Our expert NFL picks for Week 3 of 2024

Here are our picks in Week 3.

Key injuries helped define Week 2 around the NFL, and that’s left everything wide open when it comes to picks. It remains to be seen how the Dolphins will function on offense with Tua Tagovailoa, whether the Packers can manage to keep winning with Malik Willis at the helm, and what exactly the Steeler continue to look like led by Justin Fields.

The other big change on the week was the upheaval in Carolina, with Bryce Young being benched for Andy Dalton. It’s unlikely that will magically make the Panthers a great team, but the organization sure thinks it gives them the best chance to win — and that’s a wild card against a team like the Raiders.

We also have most positive changes for the likes of the Cardinals, who found their groove in Week 2. The Saints who are absolutely rolling in their new offense. The Vikings, who are stunning everyone — and the Bills, who we knew were going to be great.

Week 3 is wide open, so here’s who our staff picked.
