Week 3 Monday Night Football: Patriots guide, game tips, open thread

Week 3 of the NFL season concludes with a doubleheader on Monday night. First up, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills welcome the Jacksonville Jaguars to town, then a battle between former LSU quarterbacks Jayden Daniels and Joe Burrow closes out the football weekend.

Check out Pats Pulpit’s picks for tonight below and head to the comments section to continue the conversation about Friday night’s action.

Patriots Cheering Guide

Jacksonville Jaguars (0-2) at Buffalo Bills (2-0): Go Jaguars! No surprise, because the Patriots play against the AFC East in this game. | 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN

Washington Commanders (1-1) at Cincinnati Bengals (0-2): Go Commanders! Although the Patriots defeated the Bengals, they are now going for the other conference. | 8:15 p.m. ET, ABC

Patriots Picks

Olivier Thomas: The Jaguars have been held to under 20 points in back-to-back losses. The Bills have exceeded 30 points in back-to-back wins. I trust Josh Allen against Josh Hines-Allen’s pass rush. | Accounts 28, Jaguars 16

Slow starts have become a thing for the Bengals. But with or without Tee Higgins, this is a must-have-it game at home against rookie starter Jayden Daniels, who has 26 rushing yards and is coming off his first NFL win. | Bengals 27, Commanders 14

Brian Hines: Jacksonville’s offense has been sluggish to start the season and will struggle to keep up with Josh Allen and Co. Buffalo remains perfect to start the season. | Accounts 27, Jaguars 14

With Tee Higgins back in the lineup for the first time this season, Cincinnati’s offense should get going again in Week 3. That should be enough for Joe Burrow to secure their first win of the season as he outscores No. 2 overall pick Jayden Daniels. | Bengals 24, Commanders 14
