Week 3 Picks

Well, well, well...here we are, all tied up after two weeks. Not too surprising as Bitch and I have had a $1 bet going on just about everything for the past 7 years (at least), and the total winnings are somewhere in the high single digits or low double digits. So, knowing that this weekend will likely be the same; a win or two on either side....here are my winning picks:

Sunday...Lions at Eagles, PICK: Eagles
I'm going to use some of my sneaky information on this one. I had breakfast the other day with a prominent ESPN analyst and he told me that he went over some film, and the Eagles team isn't as bad as their record indicates. Looking for a big win this weekend from a team I have no love for.


Cardinals at Ravens, PICK: Ravens
The Baltimore D is just too strong. Not sure who is going to be getting any points for the Ravens, but a field goal or two should be enough.

Colts at Texans, PICK: Colts
As much as the Texans are getting some hype about playing well....they're not playing THAT well that they can defeat the Super Bowl Champs. Sorry guys. Maybe in a few years.

Chargers at Packers, PICK: Chargers
Bitch is smoking something. Sure the Chargers aren't playing as well as they should. And sure the Pack are overperforming right now.....but come on: it's the Chargers versus the Packers. Maybe I've been drinking too much of the juice, but this won't be close.

Bills at Patriots, PICK: Patriots
No brainer. Pats. Can you believe that they got the Brady - Moss connection for a 4th round pick. Scary. Makes them not need the first rounder they lost for cheating.

Rams at Bucs, PICK: Rams
At some point the Rams and Steven Jackson are going to go OFF! They have too. They have too many weapons at their disposal. I know that Pace is out for the year, but wasn't he gone last year too? It's not like SJax is their only guy. They have weapons who should be able to step it up.

Dolphins at Jets, PICK: Jets
I agree with Bitch. This is also the game that I picked for my survivor pool. Chad Pennington should be good enough to get past the 'phins.

49ers at Steelers, PICK: Steelers
I have a friend that is going to this game, and she assured me that Big Ben looks good in tight pants. That has nothing to do with anything, but I like the Steelers.

Vikings at Chiefs, PICK: Vikings
Will I man-up. It has nothing to do with that. The Chiefs are a running team. The Vikes can, better than any other team in the league, STOP the run. The jury is still out on TJax, but if they can get a couple scores they should be good enough.

Browns at Raiders, PICK: Browns
Brady who???? Long live Derek Anderson. It's not that I like the Browns much more than last year....okay, maybe a little....but the Raiders are going with Josh McCown as their starter. They have the greatest QB of all time in Daunte...so why not use him?!?!?!? I curse them. For now.

Jaguars at Broncos, PICK: Broncos
Broncos at home. Sounds relatively safe to me.

Bengals at Seahawks, PICK: Seahawks
Tough matchup here...but I agree with Bitch. At home the 'hawks are just a hair better. Should be a good game for fantasy points.

Panthers at Falcons, PICK: Panthers
The Falcons could have come out of the gate like the Saints of last year. But they didn't. They came out of the gate like Bitch off the starting blocks. Slow and not very graceful. Look for Steve Smith and crew to light it up.

Giants at Redskins, PICK: Redskins
At home, I take the 'skins. Bitch has a mancrush on Jason Campbell....and from what I saw last week, make room for me.

Cowboys at Bears, PICK: Bears
WOW....this could be one of the most interesting matchups of the year. I HATE Rex, but the Bears D is pretty good. The Cowboys have been on FIRE with their attack. Great Offense versus Great Defense. I'll take the home team.

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Titans at Saints, PICK: Saints
This was a tough call here. The determining factor was that if I didn't take the Saints then we would have an even number of swing games. That being said, I was leaning towards taking the home team to finally show up. The Saints can't be this bad. Can they?

SEASON TO DATE... 20-12
