CBS Sports analyst Jordan Dajani has tipped Denver to beat the Los Angeles Rams 26–24 in Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season, while projecting Buffalo to defeat the Los Angeles Chargers 29–17.

Dajani’s Broncos pick is an underdog call: he selected Denver at +2.5. He pointed to the team’s recovery against Jacksonville in Week 2 and uncertainty over Rams receiver Puka Nacua’s availability.

A separate SportsLine model forecast the Rams to win 22–21 after 10,000 simulations, underscoring that the projections are not uniform. Neither forecast is a game result.

Dajani also picked the Bills at -7, citing Buffalo’s strength and additional preparation time. His other featured selections were Houston over Indianapolis, Detroit over the New York Jets and Philadelphia over Chicago.

His published record was 7–9 against the spread in Week 2 and 15–17 for the season; his straight-up season record was 19–13.
