NFL Week 3 Picks

·1 hr 24 min·5 clips
Brandon Aubrey tied the game from 64 yards and won it in overtime with zero seconds left.
Around The Couch opens with a barrage of NFL jokes and a quick plug for the DVR Podcast Network and Patreon. The hosts spend a minute on live-streaming mishaps and the usual chaos that comes with getting the show running. Then they settle into Week 2 leftovers and the Week 3 picks. The week starts with Browns anxiety, Jets pain, Bears doubt, and a few lines that only make sense if you live inside the league's weekly damage report. They also toss around jokes about Minnesota, Dallas, and a few other teams that are already wearing the season's bruises. From there, the conversation shifts into the standings and the group's weekly records. Axel has 18 wins and still sits at the top. Heath is right behind with 17. The middle of the board stays crowded. Brett keeps insisting he is Mr. Consistency, even while sitting in last. The hosts compare the Week 2 numbers and laugh about how badly the results swung from one week to the next. Axel's huge Week 1 is followed by a rougher Week 2. Brett's frustration becomes its own running joke. The panel treats the leaderboard like a bar argument that keeps changing mid-sentence. Once the picks begin, the show leans into its usual pattern of interruptions, side comments, and self-inflicted detours. Someone keeps moving windows and making faces, which turns the segment into visual nonsense alongside the football talk. The group keeps snapping back to the picks after each digression. That loose rhythm is the point. By the end, Brett closes with a nod to a strong college and NFL weekend, and Ando signs off with the promise to see everyone next week. Axel finishes with the kind of earnest, half-jokey goodbye this show likes best, including a final bit of nonsense about what the Vikings need to get healthy.
