- SportsLine expert Eric Cohen is releasing exact score predictions for all 16 Week 3 NFL games, with exact-score payouts starting at +6500 and reaching above +19000
- Cohen finished 2025-26 with a 188-96-1 (66%) straight-up record on NFL picks and is 21-11 (66%) so far in 2026
- Seahawks vs. Commanders shows a striking historical trend: in their last nine regular-season meetings, one team scored exactly 17 points in six of those games, with Sam Darnold (glute) expected to return for Seattle
- Week 3's three divisional matchups are Commanders vs. Seahawks (-7, 40.5), Steelers vs. Bengals (-3.5, 42.5), and Texans vs. Colts (+2.5, 42.5)
- Cohen is backing the Panthers (-2.5, 42.5) to beat the Browns on the road, citing Carolina's No. 2 scoring offense at 35.5 points against a Cleveland team ranked bottom-five in total offense, third-down offense, and red-zone scoring
- Deshaun Watson has not won a home game for Cleveland since 2023, with three touchdown passes, four turnovers, and under 200 passing yards in each of his last three home starts; Cohen predicts Panthers 22, Browns 16
Why it matters: Exact-score markets reward longshot payouts (+6500 to +19000), so Cohen's historical 66% straight-up record carries outsized value when his score-level accuracy hits — and his Panthers pick undercuts the market view that Deshaun Watson's Tampa Bay win signals a Cleveland turnaround, betting instead that Watson's home losing streak (no win in Cleveland since 2023) continues.
