"The Week 3 NFL schedule for the 2025 season brings some intriguing matchups. There are two battles between undefeated teams, with the Rams visiting the Eagles and the Cardinals facing the 49ers. Injuries have affected a few top QBs. The Bengals' Joe Burrow ( toe), the Vikings' J.J. McCarthy ( ankle) and the Jets' Justin Fields ( concussion) are ruled out, and the 49ers' Brock Purdy ( toe, shoulder) and the Commanders' Jayden Daniels ( knee) are listed as questionable. With that, their notable backups are looking to make their mark."

Plus, analytics writer Seth Walder makes a bold prediction for each matchup, and fantasy analyst Eric Moody shares fantasy football intel. We also have Football Power Index (FPI) matchup quality ratings (out of 100) and game projections, and three analysts -- Pamela Maldonado, Moody and Walder -- give us final score picks for every game."
