NFL Week 3 Picks From the MMQB Staff: Cowboys, Saints, Falcons Among Undefeated NFC Teams

Our writers and editors pick a winner in all 16 games.

It’s Week 3! Some of the top teams in the league are favored by double digits (CowboysChiefs49ers) or close to it (Jaguars). The games expected to be most competitive include some of the NFC’s seven undefeated teams. Two of those teams are underdogs on the road: the Falcons in Detroit and the Saints in Green Bay. The only battle between unbeatens will take place in Philadelphia, where the Eagles will face the Buccaneers on Monday night.

On the other end of the spectrum, the Vikings will square off against the Chargers in a battle of teams looking to avoid 0–3 starts.

Here’s who is picking games this season:

Albert Breer, senior NFL reporter
Conor Orr, senior writer
Gilberto Manzano, staff writer
Matt Verderame, staff writer
John Pluym, managing editor
Mitch Goldich, editor
Claire Kuwana, editor
