Looking through the Week 3 matchups, I can comfortably say this was the easiest week of picks so far this season. Most matchups seem pretty one sided on the exception of two or three.
So here is what to watch:
The Chargers at Titans matchup is a big contest this week, even outside of the Titans fan base. This game will put one of these two teams at 2-1 and make a big statement on where these teams stand moving forward.
Atlanta at Miami is another game to keep an eye on. The Dolphins have started out 2-0 but will Atlanta bring that streak to an end this week? Can the Colts recover from the loss last week and beat San Francisco? That’s a contest to keep an eye on in the AFC South. The Packers at Bengals is also an interesting matchup and will show just how strong these two teams are.
