The chalk: Los Angeles Chargers
Who they play: Home vs. Jacksonville Jaguars, 4 p.m.
Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars come into this game off another home victory over the Indianapolis Colts. After such a key victory in the division, the Jaguars must now travel across the country and play the Los Angeles Chargers and a banged-up Justin Herbert. Banged up or not, I still trust Herbert to win in this situation.
Since 2010, Jacksonville is 1-10 when playing in the pacific time zone. This includes a 0-2 record in 2021 when they lost to both the Los Angeles Rams and the Seattle Seahawks on the road. Jacksonville does not travel well. Their fans will not take over Sofi Stadium the way many road teams fans do.
If Herbert is healthy, this is my favorite play of Week 3.

Off the board: Cincinnati Bengals
Who they play: At New York Jets, 1 p.m.
In a game the Bengals were supposed to win against the Dallas Cowboys, the Cincinnati Bengals came out and laid an egg on Sunday losing 20-17. While the defense has been good, the offense has been the issue.
Joe Burrow threw 4 INTs in the Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers and never quite got into rhythm against the Micah Parsons-led Dallas defense. A Jets defense, coming off giving up 30 poits to the Cleveland Browns and Jacoby Brissett, could be the cure for that which ails the Bengals.
WR Tee Higgins was limited in Week 2 after being concussed in Week 1. He will be a full go this week. Along with WR Ja’Marr Chase and Joe Mixon in the backfield, the Cincinnati offense should finally wake up against the Jets.
If the Bengals fall to 0-3, their chances of making the playoffs fall significantly. The Bengals also want to avenge a 34-7 loss to the Jets last season. For my ease, and the ease of an easy win, I hope this game gets out of hand early and we cruise to a victory.
