Charles Curtis and Charles McDonald

NFL picks against the spread, Week 3: Can the Rams cover against the Bucs?

We’re on to Week 3 in the NFL, which kicks off Thursday with the Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans facing off. That means it’s time once again for our weekly look at the point spreads in order to help you win some money.

Last week, Charles Curtis went 5-11 (10-22 overall), and Charles McDonald went 7-9 (15-17 overall).

We now go to each of them for comments before their picks.

Charles C: Just listen to the other Charles (even though he picked the Jets to cover last week).

Charles M: Checks bounce, we bounce back. No Jets pick this week.
