NFL Week 3 picks, predictions: 'Must-win' games for Vikings, Chargers, Bengals, Patriots

We're just entering the third week of the 2023 NFL season, so it's too early to call any games "must-win" games with 14 regular season games remaining for each team after the NFL Week 3 schedule.

But some teams really, really need to win in Week 3 to avoid trying to climb out of an 0-3 hole to start the season.

The Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Chargers, who both entered the season with Super Bowl aspirations, face off on Sunday, meaning that one of those teams will be 0-3 after the game (barring a tie).
