The Buffalo Curse, a Mega-Mailbag, QB Roulette, and Week 3 Picks With Joe House and Tom Pelissero

Pelissero says Justin Herbert would command an unprecedented trade package and $350M-plus deal if the Chargers ever moved him.

  • Bucks and Chargers desperation: Simmons bets Tampa Bay (+1.5) against Minnesota, citing an 0-11 ATS streak nearing the all-time record; Pelissero flags Justin Herbert's no-trade clause and $350M-plus market value if the Chargers (0-2) ever moved him.
  • Deshaun Watson's redemption arc: Pelissero says Watson's strong second half vs. Tampa (with rookie WRs Casey Concepcion and Denzel Boston) has revived internal Browns-organization goodwill, though external fan trust remains uncertain.
