NFL Picks- Week 3

Welcome back to the show. The picks have gone pretty well so far...4-1 the first week, 1-0 last week. 2 for 2 on the upset Perfictions on the year. So don't be left out in the cold. Take these picks to Vegas and make some money! Let's delve into week 3, home teams are in bold.

1. Packers (-6.5) over Rams
Last week's loss to the Bengals really pissed off Aaron Rodgers & Co. They will go in angry and not let up against the hapless Rams.

2. Falcons (+4.5) over Patriots
4 and a half is quite a few points for a real hot Atlanta team. The Patriots are getting some love because they are at home, but their questionable health and questionable performance of Tom Brady could spell an upset for the birds.

3. Buccaneers (+6.5) over Giants
I think the Giants will escape this one with a win, but Tampa will keep it close. They are feeling their season slip away already, and nobody is giving them a chance at home. But the Giants injury report reads like a novel, particularly in the secondary.

4. Jets (-2) over Titans
I really wish the Titans won last week. Then they probably wouldn't come into the Meadowlands so desperate and rabid. But I think the Jets have heard enough talk of a letdown to prevent it from happening. I don't believe in Kerry Collins when the game is on the line.

Upset Perfiction of the Week
5. Dolphins (+5.5) over Chargers
Ok, yes I fudged up the Dolphins pick on Monday night. Did I really, though?? They had the ball 3/4 of the game, had the lead late, and Ted Ginn clearly had money on the Colts in dropping that touchdown at the end. I picked the Chargers to be in the Super Bowl, but 5.5 is a lot of points for a team coming off a demoralizing loss and facing the almighty Chad Pennington. Miami takes it.

Enjoy the games, everyone!
