Alright, let's get to the rundown.If you're a regular listener of the Pick Six Podcast or a regular reader of this newsletter, then you know what we do on Fridays: We make picks. For today's show, Katie Mox was joined by Will Brinson along with R.J. White and Alex "PropStarz" Selelnick -- two of our gambling gurus -- and the four of them offered some of their best bets for Week 3. The crew spent an entire hour handing out picks and we're going to go over a few of their best bets here:Will Brinson(3-0 in picks we shared here last week, 4-2 on the season) (+3) to cover against at OVER 47.5 points at UNDER 37 pointsR.J. White(1-2 in picks we shared here last week, 2-4 on the season) (+3.5) to cover against (-8.5) to cover against Dolphins (-6.5) to cover Serge Ibaka Jersey against Broncos Katie Mox(2-1 in picks we shared here last week, 3-3 on the season) (-6) to cover against Titans at Browns UNDER 39.5 points OVER 1.5 TD pa ses vs. Dolphins (+130)As for PropStarz, he handed out a few of his favorite props for the weekend, because when your nickname is PropStarz, that's what the people expect.Atlanta at Detroit: OVER 69.5 rushing yards (-115)Arizona at Dallas: WR OVER 69.5 receiving yards (-117)Pittsburgh at Las Vegas: UNDER 240.5 rushing yards (-137)PropStarz went 2-1 last week and is now 3-3 over the past two weeks.To hear what the rest of the best bets are for Week 3 -- and there are quite a few -- be . You can . Although this game turned into a blowout, it was actually a one-score game at the Quentin Richardson Jersey end of the third quarter. The problem for the Giants is that their offense couldn't move the ball, so although the game was close, it never felt like New York was actually going to win.Here are our grades from the game:GIANTS GRADE: DThere was some good in this game for the Giants: They picked up their FIRST two sacks of the season and they kept things relatively close for the better part of three quarters. However, there was also plenty of bad. For one, the Giants defense couldn't tackle any of San Francisco's receivers. Of 310 pa sing yards, 215 of those . If the Giants could tackle, this game might have been much closer. Offensively, the prime-time struggles continued for . After looking sharp on a first drive where he went 5 of 7 for 38 yards, Jones did almost nothing after that, throwing for just 99 yards and an interception following New York's opening po se sion. The Giants had 10 po se sions in this game and exactly half of them ended with a three-and-out.Giants notesGiants first-half struggles continue. The Giants have been one of worst first half teams in the this year. Through three weeks, not only have they been outscored 66-6 in the first half, but they've also failed to hit the 100-yard mark in any first half this season. That makes them the first team since the 2008 to go through their first three games without hitting the 100-yard mark in the first half in any of them. Also, their -57 point differential in in the NFL over the 32 seasons.Giants rushing attack disappears.Although this was a one-score game for a good chunk of the first three quarters, the Giants gave up on the run pretty early. The Giants only ran the ball 11 times on Thursday, which is the fewest runs they've had in a game since November 1989. Those two instances are the only times the Giants have had 11 or fewer carries over the past 80 years. A big reason the Giants gave up on the run likely had to do with the fact that (ankle) didn't play.49ERS GRADE: A-The 49ers offense has a lot of weapons and Kyle Shanahan did his best to put them all on display in this game. The offensive fireworks were led by , who caught six pa ses for 129 yards and a TD. The most impre sive part of that stat line is that Deebo did almost all of the work with 81 of those receiving yards coming after the catch. had another huge game with 119 total yards and a TD. The offense was clicking thanks to Brock Purdy, who looked extremely accurate after shaking off an ugly opening drive. He almost threw as many incompletions on the opening drive (five) as he did the rest of the game (seven). The 49ers defense was almost as good as the offense. picked up his first sack of the season on a night where the 49ers held the Giants to 150 yards of offense. 49ers notesPurdy awesome. With this win, Brock Purdy now has eight straight victories to start his career, which is the . The only two quarterbacks who have started with more consecutive regular-season wins are (15) and Mike Tomczak (10) Patrick Beverley Jersey . If we include quarterbacks who started in the AFL, then you can also add Kansas City's Mike Livingston (10) to the list.McCaffrey's touchdown streak continues. The 49ers running back has now scored a touchdown in 12 straight games, which is tied for the sixth-longest streak in NFL history (It's also tied with Jerry Rice for ). The NFL record, which is 15 consecutive games with a TD, is held by both John Riggins and O.J. Simpson. Emmitt Smith (14), (13) and George Rogers (13) are also ahead of McCaffrey.Lucky number. The 49ers have scored exactly 30 points in each of their first three games, and as you could probably gue s, that doesn't happen very often in NFL history. The Niners while scoring the same amount of points in each game. San Francisco joins the 2007 Patriots (38) and 1936 Pittsburgh Pirates (10).If you want to check out more of our takeaways from the game, .It's not often you hear about a player suffering a serious injury in practice once the regular season starts, but that's exactly what happened on Thursday with Trevon Diggs. The Cowboys corner, who just , is done for the year after injuring his knee.Here's what : Diggs tears his ACL in practice.The Cowboys corner was injured while participating in a one-on-one drill in practice. After Diggs went down, it was pretty clear that the injury might be serious with multiple reporters pointing out that he was before he even went to get his MRI. Diggs was diagnosed with an ACL tear and will now mi s the rest of the season.Why the injury hurts.The Cowboys have had one of the best defenses in the NFL through two weeks and Diggs was a big reason why. In two games, the All-Pro corner had three pa ses defended, a forced fumble and an interception. Not to mention, Diggs was allowing just a 9.9 QB rating to opposing quarterbacks on pa ses where he was targeted, .Although the Diggs injury certainly hurts the Cowboys defense, Garrett Podell broke down why Dallas should be able to survive despite the lo s. The trade now looks brilliant. Back in March, the Cowboys got Gilmore for a steal, giving up only with the for the All-Pro corner. With Diggs out, Gilmore will take over the CB1 spot, a job five-time Pro Bowler is more than qualified to handle.Cowboys will give more playing time to one of the NFL's most underrated corners. From Garrett, "A Cowboys cornerback who is playing at high level and helping out the defense is , one of the NFL's most underrated defensive backs. The 2022 fifth-round pick has played both inside at nickel as well as outside in defensive coordinator Dan Quinn's defense, and wherever he has lined up, he has been a turnover magnet. Bland intercepted five pa ses as a rookie in 2022, tied for the fifth most in the league a season ago. His pick-six of Daniel Jones in Week 1 gives him six interpeptions for his career, tying him with All-Pro , Broncos All-Pro , Falcons All-Pro , Seahawks' Pro Bowler and Lions safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson for the most since Ky Bowman Jersey Bland entered the NFL in 2022."Diggs injury should also mean more playing time with . With Bland likely moving to CB2, the Cowboys will need someone to take over at nickel and that will likely be Lewis. The 28-year-old is an experienced defensive back who has started a total of 42 games for the Cowboys since being drafted by them in 2017. Lewis is coming off a season where he mi sed 11 games due to injury, but if he can stay healthy, he definitely should be able to help Dallas overcome the lo s of Diggs.If you want Garrett's full breakdown of why the Cowboys .I hope you're not tired of reading our picks yet, because we have even more of them coming at you right now. This batch will be coming from NFL senior writer Pete Prisco, along with Will Brinson, Jordan Dajani, Tyler Sullivan and myself.

Also, the lo s of feels like a gut punch to this team and they might need more than a week to recover from that. The Browns have to play on a short week after an emotional lo s, which seems like the perfect spot for the Titans Paul George Jersey to go into Cleveland and steal a win. For the rest of my Week 3 picks, .For more Week 3 , you can .After giving you some bold predictions for Week 2 last Friday, we thought we'd do the same thing again this week. Garrett Podell came up with five bold predictions for Week 3 and he's got some pretty wild ones that just might hit.
