Drama and a little bit of desperation can already be expected in Week 3 of the 2016 NFL season. A number of teams are aiming to avoid an ugly 1-2 start, go above .500 and notch its first win overall. But some are going to have to survive the week—hopefully victorious at the end—with an unproven quarterback and depressed lineup (stay strong, Minnesota!).
With that being said, continue reading on below for a look our expert picks and predictions piece for the upcoming week. And by the looks of it, majority of the selected straight-up winners are all playing as the hosts. So, you better be very careful and sure about cashing on the visiting clubs, okay?
By the way, we also included our own picks for each game, together with the corresponding odds and links, at the bottom.
