NO-NYG | SF-LAC | BAL-PIT | KC-DEN

Point spread: ATL -5 | Matchup quality: 59.4 (of 100)

Katherine Terrell's pick: If A.J. Green is healthy, the Bengals should be able to attack the Falcons' defense, which just lost a third starter. If he's not, the Bengals' offense is handicapped without him or running back Joe Mixon. The Falcons had trouble running the ball against the Saints, which is a good sign for the Bengals after their run defense played poorly against the Panthers in Week 3. Bengals 34, Falcons 28.

Vaughn McClure's pick: The Falcons are banged up on defense, putting the onus on the offense to take advantage of every scoring opportunity. If rookie Calvin Ridley continues to play at a high level next to Julio Jones and the Falcons find a way to block disruptive Bengals defensive lineman Geno Atkins, they should score enough points to win at home. Falcons 28, Bengals 24.

FPI win projection: ATL, 66 percent. No team has moved up more over the course of the season in FPI's rankings than the Bengals, jumping from 25th to 14th. The Falcons might be 1-2, but FPI still ranks them in the top five thanks in large part to what it sees as the fifth-strongest offense.

What to watch for in fantasy: Tyler Boyd was on the field for 38 of the Bengals' 47 pass plays and handled seven more targets in Week 3. It's safe to say he has earned his way into the weekly WR3 discussion. Read more.

Point spread: NE -7 | Matchup quality: 50.4 (of 100)

Cameron Wolfe's pick: The Dolphins haven't won in Foxborough in a decade, and this appears to be one of their best chances catching a struggling New England team. This also seems like a prime opportunity for Tom Brady to get right at home against a Miami defense that will be without key defenders William Hayes and Andre Branch and likely Chase Allen. A Dolphins loss will show there's progress needed to catch the Patriots in the AFC East. Patriots 31, Dolphins 23.

Mike Reiss' pick: The first thing Bill Belichick noted about the Dolphins in his midweek news conference was that they rank first in the NFL in average drive start (31.7-yard line) on kickoffs and are tied for second in the NFL with a plus-four turnover differential. It sounds like he is expecting a field-position type of game in which a turnover could sway the outcome. I like the Patriots to bounce back after back-to-back losses. Patriots 27, Dolphins 17.

FPI win projection: NE, 72 percent. Obviously neither team can win the AFC East on Sunday, but the winner can go a long way in taking control of the race. If the Dolphins pull the upset in Foxborough, it would be Miami in control of the division as a 68 percent favorite. If the Pats hold serve at home, they'd be the majority favorites at 57 percent.

What to watch for in fantasy: Sony Michel's NFL career is off to a slow start, but it hasn't helped that he has seen eight-plus men in the box on 42 percent of his 24 carries. Read more.

Point spread: PHI -4 | Matchup quality: 48.9 (of 100)

Tim McManus' pick: The Eagles' defense yielded 25 points per game as the visitor last season compared to 12 points at home in 2017, and the trend has continued through three games this season. Fortunes could change some this week against a Titans team that is near the bottom of the league in scoring (16.3 points per game). Carson Wentz should get a weapon or two back Sunday, and the offense will do enough to get the job done. Eagles 23, Titans 17.

Turron Davenport's pick: The Titans are looking to make a statement with a win over the defending Super Bowl champions. They have won 11 of the past 13 games at home. Tennessee's physical defense will keep the game close while QB Marcus Mariota and the offense find a way to generate a couple of big gains against an overly aggressive Eagles secondary that is without safety Rodney McLeod. Titans 24, Eagles 20.

FPI win projection: PHI, 62 percent. Wentz's Total QBR (36.3) in his first week back was his lowest in a game since Week 11 of 2016 at Seattle. For the Titans, Mariota apparently wasn't healthy enough to start, but he was healthy enough to post the team's best QBR of the season with a 62.2 in relief of an injured Blaine Gabbert.

What to watch for in fantasy: The Titans' defense ranks fifth in terms of adjusted fantasy points allowed thus far, so Wentz might not be the best fantasy start this week. Read more.

Point spread: IND -1.5 | Matchup quality: 46.2 (of 100)

Sarah Barshop's pick: In its first three games, Houston combined for 19 points in the first half and 40 in the second half. DeAndre Hopkins has gone five consecutive games without a first-quarter reception. This is a must-win for the Texans if they want to have any chance of turning around their season, but they'll fall short in Indianapolis against a Colts team that also has been competitive in all three of its games. Colts 24, Texans 20.

Mike Wells' pick: The Colts are two failed red zone attempts in the final minute of their two losses from being 3-0. They scored only one touchdown on five attempts inside the 20-yard line against Philadelphia in Week 3. The Texans are 21st in the league in that category. The Colts make it two straight over the Texans in Indianapolis after losing two in a row to them at Lucas Oil Stadium. Colts 23, Texans 17.

FPI win projection: IND, 61 percent. Are the Colts easing QB Andrew Luck back in after a long layoff, or is something missing from his game? Luck's average target depth has been just under 5.5 yards, which is far below his career average. Deshaun Watson, on the other hand, has been aggressive passing downfield, with his average target depth being over 11 yards downfield.

What to watch for in fantasy: Since the start of last season, no team has allowed more deep completions than the Colts. Read more.

Point spread: DAL -3 | Matchup quality: 45.7 (of 100)

Michael Rothstein's pick: Detroit has the top-ranked pass defense and worst-ranked run defense in the league. And that plays into the strengths of Dallas' offense. The question is whether the Lions can do enough on offense to force Dallas to have to win by making Dak Prescott beat them. The Lions discovered offensive balance against the Patriots -- and they'll carry that on the road. It'll be a close game. Lions 27, Cowboys 21.

Todd Archer's pick: The passing game has been a weakness for the Cowboys dating back to the midway point of last season. The Lions come to AT&T Stadium with the No. 1 pass defense. Perhaps that's because they are allowing 149.3 yards per game on the ground. If there is a week for the Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott to go left, right and up the middle, this is it. Elliott has gone three straight games without 20 carries, the longest stretch of his career. If the Cowboys want to copy a model for success, roll out what Seattle did to them last week. Cowboys 24, Lions 16.

FPI win projection: DAL, 69 percent. The Cowboys would have just a 14 percent chance to reach the playoffs with a loss, per FPI. Dallas has reached the playoffs only once before after a 1-3 start (1996).

What to watch for in fantasy: Byron Jones has been one of the league's best corners this season, which could spell some trouble for WR Marvin Jones Jr. Read more.

Point spread: JAX -7.5 | Matchup quality: 45.2 (of 100)

Rich Cimini's pick: The Jets aren't in a good place offensively -- only two touchdown drives longer than 28 yards in the past two games. And now they're supposed to rebound against arguably the best defense in the league? On the road? With a rookie quarterback? Not happening. Their only chance is if they turn Blake Bortles into Tyrod Taylor. Jaguars 23, Jets 13.

Mike DiRocco's pick: It's looking good for the Jaguars to have back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and A.J. Cann (triceps). Fournette, who hasn't played since the first half of the season opener, was missed last week against Tennessee, especially with T.J. Yeldon (ankle) banged up. Coach Doug Marrone said Fournette won't be limited whenever he returns. That should boost an offense that couldn't get into a rhythm and didn't execute in the red zone last week. Jaguars 17, Jets 14.

FPI win projection: JAX, 73 percent. After posting an 83.0 Total QBR in Week 1, Sam Darnold has followed it up with a 24.6 over his past two games. It won't get any easier against a Jaguars defense that has given up the lowest-opposing QBR since the start of last season.

What to watch for in fantasy: Isaiah Crowell's usage patterns through three games haven't been encouraging, as he has just 38 carries to Bilal Powell's 31. Now he gets a tough Jags defense. Read more.

Point spread: GB -10 | Matchup quality: 40.1 (of 100)

Mike Rodak's pick: Opponents have posted a Total QBR of 50.0 or better in seven of 10 road games for the Bills under coach Sean McDermott. In his career at home, Aaron Rodgers is 49-6-1 when he posts a Total QBR of 50.0 or better. It would be an upset if Buffalo can make Rodgers look like a below-average quarterback, and also if Rodgers loses at home playing average or above average. Packers 28, Bills 21.

Rob Demovsky's pick: How will a roughing-the-passer call affect this game? That seems to be on everyone's mind around the Packers. They lead the NFL with five such penalties through three weeks, but at least Sunday's referee, Bill Vinovich, has called only two so far. Maybe the Packers will get away clean for a change and enjoy an easy win. Packers 31, Bills 23.

FPI win projection: GB, 76 percent. No team had a bigger improvement in its FPI after last week than the Bills. FPI raised its estimation of the Bills by four points, one of the biggest one-week improvements independent of a quarterback change in the metric's history.

What to watch for in fantasy: Josh Allen ranked 17th overall with a 21 OFP in Week 3. He had 28 fantasy points and now has to be taken even more seriously as a potential fantasy option. Read more.
