NFL WEEK THREE 2025

Good Sunday to you! As Miami recovers from the partying that went on late into the night celebrating the Canes (the only Miami football team with a winning record this year, and you know how Miami's frontrunning fans love a winner)  win over the Gators (nicely increasing our shrinking bankroll, although at the last moment we unnecessarily teased the 7.5 line down to 6, sacrificing some odds to do so), we have our thoughts on an intriguing week three in the NFL.

Our Upset Special: The Sunday Night game has the NY Giants at home vs the struggling KC Chiefs. The Gints are getting six and that maybe enough to keep it close. 

Beware Cincinnati in September we keep saying. And yet something about a battle of backup QBs in the Bengals vs Vikings game is whispering to us to take the Bengals and +3 and the over 41.  Jake Browning at QB for the Bengals vs Carson Wentz for the Vikings. 

We will take the +2 Arizona is getting in San Fran (keeping with our thesis that the Cardinals will be the surprise team of the first half of the season), and also the 1 the Bears are getting at home vs the up and down Cowboys. 

Best game of the week is the Monday Nighter as Detroit goes to Baltimore. We like to take good teams feeling the heat of not playing great and in this matchup that is the Lions +4.5. The Ravens always seem to mess up against good teams allowing the game to remain close. 

The Eagles keep winning at home vs. the Rams this week, and the over 45 looks as juicy as a Philly Cheesesteak.  If you are a foodie on IG like we are, then you know there are dozens of competitors in Philly to Pats or Genos, but none of them may be as good as the Bradley Cooper/ Danny Giampietro (he of Angelo's Pizzeria of Philly) collab Danny & Coops. Want to meet Rumpole? You can often find him on East Tenth street and Avenue A in the East Village grabbing a sandwich there.   

Ready to hop on the J...E...T.....S bandwagon? Maybe not yet as they are on the road in Tampa and Baker "The Touchdown Maker" Mayfield is playing like an MVP.  But we can be lured into teasing that +6.5 line up to 7.5 and might take a flyer for a couple of sawbucks. The Jets are better than their record and at some point they are going to go on a 4-0 or 5-0 run. 

Before we post the survivor pool, we have an off-topic question. Any interest in our retrospective of United Press/CBS News Reporter Richard C Hottelet? One of Murrow's Boys, he reported on WWII from England, flew on a bomber in the opening minutes of D Day, and spent 4 months in a Gestapo Prison in 1941 on the charge of espionage. 

The Survivor Pool.  The Seahawks (over the Saints) and the Bucs (over the Jets) seem like the popular picks. Everyone has made a pick except Weisman. If you know him, text him or he's out.
