On Atlanta\u2019s home turf this has the potential to be the blowout of the week!<\/p>\n<h3>Sunday, September 21, 2014<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Chargers at Bills<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Week 3\u00a0Point Spread:<\/strong> Bills -2 1\/2<\/p>\n<p>The Bills look every bit like the Kansas City Chiefs did at this point last year. I like them to keep the roll going and to run the ball right down San Diego\u2019s throat Sunday. I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m saying it but the Bills will be 3-0 Sunday night!<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63753&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cowboys at Rams<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Week 3\u00a0Point Spread:<\/strong> Dallas -1.5<\/p>\n<p>This line isn\u2019t out yet but Dallas, off a huge win should be a confident team. That\u2019s as long as they don\u2019t forget about DeMarco Murray. This game figures to be close with the Cowboys eeking out a three point win \u2013 on the road.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Redskins at Eagles<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Week 3\u00a0Point Spread:<\/strong> Eagles -6.5<\/p>\n<p>The line isn\u2019t out for this game either but it is hard not to love what Philadelphia is doing on both sides of the ball. Kirk Cousins looks like he should be fine at QB but in an uber-hostile environment its hard not to love the Eagles to remain perfect on the season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Texans (-2.5) at Giants<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Week 3\u00a0Point Spread:<\/strong> Texans -2 1\/2<\/p>\n<p>The Giants look putrid while the Texans have looked good in their 2-0 start. Houston\u2019s defense has been a terror the first two weeks and should make life miserable for Eli in Week 3 as well. This game won\u2019t be close as calls for Tom Coughlin\u2019s head ring loud and clear.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vikings at Saints<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Week 3\u00a0Point Spread:<\/strong> Vikings +9.5<\/p>\n<p>It looks as though Adrian Peterson will play this week \u2013 a huge boost for a team that looked listless without him. New Orleans has certainly had their issues defensively this year \u2013 cue an angry Peterson. While I like New Orleans to win this week, I think the Vikings keep it in doubt until the end.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Titans at Bengals<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Week 3\u00a0Point Spread:<\/strong> Bengals -7<\/p>\n<p>Cinci looks like one of the best teams in the game right now \u2013 the defense is absolutely insane and the offense is doing its thing as well. The Titans were awful last week \u2013 can\u2019t depend on them to keep this one close.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=66501&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ravens at Browns<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Week 3\u00a0Point Spread:<\/strong> Browns +2<\/p>\n<p>Off a confidence inspiring win against New Orleans, I like the Browns to keep the roll going. They are 2-0 ATS so far this year and look decent all over the field. I\u2019m not sure about Baltimore just yet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Packers at Lions<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Week 3\u00a0Point Spread:<\/strong> Packers +1.5<\/p>\n<p>The Pack are 0-2 ATS so far this year but seem to be in a good position here. Green Bay\u2019s weakness on defense is versus the run and the Lions can\u2019t run the ball. On paper Green Bay is the better team and absolutely need a big performance to avoid falling below .500. I like the Packers to get it done this week against a schizophrenic Lions team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Colts at Jaguars<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Week 3\u00a0Point Spread:<\/strong> Colts -7<\/p>\n<p>Indy is due for a big win and shouldn\u2019t have a problem against the lowly Jags.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Raiders at Patriots<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Week\u00a03\u00a0Point Spread:<\/strong> Pats -13.5<\/p>\n<p>New England finally got off the mat last week and has the honor of taking on the pathetic Raiders this week. If this game is close, there is something askew in the universe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>49ers at Cardinals<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Week 3\u00a0Point Spread:<\/strong> 49ers +2.5<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t be scared of the road dog here. The 49ers maybe needed a bit of a wake-up call and that\u2019s what they got in Week 2. While the 49ers have underachieved a bit this season, the Cards look as though they have overachieved. Expect the universe rights itself Sunday as the Cards suffer their first loss at the hands of their division foe. San Fran is 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games as road underdog.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Broncos at Seahawks<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Week 3\u00a0Point Spread:<\/strong> Broncos +4.5<\/p>\n<p>Game of the weekend \u2013 hands down! Seattle will be a motivated bunch after a humbling loss last week. They get to play in front of the 12th man \u2013 we all saw what that did to Aaron Rodgers and company! Although I like the Hawks to prevail, 4.5 is just too much for me. I see this as a three point game \u2013 take the Broncos to cover.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63752&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chiefs at Dolphins<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Week 3\u00a0Point Spread:<\/strong> Chiefs +4.5<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs played the Broncos tough last week \u2013 they are better than their record suggests. They actually outgained the Broncos in that game. Miami, coming off a 29-10 loss at Buffalo may be in trouble here \u2013 take the Chiefs to run the ball down Miami\u2019s throat!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Steelers at Panthers<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Week 3\u00a0Point Spread:<\/strong> Panthers -3<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers didn\u2019t look very good last week in a 26-6 loss to Baltimore \u2013 not a whole lot of optimism for this team ahead of this week. With a week of action under his belt expect Cam Newton\u2019s offense to be on point and for Carolina\u2019s defense to dominate.<\/p>\n<h3>Monday, September 22, 2014<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Bears at Jets<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Week 3\u00a0Point Spread:<\/strong> Bears +1 1\/2<\/p>\n<p>The Bears beat Indy on the road last week and will enter this week even healthier than they were last week. Although the Jets played well last week, the Bears look poised to take the next step.<\/p>\n<h3>Check out our Updated NFL <a title=\"NFL Week 3 Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/nfl.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">*Week 3 Point Spreads<\/a>*.<\/h3>\n<p>CHECK BACK HERE SOON.
