Week 3 NFL trends are up and so are NFL locks week 3. We start out with a free sports pick.

Matt Rivers, who was the winningest handicapper ever—nobody came close—on a large network of sites.

He says your comp winner for Sunday is on the Saints at -3 -120.

As I like to say often this game is far from the lock of my life but the Saints at home are just too cheap at around a field goal. It is going to take a lot for anybody in the NFL to win in New Orleans with that rowdy crowd as the defending champs still having one of the best offenses in the game. Things have not been all that great thus far as the wins against Minnesota and then at San Francisco were not exactly offensive clinics but when Drew Breees needs to make a play he seems to be able to do it at will. Plus great teams find ways to win and that is what this great team has done and should do one more time today.

Reggie Bush is obviously out with the injury but I’m not so sure that is all that terrible for this New Orleans offense. I’m not saying it’s a good thing at all as Bush is a big-time talent for sure but these guys seem to be able to plug in players and are able to be just fine. Thomas and Colston and Henderson and on and on and on just continue to chew up yards, score touchdowns and win games. Today is not going to be easy at all as Mike Smith’s Falcons are very good and easily the second best in the division. Matt Ryan is a stud who is about to become a superstar and Tony Gonzalez, Roddy White and Michael Turner are no joke at all. But 3ish in the Superdome? Come on?

I am looking for a competitive game but I’m hard pressed to believe that the Falcons are going to go on the road and be able to actually win this game in an ultra-hostile environment and that is pretty much what it takes in order to grab that cash. It’s just too cheap.

Who Dat!

The pick: New Orleans Saints -3.

For more information: Matt Rivers says: bang, bang, bang! This past week has been all about smacking the Crookie as usual and nothing at all changes today. Saturday marked yet another phenomenal day and a ton of more pure profit. Now I raise that bar in a monster monster way. Pretty much the biggest play in my arsenal is here in this 500,000* Game of my Life between New York and Miami. A pair of bonus 200,000* in Washington-St. Louis and Detroit-Minnesota.

I feel beyond tremendous right about now and if you have been listening to me you do as well. 3-0 sweep capped off by the late game from Miami. What more could you ever ask for? Click now to purchase
