Week 3 Picks

Well, my friends, real life interrupted my routine this week. As some of you may know, I own my own business, and this weekend I've been moving into a new retail space. Thus, I've had little time to even look at this weekend's matchups, much less analyze them. So take this week's picks with a grain of salt. And a big dish of nachos.

Here we go.




Atlanta at Buffalo, 1:00 p.m.
It all depends on Mchael Vick's Hamstring and Buffalo's defensive injuries.
Prediction: Buffalo, 24-6

Carolina at Miami, 1:00 p.m.
I'm not convinced Miami is for real. I'm sure Carolina is.
Prediction: Carolina, 27-10

Cincinnati at Chicago, 1:00 p.m.
Chicago scored 38 last week and Cincy scored 37. Chicago's at home. Who really cares that much?
Prediction: Chicago, 35-31

Cleveland at Indianapolis, 1:00 p.m.
No brainer.
Prediction: Indianapolis, 35-10

Jacksonville at N.Y. Jets, 1:00 p.m.
Should be a pretty interesting game, and we should know more about each team afterward.
Prediction: New York, 20-17

New Orleans at Minnesota, 1:00 p.m.
Mike Tice's chair is literally on fire. He better put that out before he gets fired.
Prediction: New Orleans, 28-13

Oakland at Philadelphia, 1:00 p.m.
No brainer #2.
Prediction: Philadelphia, 31-10

Tampa Bay at Green Bay, 1:00 p.m.
Battle of the Bays. Always interesting for some reason. Green needs to win this one badly. I may be underestimating Tampa.
Prediction: Green Bay, 17-14

Tennessee at St. Louis, 1:00 p.m.
Jeff Fisher better start commiserating with Tice.
Prediction: St. Louis, 34-9

Arizona at Seattle, 4:05 p.m.
If Arizona is a playoff team like many predicted, they better start winning, like TODAY. I don't see it.
Prediction: Seattle, 24-13

Dallas at San Francisco, 4:05 p.m.
Niners will never recover from that 42-3 loss to Philly last week.
Prediction: Dallas, 27-13

New England at Pittsburgh, 4:15 p.m.
Read the 1,100 words I wrote the other day.
Prediction: Pittsburgh, 24-21

N.Y. Giants at San Diego, 8:30 p.m.
San Diego needs to get on the board after two tough losses. If they drop one today, they can probably stop thinking playoffs, and the Big Blue Cheating Machine will keep on rolling.
Prediction: San Diego, 34-24

Monday, Sep. 26
Kansas City at Denver, 9:00 p.m.
This should really be an excellent game. A lot of people are taking KC. They haven't played well in Denver since Schottenheimer left. The Broncos need an early snowstorm. Put on your seatbelts.
Prediction: Denver 31-30
