12. A.J. Brown finds his groove with 3 TDs in NFL Week 3

If you need to know how pedestrian (or maybe even bad) A.J. Brown has been to start the season, his family might’ve said it best after Week 2 when he caught only three balls on nine targets:

Brown has just seven catches on 17 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown through the first two games of the year. But in a divisional matchup against the Colts, he’s going to turn it around.

Tennessee has to be hyped up after their comeback overtime win last week against the Seahawks. They’re going to want to make a statement and the Indianapolis secondary can be picked apart. It’ll happen early as I expect a Titans blowout but Brown will explode with a three-touchdown performance to get his 2021 season back on track.

11. Jameis Winston gets picked off three times by Patriots

You could make the argument that the regression from Week 1 to Week 2 for Jameis Winston and the New Orleans Saints was partially due to the fact that they were missing a number of coaches against Carolina last week. But it also is evidence that the quarterback is still largely who he’s always been, as at least one of his two interceptions last week would indicate as he just chucked it deep into a crowd.

Even though Sean Payton will do his best to try and coach that out of Winston and scheme up good looks, the Patriots defense is going to know their matchup and bait the quarterback into throws. Winston won’t be able to help himself with some questionable throws, meaning that the Saints signal-caller will come up with a dud as he throws three interceptions on the day.
