NFL Week 3 picks: Who the ‘experts’ are taking in Eagles vs. Buccaneers
The Eagles are rested and getting healthier after almost 11 days off since a Thursday night win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2.
Philadelphia will board a plane on Sunday, heading to Tampa for a matchup against the undefeated Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium on ABC and ESPN+.
With the week’s final practice ending, here are the NFL expert picks for Week 3.
ESPN--Eagles
All nine writers and experts from ESPN are picking Philadelphia over Tampa.
NFL.com --Eagles
All five experts at NFL.com are picking the Eagles.
Incredibly, Baker Mayfield could get closer than Bill Belichick and Justin Jefferson did to actually knocking off the reigning NFC champs. The QB is rolling with the best set of pass catchers he’s ever had, and if Tampa’s ninth-ranked D coaxes Philly’s occasionally wobbly offense into one of those extended slow-downs it’s been prone to this season, the Bucs could take advantage. That said, I can’t really talk myself into trusting Baker over Jalen Hurts, not against the toughest defense Mayfield’s seen this year.
