NFL picks 2026: Full list of Week 3 predictions with confidence levels

As the NFL concludes September, the week kicks off with the Packers hosting the Falcons on Thursday Night Football and concludes with the Bears facing the Eagles on Monday Night Football. No matchups involve undefeated teams, but the Colts vs. Texans game features two winless teams. Houston's struggles this season, starting 0-2 after tough home games against the Bills and Bengals, make their upcoming match in Indianapolis particularly crucial.

Meanwhile, the Raiders have been a surprising 2-0, and the Saints have a competitive 1-1 record. These teams clash in New Orleans, a matchup with stakes higher than many anticipated. The author, a 49ers fan, provides picks with a confidence level, ranging from high to no confidence. High confidence picks include the Lions over the Jets, the Chiefs over the Dolphins, and the 49ers over the Cardinals.

Medium confidence picks are the Panthers over the Browns, the Seahawks over the Commanders, and the Eagles over the Bears. Low confidence picks consist of the Saints over the Raiders, the Texans over the Colts, and the Rams over the Broncos. The Cowboys are predicted to beat the Ravens with a high level of uncertainty.
