NFL Week 3 marks "Kitchen Sink Week," where winless teams attempt to stop the bleeding and save their seasons before things get out of hand.
There are 10 winless teams entering Week 3, and I'm targeting two of them for my Week 3 NFL underdog parlay.
Find out below why I like Texans and Bears to notch their first wins of the season.

Texans & Bears Moneyline Parlay
The Case for the Texans
The Texans are facing a must-win divisional game against the Jaguars on Sunday.
Another loss and further scrutiny will come down hard on quarterback C.J. Stroud, head coach DeMeco Ryans and offensive coordinator Nick Caley.
I’m backing the Texans here for the sole reason I still believe they’re the better squad all around. They fought hard in both of their losses to the Rams and Buccaneers — defeats that may not look so bad considering those teams are undefeated.
Last weekend, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence basically threw the game away against a Joe Burrow-less Bengals team. Additionally, the Jags defense looked like a disaster in that game.
I believe Stroud and Nico Collins will have a huge game Sunday and lead the Texans to a bounce-back win a divisional game they desperately need.
According to our Evan Abrams, the Texans are 12-2 SU and 10-4 ATS on the road or on a neutral site against the Jaguars, dating back to 2011.
The Case for the Bears
Similarly, I’m on the Bears to defeat the Cowboys.
After a beat-down loss to the Lions, Bears head coach Ben Johnson and his squad will need to rebound to stay afloat in the tough NFC North.
The Cowboys have a below-average defense, so this is a good spot — at least on paper — for Johnson and Caleb Williams to get the offense going. Rome Odunze is off to a spectacular start this season, and now he gets to face a Cowboys defense that somehow allowed the Giants put up 37 points last week.
Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson combined to put up 309 receiving yards on Dallas, so this should be a great spot for Odunze and DJ Moore.
