NFL Week 3 Early Lines | Jaxson Dart Hurt, Eagles–Bears Preview — Coach and Company 9/22/26

It's lookahead Tuesday, and Coach opens with the viral doppelgänger discourse — he's convinced Jalen Hurts is doing a Coach impression, and Supi would like everyone to stop calling him Jason Kelce — before the panel gets to a Monday night that was over almost before it started. Jaxson Dart left on the Giants' opening drive with a knee injury (believed to be a sprained MCL), Jameis Winston went 11-of-27 for 111 yards in relief, and the Rams rolled 28-6 behind Matthew Stafford's 327 yards and four touchdowns and Davante Adams' 8-catch, 195-yard night — with Aaron Donald back in the lineup and Puka Nacua inactive. Supi argues the Giants have to rebuild the game plan around Winston's pocket style this week; Mikey P, a Bears fan living through Caleb Williams' "week-to-week" hamstring, says Giants fans should be worried. Coach's take: expect the "Jameis is already thinking about TV" narrative, and don't buy it. Then it's Inside Info with Raphael Esparza: grab the Notre Dame–Purdue over at 57.5 before it climbs (Purdue has allowed 45 a game over its last two), grab the Cardinals–49ers under at 48 against a Niners defense that has allowed 20 points in two games, and if you like Miami against the Chiefs, wait — Raphael expects the 11.5 to reach 12.5 or even 13 before kickoff.

The Week 3 lookahead asks one question five times: did the books get it right? Supi calls Jaguars -3 over New England essentially spot-on after Jacksonville let a 10-point lead slip in Denver, and Mikey P likes the Jags at home in a "get right" game. For Ravens–Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, Supi's game plan is Derrick Henry 25-30 times plus Rashod Bateman, which makes Coach nervous about the 52 total. Supi loves Tyler Shough and the Saints (-3) against a 2-0 Raiders team riding Kirk Cousins, while Mikey P says it's on Maxx Crosby and the Raiders' pass rush. On Sunday night, Mikey P is fading the Rams (-2.5) and taking Bo Nix and the Broncos at altitude despite a banged-up backfield, and Supi sees a defensive game. And for Monday night, Mikey P does the unthinkable: with Caleb Williams week-to-week and Tyson Bagent likely under center, he's fading his own Bears against the Eagles (-3) — a team that went from 59 points in Week 1 to a field goal in Week 2. Supi agrees and says Chicago's only path is Swift, Monangai and Colston Loveland, keeping it within one score. Coach closes with the Jalen Hurts heel-turn video for Big Cheesy in the chat.
