Things are starting to take shape.
Teams are starting to show who they are and thoughts of just being a “fluke win” or a “fluke loss” are flying out the window. Now that we have seen a few games, we have a pretty good idea what the league really looks like for this season.
Plus, if you have been following these picks for your pool, you’re doing pretty good! So let’s keep the momentum going!
Week 3 – HERE WE GO!!!!
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
16 – MINNESOTA over Buffalo – I’m setting the line for this game at 2.5 for this game…not for how much the Vikings will win by, but for how many points will score … I’ll take the under.
15 – JACKSONVILLE over Tennessee – I’m setting the line for…oh wait, already did that one. Titans won’t score much if any, that’s what I’m getting at here as well.
14 – BALTIMORE over Denver – I’m setting…yeah, you get it!
13 – PHILADELPHIA over Indianapolis – Hey, thanks for the whole Super Bowl thing, Nick. Carson’s back now so, I don’t know, maybe we’ll send you to Miami or something.
12 – KANSAS CITY over San Francisco – Can’t say that too many expected Patrick Mahomes to get off to such an historic start. Looks like the Chiefs will still have their AFC West stranglehold held tight.
11 – HOUSTON over New York Giants – DeShaun Watson made a statement last week – one that the Giants won’t be able to contain this week.
10 – ATLANTA over New Orleans – The Saints brought out the Fitzmagic to the world…then almost lost to the Browns. It looks like it may be a hard season in the Big Easy.
9 – TAMPA BAY over Pittsburgh – Speaking of the MVP front-runner, this is the final chance for Ryan Fitzpatrick to show the Bucs that Jameis should stay on the bench after his suspension is up. After giving up to Patrick Mahomes, it seems like Fitzmagic will run longer than we thought a month ago.
8 – Chicago over ARIZONA – It was a primetime matchup between these two teams where Dennis Green let us know that the Bears are who we THOUGHT they were. Between the Bears D and the Cardinals offense so far, we should see more of the defensive dominance that we saw that night.
7 – New England over DETROIT – Patriots lose a game…Patriots add Josh Gordon. Don’t make Tom and Bill mad!
6 – MIAMI over Oakland – Jon Gruden told reporter this week that “a good pass-rusher is hard to find.” … … … so will wins this year apparently.
5 – CAROLINA over Cincinnati – This could be the low-key game of the week candidate. I think Cam and the Panthers will be a little too much for the Bengals to take.
4 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over Los Angeles Chargers – So what LA matchup do you think the locals are more interested in – Rams/Chargers or USC/UCLA?
3 – Green Bay over WASHINGTON – This game would be a lot higher on the list if I had more confidence in the durability of Aaron Rodgers’ knee.
2 – SEATTLE over Dallas – This once-potential NFC Championship Game is now nothing more than a game the Seahawks win because they are the home team.
1 – CLEVELAND over New York Jets – For over two years, it doesn’t get any bolder than this. My BOLD PREDICITON for this week is that THE BROWNS WILL WIN THIS WEEK!
Please wait...
