I would like to start things off here by noting that I learned a very important lesson in Week 2 and that lesson is that you should NEVER turn off an NFL game early. I don’t care if your house is burning down, find a way to leave the game on, because if you turn it off, there’s a 100% chance that you’ll miss some sort of crazy comeback. 

Case in point: With the Giants trailing the Cardinals 28-7 in the second half, I almost turned off the game so I could clip my finger nails (which was way more exciting than anything the Giants were doing at that point), but thankfully, I didn’t, because the Giants ended up winning 31-28. 

I also almost turned off the Commanders game when they were trailing 21-3 to Denver, but then I remembered that they were playing the Broncos and no one knows how to blow a lead better than the Broncos. I will never be turning off a game early ever again. Well, unless it’s the Bears. It hurts my head to watch them play.

One thing that doesn’t hurt my head is making picks, so let’s get to those. 

Actually, before we get to the picks, here’s a quick reminder that you can check out the weekly picks from every CBSSports.com NFL expert by clicking here. The reason you should click over and check out the other experts this week is to see how badly Jamey Eisenberg embarrassed everyone. Jamey is a senior fantasy writer here at CBSSports.com, but apparently, we need to make him our senior gambling writer, because he’s been crushing it against the spread this year with a record of 19-12-1 through two weeks. 

I might have to start copying his picks. Just kidding. I have the second-best record, I don’t need to copy anyone. If anything, they should copy me. OK, let’s get to the picks for real this time.
