With Russell Wilson listed as inactive because of a calf injury the first two weeks, Justin Fields has led the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 2-0 start despite the team only scoring one offensive touchdown so far. Now, the Steelers will match up with the 2-0 Chargers in one of the most surprisingly important matchups on the Week 3 NFL schedule. These are the top two scoring defenses in the NFL over the first two weeks of the season, leading to plenty of tough decisions for making NFL office pool picks.
That contest will be one of the toughest for anybody making NFL confidence pool picks or NFL football pool picks. Which side should you back in Steelers vs. Chargers and which teams should you target as you make your Week 3 NFL picks? Before you make your NFL predictions, you need to see the Week 3 NFL football pool picks from SportsLine’s proven computer model.
The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season on an incredible 187-130 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 41-22 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of last season.
The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick’em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.
In Week 3, SportsLine’s advanced computer model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is predicting the Seattle Seahawks (-3.5) will win comfortably at home against the Miami Dolphins.
Running back Kenneth Walker III led the charge for Seattle in a Week 1 win over Denver, carrying the ball 20 times for 103 yards and a touchdown. However, without Walker available in Week 2 against the Patriots, offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb turned Geno Smith loose and the 2022 NFL Comeback Player of the Year was sensational.
Smith went 33-of-44 for 327 yards and a touchdown and played turnover-free football in a 23-20 win in overtime. DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba both had 100-yard games and Walker could also be available this week. Meanwhile, Miami won’t have Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) in the lineup and the model is predicting that the Seahawks win in well over 70% of simulations. See all of SportsLine’s Week 3 NFL predictions here.
The model also made the call on every other Week 3 NFL game and has strong picks for potentially close NFL matchups like Cowboys vs. Ravens, Steelers vs. Chargers and Saints vs. Eagles. It’s also calling for an upset you won’t want to miss. You can only see all of the model’s NFL pool picks here.
So who should you pick in every Week 3 NFL game, and which upset should you be all-in on? Visit SportsLine now to get optimal NFL office pool picks, all from a proven computer model that has returned well over $7,000 since its inception, and find out.
