NFL Week 3 Picks

Last week I didn't get my picks up on my blog in time but to inform my followers that I went . This week has some interesting games as well. The Falcons travel to New England, the Titans head up to the Jets, and San Fransisco heads into Minnesota for a possible NFC Championship preview.

Green Bay (1-1) vs St. Louis (0-2)
The Packers looked so dominate on defense in week 1 over the Bears and last week could not stop Cedric Benson of Cincinnati. Which defense shows up today is yet to be seen. If Steven Jackson gets the Rams going early the Packers may be in trouble against a dreadful Rams team. Also look for a lot of blitzes coming from Spagnuolo against a average offensive line. Green Bay holds on 24-16.

San Fransisco (2-0) vs Minnesota (2-0)
One of the biggest games of the day will be one of the more physical games as well. The Niners will not back down and will pound the ball and hope to ware out the Williams brothers with Frank Gore. Gore had a career game last week, but was a little banged up. Brett Favre may to put a little more effort into this game than just turning around and handing off the ball to Adrien Peterson. Should be a fun game to watch if you like defense and physical offensive lines. Do not expect a lot of points in this one. San Fransisco led by Coach Singletary 's attitude leave town with a victory, 20-13.

Atlanta (2-0) vs New England (1-1)
Matt Ryan returns to the northeast for a football game for the first time since he was a Golden Eagle of Boston College. Ryan has led the Falcons to a sizzling start out of the gates and looks well experienced beyond his years, almost like a young Tom Brady. Ryan will try to outscore the "Brady Bunch" that has looked anything but the 3 time Super Bowl Champions of previous years. Brady has struggled in his timing with the routes and his comfort level. I think the Pats will be fine, but this could be an interesting task for the defense of New England. I like New England in a shoot out. Patriots 34-28.

Tennessee (0-2) vs New York Jets (2-0)
The Titans were the best team for much of last season and have looked far from that this season thus far. "Broadway Joe"who?? That is what Mark Sanchez is trying to do and just might do that. Not really, it is only his third game at the helm in the NFL but Sanchez looks like Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco of last season. I like the defense the best of New York with the arrival of Rex Ryan and his boys from Baltimore. I like the Titans to win their first game of the year as they go into NY and beat the GQ Sanchez. Score reads at triple zero, 21-17.

Kansas City (0-2) vs Philadelphia (1-1)
No McNabb, and Michael Vick is back in the NFL. If it was not for playing the Chiefs I would have to go for the upset. However, DeSean Jackson has a big game and Vick shows some life and the Eagles roll but the Chiefs make it interesting in the end. Eagles winner winner Philly Cheese Steak dinner, 27-21.

New York Giants (2-0) vs Tampa Bay (0-2)
Eli did it again last week against the Cowboys in the fourth quarter and now he has the Buccaneers to deal with. Do I smell a let down? I think not. Closer than most expect here but the Giants win with their physical play at the line of scrimmage. Bucs fall to 0-3 as Eli wins again 27-20.

Cleveland (0-2) vs Baltimore (2-0)
The best team in the league thus far?? The Ravens have my vote and would agree because of the play of "Joe Cool." Flacco has displayed a numerous amount of skills and looks to take a giant step forward. Flacco vs Ryan in the Super Bowl?? Wouldn't that be nice. Ravens roll the Browns who cannot figure it out. 38-13.

Jacksonville (0-2) vs Houston (1-1)
The Texans have a great shot today and move to 2-1 on the season. The Jags will play tough and competitive against AFC South rival, but Houston has too much fire power on offense. Andre Johnson will put up 100 yards in receiving and a touchdown. Texans win Texas style, 31-17.

Washington (1-1) vs Detroit (0-2)
This is the week boys and girls. The Lions get off the streak and get the victory. The Redskins haven't put up any offense this season and the Lions have the young arm in Stafford and the Freak at wide out, Calvin Johnson. Lions win, finally, 24-16.

Chicago (1-1) vs Seattle (1-1)
Seneca Wallace starts and the Bears come in off a big win. Seattle is a tough place to play, but Jay Cutler could care less. I like the Seahawks at home because of a let down and the crowd noise at home. Seahawks win 23-17.

New Orleans (2-0) vs Buffalo (1-1)
Drew Brees continues his MVP numbers and tries to keep pace for an All Time record for touchdowns as well. I like the Saints in Buffalo to knock off Terrell Owens and the Bills, 27-19.

Pittsburgh (1-1) vs Cincinnati (1-1)
Intriguing game in the AFC North. I have not liked how the Steelers have played in 2009, and the Bengals look like they have turned a corner away from their dismal off the field behavior. The Bengals a miracle play away from 2-0 move to 2-1 with a big time upset at home. Cincinnati 24-20.

Miami (0-2) vs San Diego (1-1)
The Dolphins could not win Monday Night even though they had the ball for 45 minutes. Phillip Rivers will get a little more time with the football but the result for the Dolphins will be the same. Lightning Bolts win 31-23.

Denver (2-0) vs Oakland (1-1)
The least talked about unbeaten team in the league and for a good reason as they have not looked impressive. They have shown some good defense but on the offensive end they have work to do. I like the Raiders at home and a much more physical team with Seymour. Raiders win 16-15.

Indianapolis (2-0) vs Arizona (1-1)
Peyton again Monday Night put on a clinic of how to come from behind. In four completions he led the Colts into the end zone for the game winning score. Manning against Warner, will be a shoot out in the desert as Reggie Wayne and Larry Fitzgerald each get into the act and the end zone. Colts come into town and move to 3-0. 34-30 Peyton does it again.

Carolina (0-2) vs Dallas (1-1)
The Panthers need this one badly. They should stick with Williams and Stewart on the ground game and blitz and cause pressure and confusion on Tony Romo. The Cowboys will come out aggressive to get on top as Jerry Jones does not want to go 0-2 in his new palace. I like the Panthers to come out and play hard and lose however, Cowboys protect their house with a 27-20 victory.
