Week 3 Predictions

SN Iyer (Falcons at Lions (-3.5, 45.5 o/u):  The two defenses are improved with some significant personnel investments and both teams excel at running the ball behind two elite offensive lines. With no David Montgomery, it's a chance for en exciting duel between rookie first-round running backs Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson. Atlanta will try to stay grounded as long as possible to hide Desmond Ridder again, while Jared Goff will find more that he likes across the board in the passing game at home.  Pick: Lions win 27-20):  https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-picks-predictions-spread-week-3/fede9d59a6f1625dcb34ef5b

SN Bender (Atlanta Falcons at Detroit Lions (-4.5)  - The Falcons have a chance to improve to 3-0, and rookie Bijan Robinson is a problem for opposing defenses. He had 172 total yards against the Packers in Week 2. The last four meetings between these teams have been decided by a combined total of 12 points, including two one-point games. There is a little more pressure on Detroit here knowing they can't lose back-to-back home games with the Thursday Night Football matchup at Green Bay looming in Week 4.   Pick: Lions 31, Falcons 24):  https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-picks-predictions-week-3/a90621399291bbe3e1672867


CBS Prisco (Atlanta Falcons at Detroit Lions (-3.5):  The Falcons are 2-0 after winning two home games to start the season, while the Lions are coming off a terrible home loss to the Seahawks. The Detroit defense had some issues in that game. But I don't see the Lions losing two straight at home. They get back on track here. Lions take it.  Pick: Lions 27, Falcons 23):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/priscos-week-3-nfl-picks-patriots-nightmare-start-continues-with-loss-to-jets-eagles-hold-off-feisty-bucs/

Biglead (LIONS (-3.5) over FALCONS:  Those ski masks were such a stupid idea and that secondary appears to still have some serious issues. Reality came to Ford Field in droves and so did the injures. And yet we remain on a singular mission — to bet the Lions almost every week and win almost every single time. Watch this space, though, as getting burned two times in back-to-back weeks would be tough to stomach. Lions 28, Falcons 24):  https://www.thebiglead.com/posts/nfl-week-3-predictions-picks-spread-lines-01has2tj0frd


Pro Picks (ATLANTA AT DETROIT - The Falcons (2-0) are off to a surprising start and rookie RB Bijan Robinson looks like the real deal. Now they face a team with playoff aspirations coming off a disappointing loss. The Lions haven’t solved their defensive issues yet.  LIONS, 29-20):  https://apnews.com/article/pro-picks-week-3-nfl-a100b2a99f50f74c32f35e5f459d3583

O'HARA'S WEEK 3 PREVIEW: Campbell relishes the challenge of getting his team to bounce back (Lions-Falcons pick: - Week 3 is too early for the Lions to face a "must-win" game, but it's not too early to be concerned about slipping into one of those losing streaks that have haunted them in the past.  They have some injuries to overcome, but this is a game the Lions should win.  The Lions are favored by 3.5.  My pick: Lions 34, Falcons 23):  https://www.detroitlions.com/news/o-hara-s-week-3-preview-campbell-relishes-the-challenge-of-getting-his-team-to-b
