NFL Week 3 Picks by Cooper NFL Analyst and Cup of Joe in the D

      Week 3 of the NFL season begins Thursday night with the LA Rams (1-1) visiting the winless San Francisco (0-2). Both teams lost last week and both teams desperately need a win tonight,  The Ravens hit the road to play the Jaguars as the Ravens are seeking to go to 3-0.  The Saints fresh off a 2nd week of getting thrashed, travel to Carolina to play the 2-0 Panthers. The NY Giants who are 0-2 with a good defense but terrible offense hope to have Odell back at full strength and to beat Divisional foe Philly.  Cleveland travels to Indy in a battle of 2 teams that are 0-2 and not going anywhere fast.  Another winless team the Texans take on the Patriots who scored at will the week before against New Orleans.  Denver who beat up on the Cowboys last week will be in Buffalo to take on the Bills. The Buccaneers face the Vikings in a game that Minnesota hopes QB Braford will return,  The undefeated Steelers go into the Windy City to play the Bears who are (0-2).  Miami visits the NY Jets in a must win for both teams.
     In the Motor City, the Atlanta Falcons (2-0) will face the Detroit Lions (2-0) in a game of top QB's in the league.  Seattle faces Tennessee as both teams look to climb over the .500 mark this week.  The Bengals who are (0-2) and have no offense face the dangerous Packers in Green Bay.  Kansas City plays at the LA Chargers in a must win game for the Chargers. The Sunday night game has the Raiders going into DC and facing the Redskins in a game both teams hope to put it together on both sides of the ball.
     On Monday night, the Cowboys (0-1) fresh off a whipping in Denver travel to Phoenix to play the Cardinals. Arizona won last weekend in OT and Dallas didn't show up against the Broncos. Also in the Cowboys game, Ezekiel Elliott seemed to quit on his team mates and lack of motivation during the game.
