NFL Week 3 Free Pick: Take Atlanta. The Falcons are coming off a physical battle with the Eagles and have not looked good in their first two games despite beating Philadelphia in Week 2. That said, according to latest NFL trends the road team is 5-0 against the spread in the last five meetings between these two teams and the Falcons are getting center Todd McClure (knee) back this weekend. Expect the running lanes to be wider this week for Michael Turner, who is coming off back-to-back 100-plus yard games. The Falcons are too much of a value at 1.5 when they could win outright.
