Oh this is going to be a fun week!
To clarify, this will be a “fun” week.
This is the kind of week where it looks like there are a decent amount of sure-fire picks…but you know we’ll see at least one upset. It’s football, we always do. All because some jerk once coined the phrase “Any Given Sunday.”
We’re not worried about that here though so let’s get some confidence!
Week 3 – HERE WE GO!!!!
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
16 – JACKSONVILLE over Houston – (embracing my inner-Billy Madison) I put the Jags on the 16 because I’ve never seen the Jags on the 16 and wanted to see the Jags on the 16,
15 – KANSAS CITY over Chicago – What in the holy hell is going on at Halas Hall???
14 – MIAMI over Denver – I trusted the Broncos last week…not making that mistake again anytime soon
13 – SAN FRANCISCO over New York Giants – No Saquon = no win…that simple
12 – SEATLLE over Carolina – Something clicked for the Seahawks last week and the Panthers don’t have what it takes to…um…unclick it…yeah that works
11 – Dallas over ARIZONA – The Cardinals have looked surprisingly competent running the NFC East Gauntlet so far…that comes to an abrupt stop this week
10 – BALTIMORE over Indianapolis – Anthony Richardson is looking impressive early in his career…just can’t find a way to stay in the game long enough for a win
9 – LAS VEGAS over Pittsburgh – The Steelers won’t be able to score multiple defensive TDs every week
8 – DETROIT over Atlanta – Who knew this time last year that this would be an intriguing, and probably fun, game to watch??
7 – CLEVELAND over Tennessee – As intriguing as that last game should be, that’s how boring this one should be
6 – MINNESOTA over Los Angeles Chargers – An 0-2 Kirk Cousins will be mad…you won’t like him when he’s mad! My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that KIRK COUSINS WILL THROW FOR OVER 400 YARDS.
5 – GREEN BAY over New Orleans – The atmosphere of a Packers home opener will be too much for the Saints to handle
4 – CINCINNATI over Los Angeles Rams – All faith in the Bengals this year will be lost if they lose this one
3 – Buffalo over WASHINGTON – I don’t have nearly as much confidence on this one as I probably should
2 – NEW YORK JETS over New England – This is your weekly “Team X will win because they’re the home team”
1 – TAMPA BAY over Philadelphia – Hunch…pure hunch…hunches like this belong on the one point line
