NFL Picks Week 3: Which Teams Will Defend Home Field Advantage?

The upper-echolon clubs in the NFL are usually good on their home turf. 

Tom Brady has won 29 straight in Gillette Stadium. 

There is always pressure to win at home, but in Week 3 these teams shouldn't have any problem sending their fans home happy. 

San Diego Chargers

Last season, the Chiefs were the surprise of the AFC West, and took the division. 

This year, Kansas City quite possibly could be the worst team in the NFL. 

Philip Rivers is off to another MVP-type season and the defense is playing up to their potential early in the season for a change.

No Tony Moeaki. No Eric Berry. No Jamaal Charles. 

KC is in trouble.

Like everyday in San Diego isn't already nice enough, on Sunday, Chargers fans can sit back, enjoy the weather and watch their team cruise to victory. 

Carolina Panthers

Cam Newton will finally get his first win against the Jaguars this Sunday.

Blaine Gabbert is making his professional debut, and although I don't think he'll play poorly, the team around him isn't ready to slow down Newton, Steve Smith and the rest of Carolina's surprisingly potent offensive attack. 

That simple. 

New Orleans

Many people believe the Texans are balanced enough to leave the Superdome with a win on Sunday. 

You know how hard that is to do?

Sure, the Browns somehow did it last year, but Brees is basically unstoppable in New Orleans. 

Sean Payton will call many quick throws to negate the Texans' pass rush, while the Saints defense will be able to rattle Matt Schaub enough to force some bad decisions that could lead to turnovers. 

It won't be easy, but the Saints will make more plays late in the game and get the victory.
