I am not even sure if this is Okay, but here are my published picks (I hope I do not get in trouble)
NFL Picks Week Three
Browns Vs Ravens Ravens
The Ravens were not the team we expected last week. Delhomme looks to be very questionable for the Browns in favor of the higher rated Wallace. I have to believe we will see the Ravens of week 1 back on the field to take the win. 21-17
Bengals Vs Panthers Bengals
The Panthers well, Denard Robinson is within yards of out rushing and passing the entire team with two game total yardage compared to D’Rob in just one of his three outings. 17-10
Cowboys Vs Texans Texans
Schaub and Foster are a winning combination in Houston. The Texans defense needs to step up a bit for all four quarters. The Cowboys are in some sort of funk and it does not look like the week they will step out of the fog. 24-17
49ers Vs Chiefs Chiefs
How Bout that Stadium! The fans will need to be loud and proud to help their team to victory. Neither team is an offensive powerhouse and the key will be in turnovers. I’m giving this to the Chiefs with the 49ers heading home with a ringing in their ears, clicking their cleats together saying there’s no place like Kansas City. 20-14
Lions Vs Vikings Vikings
I really wanted to pick the Lions. They had a great week against the Eagles. They had a “should have won” against the Bears. Brett looks tired and unskilled, but the Viking defense is holding the team together. Hill has done a great job stepping up for the injured Stafford. Favre and Hill have to stop the turnovers and start moving the team. The nod goes to the Vikes, on the legs of Peterson. 28-24
Bills Vs Patriots Patriots
Fitzpatrick is slated to start for the Bills and he has been known for passing out interceptions, lets just hope they are passed the Pats way. The Patriots defense was not the same as on week 1 and I am hoping for a return of that kind of play. 27- 10
Falcons Vs Saints Saints
The World Champion Saints are a team that is always in the right place at the right time. The team is quick to react to most any situation. The same goes for the Falcons as well. I went back an forth on this pick and in the end its hard to stop the Saints when they are marching at home. 17- 13
Titans Vs Giants Giants
This is a toss-up; both teams are come off losing weeks. Eli will be looking to avenge his loss to big brother last week. Which, should give the Giants the edge they need to win. 24 - 20
Steelers Vs Bucs Steelers
The Bucs have looked great this season, but the Steelers have been able to defeat more worthy adversaries. The offense is not there for the Steelers, although their defense is as always present and formidable. 17- 16
Eagles Vs Jaguars Eagles
Can and Eagle give a Cat a break? In this case me not the Jaguars, they are making predictions tough. Vick is in Vick is out Kolb is on Kolb is out. With the news that Vick is back at the helm the Eagles get the nod. 28- 13
Redskins Vs Rams Redskins
This pick does not really need a lot of explanation. McNabb was unhappy with last weeks overtime loss to the Texans and the Rams will take the heat. 28 - 16
Raiders Vs Cards Raiders
So much for my theory on the Cards gelling last week more like turning into jelly. The Raiders in this match up are the slightly better of the two lesser teams. 17 - 13
Colts Vs Broncos Colts
The Broncos look great. Orton is shaping into a first class QB and they are playing very well. The caveat is Peyton playing in the confident and team-leading manner he showed last week. No team can best the Colts when Manning is on fire. 34-28
Chargers Vs Hawks Chargers
This is a tough call. The Seahawks had an amazing first week and the Chargers an amazing second week. Rivers is back in the saddle and looking to put the Arrowhead Rain Bowl far behind them. 24 17
Jets Vs Dolphins Jets
I hate this pick. Please Dolphins prove me wrong. The two teams are pretty evenly matched, but the Jets are so full of themselves right now it is hard to beat a team that actually thinks they are infallible. 23- 20
Packers Vs Bears Packers
The passing defense of the Pack should put a dent in a pretty great start for Cutler. The Pack led by Rogers will hold on and take this win from the very improved Bears. 17-13
I am right 97% of the time, who cares about the other 4%
