NFL Picks Week 3: Which Teams Will Reach 3-0 Effortlessly?

Through two weeks, the NFL has seven teams that remain unscathed in the loss column.

However, there will be at least one loser (provided there are no ties) as New England travels to Buffalo.

That said, which of the final seven will reach 3-0 with ease?

There are only two who make it look easy, and there's one in each conference.

Detroit Lions (over Minnesota Vikings)

For the Lions, it's a big divisional game on the road and could give them sole possession of first in the NFC North if Chicago upsets Green Bay.

With that in mind, Detroit is playing with arguably more confidence than any team in the league right now, and Minnesota is coming off a heart-breaking loss to Tampa Bay in Week 2.

Although the Vikings still have Adrian Peterson in the backfield, there's not much else they have to offer against a solid Lions team.

Detroit has one of the best offenses in the game, and their defense is only getting better.

The Vikings start out fast like they have in their first two games, but the Lions know how to keep pace.

They eventually wear down Minnesota, like San Diego and Tampa Bay did, and pull away in the second half.

New England Patriots (over Buffalo Bills)

Yes the Bills are on the rise and getting better each week.

However, they haven't played a game this important in a while, whereas it seems like every game the Pats play in is big.

Not to take anything away from Buffalo, but they are still a few steps back of Tom Brady and company despite the good start.

Like they have in Weeks 1 and 2, Buffalo puts on a great offensive performance, but the defense gets a reality check from the Pats' offense.

From kickoff to the final whistle New England has the lead, but the Bills never give up, which only bodes well for later in the year when they're in the playoff hunt.
