Each week on the Green Light podcast, former NFL player Chris Long and the crew give their NFL predictions for the weekend slate.

Below are the teams/games Long likes for Week 3.

Rams +3.5 vs. Eagles

“You throw the hook on there, that’s a lot of points,” he said. “Not a game [the Eagles can’t win], but a game I don’t feel great about the cover.”

Texans +1.5 vs. Jaguars

“I think this week they bounce back,” Long said of the Texans, who have started the year 0-2.

Cowboys/Bears Over 50.5

Long pointed to the secondaries on both sides being poor, and Caleb Williams being “fine.”

Packers 1H -4.5 vs. Browns

“Best first half team in football,” he said.

Cardinals +2.5 vs. 49ers

“I don’t know why there are so many people on San Francisco,” he said. “… There are many questions for the San Francisco 49ers.”
