    Lamar chasing another MVP title, Lawrence showing wisdom of patience and more Week 3 thoughts (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Who’s ready to put their thinking caps on? Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season will go down in the history books, as 12 -- count ‘em, 12! -- Sunday games finished within one score, the new single-day record for the league. Toss in two fun primetime games on Thursday and Monday and that was about as good a week as NFL football gets. Every Tuesday of the NFL season, I’ll turn the page from the previous week to the upcoming one with seven things I think. These aren’t full-scale predictions; those come la

    NFL Week 3 betting guide: Analysis and top plays for Sunday's games (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Value is value, no matter where -- or how -- you find it. And that's what we'll aim to do each week in this space: finding betting value. Ben Solak, Seth Walder and Matt Bowen bring different perspectives into how they approach sports betting. Solak leans on his expertise in player evaluation and the X's and O's to find edges, while Walder relies on statistical models to pick out plus-expected value bets, focusing mainly on defense. Bowen, a former NFL safety, predicts positive matchups and game

    Bucs already regretting Mayfield deal? Chargers set for top-10 pick? Seven thoughts after Week 2 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Week 2 is in the books! It came with big upsets (Raiders over Chargers! Browns over Bucs!) and devastating injuries (such as Commanders QB Jayden Daniels and Giants QB Jaxson Dart). Week 3 feels as murky a future week as ever. Every Tuesday of the NFL season, I’ll turn the page from the previous week to the upcoming one with seven things I think. These aren’t full-scale predictions; those come later in the week. They aren’t concrete takeaways from the past week of NFL action, either; those are f

    Texans’ offence, Bengals’ defence catching up? Seven thoughts entering Week 2 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Who's ready to put their thinking caps on? Big-time offensive scoring was the story in Week 1 of the NFL season, but Week 2 is now right around the corner. What will it bring? Every Tuesday of the NFL season, I'll turn the page from last week to this week with seven things I think. These aren't full-scale predictions -- those come later in the week. They aren't concrete takeaways off the past week of NFL action, either -- those are fired off on Sunday or Monday. Instead, these are the uncertain

    Six NFL records that could be broken during the 2026 season (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The 2026 NFL season is already here. Unfortunately, through two games, no NFL record has been broken. Boring! Last time we saw regular-season football, Myles Garrett was setting a single-season sack record (23) and Trey McBride was catching more passes (126) than any tight end in NFL history. With a 17-game season and rules skewed to favor offenses, it feels like more and more records are within reach every year. I wanted to find more NFL records that could be broken in 2026, so I went through a
