2023 NFL Week 3 Preview and Predictions: Part 1

(1-1) New York Giants @ San Francisco 49ers (2-0)


The San Francisco 49ers managed to beat NFC West Rivals the Los Angeles Rams 23-16 in Week 2 to keep up their positive start to the new season. The 49ers currently lead the NFC West as the only team to have won both of their games. As for New York, The Giants just about came from behind to beat the Arizona Cardinals last week and they currently sit bottom of the NFC East as the only team with a loss in the Division. In the end, I’m picking The 49ers to win this game. San Francisco have looked really good at the start of this season whilst The Giants have looked pretty poor.



(1-1) Tennessee Titans @ Cleveland Browns (1-1)


The Cleveland Browns suffered a 26-22 defeat against Division Rivals the Pittsburgh Steelers on last week’s Monday Night Football so they’ll be looking to bounce back here. The Browns sit third in the AFC North with a 1-1 record. As for Tennessee, they pulled out a good victory against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2 and they are currently third in the AFC South with a record of 1-1. In the end, I’m going to say that Cleveland will just about edge this game. It’s close, but The Browns should beat The Titans if they play at their best.



(2-0) Atlanta Falcons @ Detroit Lions (1-1)


The Detroit Lions suffered an overtime loss at home to the Seattle Seahawks last week so they’ll be looking to right a wrong in this one. The Lions are currently second in the NFC North with a record of 1-1. As for Atlanta, The Falcons defeated the Green Bay Packers 25-24 last week in an incredibly close game and they currently lead the NFC South with a 2-0 perfect start. In the end, I think Atlanta will win this game. My main reason for that is I think Atlanta have a good team and they’ve started their season really well whilst I can’t really say the same about Detroit despite the fact that they won in Kansas City in Week 1.



(2-0) New Orleans Saints @ Green Bay Packers (1-1)


The Green Bay Packers suffered a tight 24-25 loss at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons last week, but they still lead the NFC North with a record of 1-1. As for New Orleans, The Saints won in Carolina on Monday Night Football, and they currently sit second in the NFC South with a 2-0 start. In the end, I’m picking New Orleans to win this game. This could be another close game, but I rate The Saints enough to think they’ll be able to pull out the victory at Lambeau Field.



(0-2) Denver Broncos @ Miami Dolphins (2-0)


The Miami Dolphins pulled out a good victory at the New England Patriots last Sunday Night, and they currently lead the AFC East as the only team without a perfect start. As for Denver, it’s been a tough start to them this season after suffering a 33-35 loss in Washington in Week 2. The Broncos are currently third in the AFC West and will be looking to get their first win on the board. In the end, I’d be very surprised if Miami didn’t come away with the win in this one. The Dolphins are a really good team whilst the Denver Broncos just seem like they’re missing something.



(0-2) Los Angeles Chargers @ Minnesota Vikings (0-2)


The Minnesota Vikings lost on last week’s Thursday Night Football 28-34 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Vikings are currently third in the NFC North (with a 0-2 record) in need of a victory. As for LA, The Chargers suffered a disappointing 24-27 loss in Tennessee in Week 2, and they currently find themselves bottom of the AFC West knowing they can’t really afford to go 0-3. In the end, I’m picking The Chargers to beat The Vikings. Both teams need to get their first win on the board, but I feel like The Chargers need it more which is why I’ve chosen them to get the victory.



(0-2) New England Patriots @ New York Jets (1-1)


The New York Jets were torn apart by the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2 and they currently find themselves second in the AFC East with a record of 1-1. As for New England, they lost at home to Division Rivals Miami last time out and they are currently bottom of the AFC East as the only team yet to pick up a victory. In the end, I’m actually going to say that New England will win this game. Given how shocking Zak Wilson was last week at Quarterback for The Jets, The Patriots should be good enough to get their first victory of the season.



(1-1) Buffalo Bills @ Washington Commanders (2-0)


The Washington Commanders pulled out a good victory in Denver in Week 2 and they are currently third in the NFC East despite being off to a perfect start. As for Buffalo, they got their first win of the season last week by thrashing the Las Vegas Raiders 38-10. The Bills are currently third in the AFC East with a 1-1 record. In the end, I’m picking Buffalo to win this game. Whilst Washington have started the season well, they haven’t played a top team and I regard Buffalo in that category.
