NFL Week 3 Picks: Predicting How Every Team Will Fare This Weekend

Week 3 of the NFL season got off to a wild start on Thursday night in Philadelphia, and the surprises are sure to continue this weekend with a slew of intriguing matchups on the schedule.

In the Week 3 opener, Andy Reid and Kansas City took advantage of five careless turnovers from Chip Kelly's Eagles to earn a hard-fought road win and advance to 3-0 on the season. Seven other unbeaten teams will be looking to join the Chiefs at 3-0 after this weekend, but not every 2-0 team will stay perfect.

Below, I'll predict every remaining Week 3 showdown, highlighting three road teams set to come out on top this weekend.

Green Bay Packers Over Cincinnati Bengals (+2.5)

In what is sure to be a thrilling matchup between two 1-1 teams, the Green Bay Packers will travel southeast to take on the Cincinnati Bengals.

Although a case can be made for both teams, like Vegas, I give the slight edge to the Packers, who will have had an extra day of rest come Sunday afternoon. It also doesn't hurt that Green Bay will have Aaron Rodgers calling the shots this weekend.

Rogers' 813 passing yards and seven touchdowns certainly trump Andy Dalton's numbers and are good enough to make him the league's leading passer through two weeks.

Plus, while the Bengals defense has been stout against the run this season, its been middle-of-the-road in terms of defending the pass, allowing seven yards per pass attempt and 238 yards per game through the air.

With Rodgers and a plethora of talented receivers coming to town, that doesn't bode well for the Bengals.

Atlanta Falcons Over Miami Dolphins (-1)

The Miami Dolphins are 2-0, but are they for real? We'll find out in Week 3 when they play host to the Atlanta Falcons.

I'm leaning toward Atlanta exposing Miami this weekend, though. After all, the Falcons have a ton of offensive firepower, even without Steven Jackson in the backfield.

Roddy White, Julio Jones and Tony Gonzalez are three of the best pass-catchers in the NFL today and should thrive against Miami's lackluster secondary, which has surrendered 280 passing yards per game and 12 yards per reception in 2013.

Meanwhile, the Dolphins offense has been nothing to write home about, ranking 13th in passing yards and a lowly 28th in rushing offense, averaging 60.5 yards per game on the ground.

It's fair to say that both of these teams deserve to be 2-1 after Week 3.

Chicago Bears Over Pittsburgh Steelers (+1)

The undefeated Chicago Bears will face off against a desperate Pittsburgh Steelers squad on prime time Sunday night.

Unfortunately for the Steelers, desperation won't make up for the lack of offensive weapons in Pittsburgh. Mike Tomlin's team ranks 27th in the league in passing yards and 31st in rushing yards through two weeks, and the Steelers' defensive struggles have only made matters worse. 

The following stat from ESPN's Trey Wingo puts the Steelers' offensive woes into proper perspective:

Pittsburgh was gashed to the tune of 127 rushing yards in Week 2 against Cincinnati and should struggle to contain Matt Forte in Week 3. 

In the end, this matchup is more about Pittsburgh's weaknesses than Chicago's strengths. The Steelers simply aren't a quality football team at the moment; look for the Bears to take advantage of that this weekend.
