On this episode of The Sideline...
Episode overview
Somehow, the guys agree on almost everything this week. Zack, Mark and Scott break down the biggest 2026 NFL Week 3 and college football matchups, including Saints-Raiders, Ravens-Cowboys, Panthers-Browns, Texas-Tennessee, Texas A&M-LSU and Ole Miss-Florida. They also debate fantasy football sleepers and fades such as George Pickens, Drew Lock, the Jets defense and Denver's injured backfield before making their locks of the week on the Texans, Packers and Titans.
The SEC road games split the room
Texas-Tennessee brings the first real disagreement as two hosts trust the home-field advantage and one backs Arch Manning and Texas to handle the pressure. The guys are far more united on LSU over Texas A&M, while Ole Miss going into Florida turns into another debate about emotion, momentum and how difficult it is to win on the road in the SEC.
Dallas and Carolina get the unanimous vote
The Cowboys are the pick over Baltimore in São Paulo because Dak Prescott and his receivers look ready for a high-scoring game, especially if the Ravens are without Zay Flowers. The Panthers also get all three votes against Cleveland as Bryce Young continues to look more comfortable and one decent Deshaun Watson game is not enough to make the guys trust the Browns.
George Pickens leads the fantasy sleeper debate
George Pickens is the upside play in a matchup that could force Dallas to keep throwing, while Denver's injured running back room is the clear stay-away against the Rams. Drew Lock starts an actual argument, then the episode closes with weekly locks on Houston, Green Bay and Tennessee.
