The regular season NFL schedule is finally underway. With the NFL Week 3 schedule kicking off Thursday and continuing with more football games on Sunday and Monday, we have a lot to look forward to. With 16 NFL matchups to preview and all 32 teams in action, there’s a full slate to analyze.
This week features several intriguing matchups, including the Pittsburgh Steelers vs New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams vs Philadelphia Eagles. But that’s not all. We’ll also see the Denver Broncos vs Los Angeles Chargers, Dallas Cowboys vs Chicago Bears. One of the best matchups will be saved for Monday when the Detroit Lions vs Baltimore Ravens game gets underway.
Below, we dive into one bold prediction for each game on the Week 3 NFL schedule.
The Miami Dolphins are desperate for a win after a 0-2 start. If not, things could get ugly for Mike McDaniel. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills look like they’re in midseason form after beating the Ravens and Jets. Yet, we know Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle are capable of setting off fireworks, so let’s see what they’re capable of.

Carson Wentz started two games across the past two seasons, and he hasn’t reached 200 passing yards either time. Though, he’s also never been able to throw to Justin Jefferson or operate an offense led by Kevin O’Connell. After seeing the success of Kirk Cousins and Sam Darnold, perhaps the former No. 2 overall pick can find a spark too. Plus, with the Bengals also starting a backup in Jake Browning (who tossed three interceptions), there could be more opportunities for Minnesota’s scoring attack too.

The Cleveland Browns may be one of the worst teams in the league when the season finishes. Right now, they’re just a desperate squad hunting for their first win. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers look like one of the NFC’s strongest Super Bowl contenders. Perhaps the only way the Browns deliver the shocker of the week is if Myles Garrett can be a game wrecker, leading to multiple Packers turnovers.
Through two weeks, the Indianapolis Colts look like a true playoff contender in the AFC. The resurgence of Daniel Jones is a big reason why. The Tennessee Titans are still hunting for an identity and they’ve yet to score more than 19 points. If rookie Cam Ward makes a couple costly mistakes, we could see a blowout here, if so, Anthony Richardson may see some action.
