NFL Picks Week 4: Which Teams Will Rebound from Horrible Week 3 Losses?

It's not so much that the following three teams horribly lost in Week 3, as it is the way in which they lost.

Not being able to play consistently for a full game hurts, as it always decreases you chances of winning.

A horrible loss can be taken multiple ways, but regardless of which way, rebounding is what matters most.

That said, here are three teams who will bounce back in Week 4.

Houston Texans

After the first quarter on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, the Houston Texans were up 10-0, and then also went into halftime with a 16-10 lead.

For playing a big inter-conference like this on the road, that's a solid start, especially against the Saints.

However, New Orleans chipped away even though the Texans kept scoring and ultimately won 40-33.

The horror of the game for Houston is that they allowed 23 fourth quarter points after being up 26-17 with less than ten minutes to play.

A loss like that can only be described as a punch in the gut, but heading back home in Week 4 is just what Houston needs.

Invading the Texans are the 2-1 Pittsburgh Steelers, but with a shockingly vulnerable run defense and offensive line, Houston is eager to avenge their Week 3 loss.

Expect the Texans to come out blazing from the start, because this is a statement game for them.

Atlanta Falcons

Although the Seattle Seahawks shut-down the Cardinals and won 13-10 at home in Week 3, the Atlanta Falcons are a much more prolific offense, and have a better defense than Arizona.

Now, Seattle's defense is rather strong themselves, but they have yet to face an offense like Atlanta's and after a weak performance last week, QB Matt Ryan and company are hungry for some points.

On the road in Tampa, the Falcons only mustered a measly 13, so they will definitely improve. 

Plus, it helps that the Falcons have played a much more difficult schedule to this point, and are just a better team overall.

Early on, anticipate head coach Mike Smith to give Ryan the green light, because if the Falcons want to prove they are contenders, blowing the Seattle Seahawks out of their own stadium is going to be imperative.

However, it's not a complete annihilation, as Seattle hold their own in the first half.

St. Louis Rams

St. Louis got totally dismantled at home against arguably the AFC's best team in the Baltimore Ravens.

On the flip-side however, they play home again, except this time it's the Washington Redskins who just got offensively exposed on Monday night in Dallas.

Obviously, the Rams defense isn't as good as the Cowboys, but the concern here is whether QB Rex Grossman can respond after a loss, despite going back on the road.

St. Louie is starving for a victory, because they know they're better than being 0-3, while the Redskins overachieved for three straight games.

The Redskins' defense holds strong against a vulnerable Rams offense, but "The Gateway to the West" gets win No. 1 thanks to some more Rex Grossman miscues.
