Pro Picks Favor Broncos in Potential Super Bowl Preview
This article predicts which football teams will win their Week 3 games.
The biggest featured matchup is between the Rams and Broncos.
The Rams have a strong offense, but the Broncos are expected to win because of their defense and home-field advantage.
The Chiefs, Seahawks, Packers, Bills and Eagles are also favored to win.
The Colts and Buccaneers are selected as possible upset winners in their games.
Injuries and tired players could affect several matchups.
The predictions are opinions based on team performance, player health and betting lines.
Last week, the picks correctly chose 10 winners out of 16 games.
Denver is picked to beat the Los Angeles Rams 23-21 in a possible Super Bowl preview, despite the Rams being 2.5-point road favorites.
The forecast favors the Packers, Seahawks, Chiefs, Panthers, Bills, Bengals and Colts, with Indianapolis listed as the upset special.
The Lions, Jaguars, Giants, 49ers, Buccaneers, Saints, Ravens and Eagles are also picked to win their Week 3 matchups.
Key concerns include quarterback injuries, short rest, depleted receiving groups, defensive weaknesses and several teams trying to avoid an 0-3 start.
The picks went 10-6 straight up and 8-8 against the spread last week; the overall records are 20-12 straight up and 13-19 against the spread.
