NFL Week 3 Picks — Buffalo at Minnesota; San Francisco at Kansas City; Dallas at Seattle

These are the condensed versions of picks for the NFL Week 2 games between the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers, and New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars for Winners and Whiners. Confidence rating is in parentheses. Note: The 5/5 does not represent the best overall pick of the day’s games, simply the best pick of each individual game.

Week 2 Review: Nothing says instant hatred like watching a team lose a cover via the back door, which the 49ers did against the Lions. There was also a little bit of a surprise the 49ers did not feature Kittle in their offense more given how much Detroit has struggled defensively. As for the Jaguars-Patriots game, maybe it is time to recognize Jacksonville is no longer a “cute” story but perhaps at worst, the third-best team in the AFC.
