PFT's Week 3 2026 NFL picks
Here's my look at every game for the third week of the season.
Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season is underway. Predicting game outcomes is tricky, especially early in the season. The Packers host the Falcons at home, with the Falcons' quarterback situation uncertain after multiple injuries. The Chargers face the Bills, but the Bills' new stadium might give them an edge. The Panthers travel to the Browns, a challenging matchup for Deshaun Watson.
The Jets host the Lions, with Aaron Glenn returning as defensive coordinator. The Texans are favored over the Colts, aiming to overcome their 0-3 record. The Patriots seek improved performances from Drake Maye and Trevor Lawrence. The Chiefs are expected to beat the Dolphins, while the Titans face the Giants with John Harbaugh's coaching influence.
The Bengals are expected to beat the Steelers, and the Seahawks aim for a win over the Commanders. The Cardinals are favored over the 49ers, and the Vikings could be competitive against the Buccaneers. The Ravens host the Cowboys in Brazil, with a potentially sloped field impacting the game. The Raiders face the Saints, possibly previewing a future Super Bowl matchup. The Broncos attempt to cover Davante Adams, and the Eagles catch a break if they face Case Keenum.
