NFL Picks Week 3: Teams That Will Rebound with Big Win

Every NFL team has will have a chance to reverse their fortunes, for better or worse, in Week 3 and a few teams will rebound for huge wins.

Avoiding losing streaks is key to overall success. Consecutive losses diminish a team's confidence and create an unwanted sense of urgency in the locker room.

No one wants to deal with that this early in the season, and these three squads will bounce back in Week 3 to avoid that fate.

Baltimore Ravens

Sunday night's matchup between the Ravens and New England Patriots will be a slugfest between two of the AFC's best squads, but the Ravens will get the job done.

Arizona provided a blueprint against New England last week. Baltimore is more equipped to execute the same game plan. Expect the Ravens defense to pin their ears back and attack Tom Brady from start to finish.

Baltimore's offense fell asleep in the second half of its matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, allowing the Eagles offense to slowly take the game over. New England's defense doesn't possess the dynamic pass-rushers that Philadelphia does, and Joe Flacco will feel much more comfortable.

M&T Bank Stadium will give Baltimore an advantage as well. It's hard to see either one of these teams losing two straight, but Baltimore is a better squad in nearly every area.

This is an important game for both teams, but the Ravens will find a way to get it done.

Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys got embarrassed in every facet of the game last week, and they will take all of that frustration out on Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Both of these teams are on a roller coaster ride right now. Tampa Bay had last week's game seemingly sewn up before Eli Manning and the Giants offense torched their secondary, winning the game on an incredible comeback.

They'll remember that one, and Dallas obviously remembers its debacle. I'll bank on the Cowboys' talent to bounce back before Tampa Bay's youth.

The Bucs don't have the weapons to exploit Dallas down the field. They're the No. 29 rated offense in the league, and their No. 31 defense doesn't make things any easier.

Dallas looked outstanding in Week 1 against those Giants, and it will bounce back this week. This team isn't a finished product; Tampa Bay just doesn't have the skill players to make it matter.

New Orleans Saints

The Saints are 0-2. The Chiefs are 0-2. Both teams desperately need a win, and only one team will accomplish that goal.

Kansas City has been awful so far. At least the Saints can score.

New Orleans' defense is No. 32 in the league, but the Chiefs won't exploit it. Romeo Crennel doesn't have this team in sync, and they're playing much worse than they are on paper.

A 0-3 record is a tough hole to climb out of, and New Orleans will batter the Chiefs' No. 21 defense into submission. Drew Brees is still himself, whether his defense can stop anyone or not.

I still think the Saints finish under .500, but Kansas City has looked completely out of sorts so far on both sides of the ball. The Superdome is going to be loud, and New Orleans' back is against the wall.

Kansas City remains winless.
