The Sports Illustrated team breaks down their picks to win all 16 games in Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season. /

The 2024 NFL season is officially in full swing and we've had two very different weeks so far. Favorites dominated the slate in Week 1, but underdogs came back with a vengeance in Week 2, going 8-8 in the 16 games.

As a result of the unpredictable Week 2, the Sports Illustrated team had a tough week with their picks. Only Connor Orr and Peter Dewey finished the week in the green with a special shoutout to Orr, who gained over three units on the week, hitting big underdogs in the Saints and Buccaneers.

Let's look at everyone's results from Week 2:

• Albert Breer, Senior NFL Reporter (8-8 -2.43 units)
• Mitch Goldich, Senior Editor (8-8 -3.15 units)
• Gilberto Manzano, NFL Staff Writer (8-8 -2.88 units)
• Connor Orr, Senior Writer (9-7 +3.01 units)
• John Pluym, NFL Managing Editor (8-8 -2.92 units)
• Matt Verderame, NFL Staff Writer (8-8 -3.15 units)
• Jennifer Piacenti, Senior Betting and Fantasy Analyst (8-8 -3.15 units)
• Peter Dewey, Senior Editor Betting (9-7 +0.55 units)
• Iain MacMillan, Senior Editor Betting (8-8, -1.61 units)

We move ahead to Week 3 with hopes that we'll see some more predictable results. As always, every member of the SI team has locked in their picks for this week, let's dive into them.
