NFL Week 3 Picks

Week 2 was a ho-hum, so-so effort. This week I guarantee more than 9/16 picks or your money back.

Titans (+2.5) over JETS

Classic trap game for the Jets. Adrian Grenier is quite poised (sportswriters word du jour) but the Titans are desperate.

TEXANS (-4) over Jaguars

An ole Texas sized shootout.

Chiefs (+8.5) over EAGLES

8.5 is too many points to give to a Kevin Kolb team. Then again, it might be too much for a Matt Cassel team to overcome.

RAVENS (-13.5) over Browns

For the second straight week, this will be my stone cold, lead pipe lock of the week. The Browns can't score, and the Ravens are flying on offense and defense. If you're still alive in pick 'ems and haven't used Baltimore, this is the week to use 'em.

Giants (-6.5) over BUCS

If I was a gambling man, I would look at the Giants hard this week. Sure they've had to to travel quite a bit the last 6 days, but talent wins of Byron Leftwich.

Lions (+6.5) over REDSKINS

Again, just like last week, I think the Skins will win. But they've scored one offensive touchdown in two weeks, so they shouldn't be favored by more than one TD. Let's call it Skins 19-14.

Also, do you think Campbell and Zorn at checking out the specials at Zaytinya in this picture?


RAMS (+6.5) over Packers

Even though the Rams suck, they still haven't played a home game. The Packers offensive line looked horrendous last week, and it doesn't look to get any better this week. Wouldn't be surprised to see an upset here.

VIKINGS (-7) over 49ers

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, loves the Niners this week. I haven't seen one column where the writer was picking the Vikes. Am I missing something here? Sure there first two opponents were the Browns and Lions, but they still crushed them. The Niners can't pass while the Vikes can stuff the run with Kevin and Pat Williams.

PATRIOTS (-4) over Falcons

This is the week B & B get back on track. The Falcons have played two homes games and haven't had to travel yet. Yep, gimme the Pats.

Bears (-2.5) over SEAHAWKS

This is strictly if Hasselbeck doesn't play. Even if he does, I say he's ineffective. Damn, I hate to see Cutler at 2-1.

Drew Brees (-6) over BILLS

This games calls for wind and rain, which usually means lots of field goals and punting. Except when Drew Brees and the Saints play. This years MVP.

Dolphins (+5.5) over CHARGERS

Always take the opponent over a Norv Turner led team in September. That strategy rarely fails.











BENGALS (+4) over Steelers.

Kiss the baby. The Steelers haven't lost at Cinci since 2001. I think its close, but the streak will continue.

Broncos (-1.5) over RAIDERS

JaMarcus Russell alert! Good God! He's terrible!

Colts (+2.5) over CARDINALS

I'll take the over in this one. WAAAY OVVER. The Colts D was completely gassed after the Monday night affair. Short week and they have to play the Cards high flying attack. Oh, and the Colts offense isn't too bad either.

Panthers (-8.5) over COWBOYS

I'm guessing we see more shots of Jerry Jones picking his nose during this game.
