8. Kyler Murray scored 5 TDs in 5 different ways

Kyler Murray has been unreal through the first two weeks of the season. He’s already thrown for 689 yards with seven touchdowns while adding 51 rushing yards and two more scores. Murray has been one of the leading early NFL MVP candidates and rightfully so. Now he gets to face the Jaguars, a team that has given no sign that they can slow the dynamic quarterback down.

Jacksonville has allowed 30 points, 309.5 passing yards and 128 rushing yards per game. They haven’t been able to stop anything — and that was against the Texans and Broncos. Murray is going to tear them apart and do it any way he pleases. Specifically, he’ll throw four touchdowns to four different receivers in addition to also rushing for a touchdown as well.

7. Steelers lose second straight game as home favorite

Even though the Pittsburgh Steelers enter NFL Week 3 with a 1-1 record, there’s not much to be that confident in. Ben Roethlisberger and the offense, most notably the offensive line, have looked quite bad to this point and disconnected from the game plan. Moreover, the defense shined in Week 1 but now injuries are starting to pile up, specifically with T.J. Watt either banged up or held out against the Bengals on Sunday.

Cincinnati has plenty of problems. Their line protecting Joe Burrow hasn’t been fixed and the defense is far from complete. That’s why the Steelers are favored at home, per WynnBet. But they were favored against the Raiders at home last week as well and lost by nine. The Bengals will replicate that trend with a big performance from Burrow in a shocking road win for Cincy.
