: Arizona
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Cardinals 30 49ers 27
Most people would think that Kansas City will get its act together and swamp the 0-2 Giants, but this one could be a shocker. The Chiefs haven’t looked 100% since losing the Super Bowl to the Eagles and the offense lacks a deep threat. All great teams go through rough patches and this just seems like one for Kansas City. Being on the road after a tough loss doesn’t help.
Coin Flip: New York Giants
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Giants 24 Chiefs 21
Detroit Lions at Baltimore Ravens (-4.5, 52) 8:15 pm - It’s tempting to take the Lions getting points in this contest. Baltimore hasn’t really shown much in the way of defense outside their effort against a punchless Cleveland team last week in a 41-17 win.
By whipping up on the Bears, 52-21, the Lions proved how good the Packers are (Green Bay won 27-13 in Week 1 vs. Detroit) and maybe how porous the Chicago defense is. They also showed they can still score bunches of points, which makes this a shootout kind of affair, one in which the points may come in handy.
Coin Flip: Baltimore
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Ravens 34 Lions 31
