Eagles Vs. Saints Pick: One More Over
While New Orleans has scored on every possession this season, the Eagles struggled to put up points in Week 2 against Atlanta, which cost them the win.
The Saints typically play well defensively but allowed 20 points to Dallas, including 13 in the second quarter last week. There’s a sense that Jalen Hurts and the Eagles have a chance to put up some points here.
Meanwhile, Derek Carr and Rashid Shaheed have developed quite a connection. Shaheed caught a long 70-yard touchdown pass last week.
Alvin Kamara looks like his old self and has four touchdowns on the season and 290 combined yards from scrimmage.
With the fast turf, these two teams should be able to score 50 points (or more) on Sunday.

Our NFL Predictions For Week 3
Dolphins Vs. Seahawks Prediction: Miami May Be More Born To Run
This game focuses on how Seattle adjusts to what New England did to them through the air in Week 2.
Tyreek Hill looked great in Week 1 against Jacksonville, with 130 receiving yards. However, the former Pro Bowler had only six targets in Week 2, catching just three passes for a mere 24 yards.
With Tua Tagovailoa on injured reserve, the drop-off is real. Hill averaged nearly 23 fantasy points with Tagovailoa in the lineup but only 15.6 without him.
Skylar Thompson represents a significant downgrade, with only 80 passing yards on 14 attempts in relief.
The Alt Under of 55.5 yards is around -135, with most betting apps, so, with a few ways to gameplan this Miami-Seattle tilt, we take the modestly risky choice of Hill gaining fewer than 64 yards on Sunday.
The Panel Pick 2: Tyreek Hill Under 64.5 Receiving Yards | -115 With FanDuel
Panthers Vs. Raiders Preview: No Bryce, No Dice?
The Carolina Panthers have benched Bryce Young in favor of Andy Dalton. However, this doesn't change how porous the Panthers' defense has been at the start of the season.
Carolina ranks dead last in points scored (13) and points allowed (73) and Las Vegas knows it cannot afford to look ahead, though.
Last week, Baltimore made that mistake while up 23-13, and the Raiders came back, securing a shocking road win.
The Panthers have yet to score any points in the first quarter this season, and it's reasonable to think that no offensive touchdowns are likely this Sunday either.
The Panel's pick is for the Raiders to be leading after the first 15 minutes, even a field goal may be enough against the league's worst defense.
