Week 3 picks

Wow, week 3 already. I've got a 25-7 record straight up after two weeks, but this week poses a few matchup questions. It just gets more difficult from here on out.

Washington Crackheads over the Lions. Last week the paltry Crackhead offense managed only 9 points over a terrible St Louis squad on the road. But these are the Lions.

Green Bay over St Louis. Aaron Rodgers bounces back after a home loss to Cincy last week.

Minnesota over San Fran. This game will be much closer than anticipated. SF is playing great defense and the last last time these two teams met, Adrian Petersen was held to 17 yards. Favre isn't scaring any secondaries this season. I believe Minnesota wins but by 3 points or less at home.

Atlanta over New England. This is another game which is up in the air to me, however, I've watched both of New Englands games so far this season and the defense looks tired and the offense looks out of snyc, especially if Wes Welker won't be playing this weekend again.

J-E-T-S, jets jets jets over Tennessee. Tennessee is desperate for a win after starting 0-2 but I don't see it happening on the road this weekend. Rex Ryan has the defense playing tremendous football, the D-Line is causing havoc. I don't expect a letdown after last weeks win over the Patriots. What the hell is up with the air raid siren in the stadium?

Philly over Kansas City. It's the return of Mike Vick to the NFL this week, so hide your beagle, Vick's an Eagle. This game is a no brainer.

New York Football Giants destroy the Tampa Bay Bucs. New York puts atleast 34 points up on the Bucs defense which causes longtime Bucs fans to remember the glory days of Leeman Bennett, Richard Williamson and Sam Wyche.

Baltimore over Cleveland. Baltimore might rush for 300 yards as a team on Cleveland this Sunday.

Houston over Jacksonville. Both teams have horrible secondaries but Houston has Andre Johnson who should post another big week.

New Orleans over Buffalo. Drew Brees passes for 3 scores and 350 yards. (hope you are following along at home with my printable forecast on how Brees wins the passing records this season)

Chicago over Seattle. Yes, it's tough to win in Seattle, but Hasslebeck isn't playing, the defense is giving up nearly 6 yards a carry and Senaca Wallace is going to be under center. Please.

San Diego over Miami. San Diego has some issues. The lost their center for several weeks, LT is finally showing his age, but Phillip Rivers can heave the ball 50 times a game against this porous secondary of Miami and they win at home.

Pittsburgh over Cincinnati. Enough said.

Denver over Oakland. Denver is playing some really great defense right now and going up against JaMarcus Russel at quarterback for the Raiders doesn't hurt. This could be the lowest scoring game of the weekend.

Indy over Arizona. Wild over the top prediction for this game, Kurt Warner gets knocked out in the first half and Matt Leinart comes in and makes this game close at the end. Perhaps the highest scoring game of the weekend.

Dallas over Carolina (Monday Night) Dallas score 38 points and finally gets a win at the North Texas Football Cathedral Jerry Jones built for 1 Billion dollars. Then again these days with Congress spending out of control, how much do you REALLY get for a billion dollars?
