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 well! So let’s keep the momentum going!
Week 3 – HERE WE GO!!!!
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
16 – DALLAS over Miami – The Dolphins are so bad this year, the Patriots are hosting a lowly Jets team starting their 3rd string quarterback and they STILL can’t get above the Cowboys on our sheet!
15 – NEW ENGLAND over New York Jets – See above
14 – GREEN BAY over Denver – The Packers dominated the first half last week and the Broncos aren’t exactly the Vikings and will be able to come back.
13 – MINNESOTA over Oakland – Speaking of the Vikings, they’re pretty upset about last week and will look to take out their frustrations on the Raiders…and probably will.
12 – PHILADELPHIA over Detroit – See above, just change Vikings/Raiders to Eagles/Lions.
11 – BUFFALO over Cincinnati – Wait…the Bills are this high on the list…
10 –SAN FRANCISCO over Pittsburgh – …AND the 49ers are up here too?? Any given Sunday indeed!
9 – Tennessee over JACKSONVILLE – The week kicks off in Jacksonville Thursday with, um, this game. Man the Jags are looking rough.
8 – KANSAS CITY over Baltimore – Lamar Jackson has been on fire to start the season … against the Dolphins and Cardinals. The Chiefs are not the Dolphins or Cardinals.
7 – SEATTLE over New Orleans – Some are saying that the use of both Teddy Bridgewater and Taysom Hill will be enough to confuse the Seattle defense enough for the Saints to pull out a win here. However, neither of those names I just mentioned is Drew Brees…soooooooo….
6 – ARIZONA over Carolina – Easy to say that Cam being out makes us lose all confidence in the Panthers, but the way Newton has been playing, maybe this is a blessing in disguise.
5 – TAMPA BAY over New York Giants – The Daniel Jones era has begun…probably won’t start well, though.
4 – Atlanta over INDIANAPOLIS – Is it me, or does it seem like Julio Jones is starting to go the way of DeSean Jackson – by which I mean great game one week, horrible week the next. Julio needs a big game here to avoid that label.
3 – LOS ANGELES CHARGERS over Houston – The Chiefs and Ravens are getting all of the headlines, but don’t sleep on this game as a Game of the Week candidate.
2 – Los Angeles Rams over CLEVELAND – It’s hard to figure out what the Rams are doing with Todd Gurley, which is just the scenario they want opposing defenses to be in. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that TODD GURLEY WILL FINISH THE SEASON WITH OVER 1,750 TOTAL YARDS.
1 – Chicago over WASHINGTON – After a loss to the Packers and a horrible roughing the passer penalty away from a loss in Denver, the Bears NEED this Monday nigh win!
Please wait...
