straight up picks for Week 3 NFL action We are officially 1/8th of the way through the 2018 NFL season.

Survivor San Francisco 49ers Hats , Week 3 is upon us, and it kicks off with the Cleveland Browns hosting the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football. Neither team is going to make the playoffs this year, but they have shown some signs of life through the first two weeks. Maybe TNF won’t be a bore!It’s time once again for our pick ‘em and Survivor pool contest options. We have the weekly prediction contest this season, and you can make those picks here. We also have a traditional “Pick ‘Em” contest. If you still want to join, the group name is Niners Nation, the group ID is 45734, and the password is go49ers. You’re pretty far behind, but feel free to join.Survivor pools continue. I took the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1, and went with the New Orleans Saints in Week 2. The Cleveland Browns gave them a scare, but the Browns did Browns things, and the Saints managed the win. This week, the Minnesota Vikings are going to be incredibly popular as a 17 point favorite at home against Buffalo. The pick is a safe one, but I’m leaning toward Chicago over Oakland Arizona. It’s a road game, which is concerning San Francisco 49ers Hoodie , but that Bears defense looks really good. Another option would be Miami over Oakland, but the Dolphins are not the most inspiring of teams.Tonight, Week 3 opens with the Jets and Browns squaring off. The Jets thumped the Lions on the road in their opener and then lost an ugly one at home to Miami. Cleveland tied Pittsburgh in Week 1, and then lost a heartbreaker in Week 2 — and both games would have swung the other way with an adequate kicker. The Browns are a three point favorite, marking the first time they’ve been home favorites since 2015. I don’t have a great feel for this one, but given how the Browns have played thus far against the Steelers and Saints, I’m going to lay the pointsHere are the rest of my straight-up picks. I was 10-5-1 last week, bringing my season record to 20-10-2. I’ll have my picks against the spread later this weekend.Jets @ Browns: BrownsSaints @ Falcons: Falcons49ers @ Chiefs: ChiefsRaiders @ Dolphins: DolphinsBills @ Vikings: VikingsColts @ Eagles: EaglesPackers @ Washington: WashingtonBengals @ Panthers: BengalsTitans @ Jaguars: JaguarsBroncos @ Ravens: RavensGiants @ Texans: TexansChargers @ Rams: RamsBears @ Cardinals: BearsCowboys @ Seahawks: SeahawksPatriots @ Lions: PatriotsSteelers @ Buccaneers: BucsGolden Nuggets: Injury Report Review Good morning folks, and a happy Thursday to you. Tonight’s game should be a solid watch, as two of the most talented teams in the league face off in what may be an NFC Championship Game Preview. The Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings are both teams that boast extremely talented defenses, fruitful passing games, and potent running games. Although the Kirk Cousins and the Vikings had a stunningly poor effort against a bottom-feeding Buffalo Bills team last week, he’ll (they’ll) go a long way to restore trust in their team by beating Goff and the Rams tonight.In 49ers news, the injury report is out for the week and Cheap Customized San Francisco 49ers Jerseys , well, the team has really outdone itself. Jimmy Garoppolo has been officially moved to the IR, and practice squad QB Nick Mullens has been activated as the backup to former-backup-turned-starter-turned-backup-turned-starter-again CJ Beathard. Offensively, the team is dealing with a hyperextended knee with Matt Breida, limiting his participation in practices, as well as a lingering knee issue for guard Mike Person and a toe injury for guard Joshua Garnett, which kept both out of practice on Wednesday. Marquise Goodwin was also limited, as he recovers from a quad injury sustained in week 2.Defensively, the entire secondary is injured. I kid you not, they’re all on the injury report. Ahkello Witherspoon, the healthiest of the group, reported full participation, but is listed with ankle and hip issues. I’m hoping this gets some attention in upcoming press conferences - if he’s playing through pain, I wonder if it’s an indictment of rookie Tarvarius Moore. Either way Nick Mullens Jersey , safeties Adrian Colbert and Jaquiski Tartt both missed practice, with hip and shoulder issues respectively. Richard Sherman is expected to be out for several weeks with a calf injury. I mean, the ENTIRE SECONDARY is listed as banged up.
