NFL Big Games for Week 3

This week, there are a couple of big games that warrant attention. Both of the ones we want to talk about involve teams that find themselves surprisingly 0-2 after the first two weeks of the season. This losing record makes their Week 3 matchups very important to their season survival.

First on the PossessionPoints.com Big Game List is the Seahawks vs. Rams. Who would have dreamed that the Rams would be talked about as contenders in a big game this season? Both these teams are 0-2, and while many fans aren’t surprised by the Rams’ situation, they are surprised that the Seahawks have dug themselves into such a big hole. If the Seahawks continue their downward spiral, they might as well start daydreaming about next season with new Coach Jim Mora because this season would have most likely slipped beyond their control. PossessionPoints.com doesn’t see the Seahawks losing to the Rams and neither does Las Vegas who has them as a 9.5 point favorite.

The Chargers and Jets are our next big game. Our hearts go out to the Chargers as they must feel snake bit after the first two games. They were two seconds and one referee’s whistle from being 2-0. Whatever the circumstances, the Chargers are in need of a win badly. However, they are facing a team that the Broadcasters have drooled over since Brett Favre joined their ranks and pulled out the big (sarcasm) win over the Dolphins in Week 1. Once again, neither PossessionPoints nor Las Vegas is too worried about the Chargers in this game. We think the combination of hunger and need will be enough for San Diego to defeat any miracles the Jets might have up their sleeves. However, given the way this season has so far gone for the Chargers, one never knows.
