- Eric Cohen delivered exact score predictions for all 16 Week 3 NFL games, finishing last season 188-96-1 straight-up (66%) and going 21-11 (66%) on 2026 NFL picks.
- Cohen is backing the Panthers (-2.5, 42.5) over the Browns, calling Carolina's No. 2 scoring offense (35.5 PPG) against a Cleveland unit bottom-five in total offense, third-down offense, and red-zone scoring.
- Deshaun Watson hasn't won a game in Cleveland since 2023, with three TDs, four turnovers, and under 200 passing yards in each of his last three home starts.
- Only three Week 3 matchups are divisional: Commanders vs. Seahawks (-7, 40), Steelers vs. Bengals (-3.5, 42.5), and Texans vs. Colts (+2.5, 43.5).
- In the last nine regular-season meetings between the Seahawks and Commanders, one team has scored exactly 17 points in six of them — a trend Cohen flagged for bettors.
- Exact-score payouts start at +6500 and reach above +19000, with Cohen also calling two underdog upsets that are only revealed on SportsLine.
Why it matters: Exact-score NFL bets pay +6500 to +19000 but hit rarely, making a 66% straight-up expert track record the difference between a fun lottery ticket and an informed wager; Cohen's Panthers pick hinges on Watson's documented home collapse (no Cleveland win since 2023, under 200 passing yards in three straight starts), giving bettors a concrete statistical anchor most casual picks lack.
