In his NFL Week 3 picks, CBS Sports' Pete Prisco picked the Atlanta Falcons to defeat the Detroit Lions on Sunday at Detroit's Ford Field.

Prisco predicted the Falcons defeat the unbeaten Lions, 26-20.

“This is the best game of the week, pitting two 2-0 teams,” Prisco wrote. “The Atlanta offense against the Lions defense will be fun to watch. I think the Falcons will get the best of it. Matt Ryan to Julio Jones is the difference.”
