Week 3 picks
Week 1: 10-6 (62.5%)
Week 2: 10-5 (66.7%)
Total: 20-11 (64.5%)
Apparently I can't pick winners any better than picking against the spread. It's a good thing I've been very good vs the spread.
Falcons over Cheifs, bigger fail last week, Matt Ryan 13-33, 2 INT, 0TDs or Cheifs losing 8-23 vs the Raiders?
Bills over Raiders, The Bills look like they are for real, but I'm still not sure. After they stomp the Raiders I won't be any more convinced.
Bucs over Bears, the win over the Colts showed the Bears aren't bad, the loss to the Panthers shows they aren't good.
Panthers over Vikings:
Jean Girard: [has Ricky in an arm lock] I will let you go, Ricky. But first, I want you to say..."I... love... Frerotte."
Cal Naughton, Jr.: Don't you say it, Ricky. These colors don't run.
Ricky Bobby: I'm not gonna say it.
Cal Naughton, Jr.: Good.
Ricky Bobby: Hey, look, Frenchy, I thought about it. So why don't you go ahead and break my arm?
Jean Girard: I do not want to break your arm, Monsieur Bobby, but I am a man of my word. But, you have forced me to do this. You are now mocking me and making me look ridiculous. Just say, "I love Frerotte."
Cal Naughton, Jr.: You know, just to put this in there, I had a whole mess of Frerotte this morning. They're just like Tavaris, maybe even better.
Ricky Bobby: Wait, are they the really mediocre QBs?
Cal Naughton, Jr.: Yeah.
Jean Girard: Yes they are. They are the really mediocre QBs. It's just a French word for them.
Ricky Bobby: Oh, my god, I love those. Well, why didn't someone yell that right-right away?
Jean Girard: So how about you just say, "I like really mediocre QBs" That is a fair compromise, no?
Ricky Bobby: No, then everyone will know I really meant Frerotte. Break it Pepe LePeau!
***********
Pats over Dolphins, Cassel is good enough for the rest of the Pats to carry him over bad teams. How will they do against a good team? We won't find out this week.
Giants over Bengals, The Bengals are just a mess. They were on the rise, but couldn't hold it together long enough to make it past simply average.
Titans over Texans, WARNING, WARNING, TITANS WITH A DECENT QB, WARNING, WARNING.
Redskins over Cardinals, remember what I said last week about remembering the Cardinals are still the Cardinals? Well they are about it prove it.
Broncos over Saints, I'm not as up on the Broncos as some they needed a ton of luck to beat the LT-less Chargers at home, but I'm down on the Saints. So this is an easy pick.
Niners over Lions, A new level of pain for Lions fans (if that's even possible) as their former backup QB leads a pretty bad team over their truely awful one.
Seahawks over Rams, The Seahawks are in trouble, but they can't be worse than the Rams..... Can they?
Ravens over Browns, two teams I've been down on, but FO loves one of them.
Colts over Jags, It's hard to run when your interior line is as decimated as either teams
Steelers over Eagles, Very good AFC vs Very good NFC, we know how that story has played out the last few years
Packers over Cowboys, I think the Cowboys have taken the Patriots place as the team I want to see lose the most. Lucky for me the Cowboys aren't nearly as good, so picking against them every time they play a good team is a winning strategy.
Chargers over Jets, The Chargers finally play a bad team and get into the win column

like those picks!
For the most part I couldn’t agree more. But, no matter how much I hate the cowboys, and I really do! I still think they’ll pip green bay. Espescially seeing I have green bay as my DST in fantasy this year, i’d love to back them to keep TO’s pissy little ass out of the end zone, but I can’t, instead i’ll back my Bucs to stuff the Bears as some minuscule revenge for them beating our boys on opening weekend. Too often, I let the hope that my fantasy players will deliver get in the way of how I call my spread bets, I really need to stop that! Saying that, I have westbrook and mcnabb for the eagles, so I gotta back them! (They are going to beat the steelers, aren’t they?…)

lions can score
Although I realize both SF and detroit are pathetic, as least kitna can put up points. I think that one is a toss up.. but I went with the lions.
I also would take green bay… They are a good team, and Aaron rogers has been doing well.

LOL!
I got news for you Shake, with Brady out, the Cowboys are much better than the Pats..actually they’re better than every team, including your Colts. Check out any power ranking out there, its just not a Cowboys homer saying it, anyone who isn’t a hater is saying it.
The only team that beat the Cowboys are the Cowboys.

I was refering to the Old Pats, with Brady
I always wanted to see them lose. Even a homer like you wouldn’t say the Cowboys now are better than the Brady led Pats of the last few years.

Oh, rest assured.
A homer like Terry would say anything. (And I have the meaningless stats to prove it.)
