The Daily Norseman’s NFL predictions for Week 3 of the 2026 season are out, with their panel making clear calls on the slate of games ahead. After a strong showing last week, led by @Dahln_2’s 13-3 record, the team has set their sights on this weekend's matchups.
Last week’s top performer, @Dahln_2, posted an 81% accuracy rate, going 13-3. Close behind were several others at 63%, including Shawn C from Daily Norseman and @whiticar. The team’s collective results can be tracked through their results widget, which allows fans to review picks from previous weeks or the entire season to date.
For the upcoming week, the Daily Norseman staff has a series of unanimous picks. These include the Kansas City Chiefs over the Miami Dolphins, a choice that aligns with the Chiefs’ early-season form. The Carolina Panthers are favoured to beat the Cleveland Browns, while the Cincinnati Bengals are expected to edge the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Seattle Seahawks are predicted to overcome the Washington Commanders, and the Detroit Lions are tipped to take down the New York Jets.
Other unanimous calls include the Buffalo Bills over the Los Angeles Chargers and the San Francisco 49ers over the Arizona Cardinals. The Minnesota Vikings are set to defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Los Angeles Rams to win against the Denver Broncos, and the Philadelphia Eagles to get the better of the Chicago Bears.
Some picks showed slight division among the group. The Houston Texans are favoured to beat the Indianapolis Colts, though GA Skol dissents. The Tennessee Titans are predicted to overcome the New York Giants, with Eric offering a differing view. The Baltimore Ravens are tipped to win over the Dallas Cowboys, but again Eric disagrees. The Green Bay Packers have a majority backing them over the Atlanta Falcons, with Warren dissenting — a choice that has been validated in the past.
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ expected win over the New England Patriots has two dissenters, GA Skol and Shawn. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints are projected to beat the Las Vegas Raiders, although Chris and GA Skol disagree.
No games split the panel evenly with a 3-3 pick split this week, indicating a clearer consensus among the selectors.
All picks come with a reminder that betting lines and odds can shift rapidly and vary between sportsbooks. The Daily Norseman emphasises that these selections are intended for entertainment, urging readers to check the latest odds themselves before placing any wagers.
The release of these picks follows the NFL’s opening weeks, which have set the tone for several teams’ ambitions this season. The staff’s ability to maintain strong prediction accuracy adds weight to their insights, making their choices a point of interest for fans and bettors alike.
As the season progresses, the Daily Norseman’s picks will continue to evolve, reflecting injuries, form changes, and tactical shifts. For now, their Week 3 predictions offer a snapshot of where their confidence lies among the NFL’s early contenders.
