NFL Week 3: Pickin on the NFL

Where's my F'in money?

Wow, my picks have sucked more than suck, sucks. Last week I had a somewhat decent week with my straight up (SU) picks going 10-6, but against the spread (ATS) I went 5-11. If I was laying real money on these games I would be forking piles of cash to a bookie, in fact said bookie would love me. I did nail my survivor lock of the week (SLOW) and my upset special (US). Here’s my year to date stats and week 3 picks.

SU 18-14 .56
ATS 9-22-1 .28
SLOW 2-0 (CHI, GBP)
US 2-0 (WAS, KCC)

CIN -3 @ CAR CIN 21 CAR 13

I’ve been burned by this rule before but I still believe in it, always bet against a rookie QB making his first start, especially when it’s Jimmy Clausen.

DAL @ HOU -2.5 DAL 27 HOU 23

I’m giving the nod to Dallas here because the Texans D is suspect so all that passing the Cowboys like to do may actually pay off. It won’t hurt my feelings if I’m wrong.

MIN -12 @ DET MIN 27 DET 16

If Brett Favre doesn’t get himself straightened out in this game…it’s over Johnny, over.

ATL @ NOS -3 NOS 24 ATL 20

The Saints have the Falcons number, which by the way I believe is 867-5309.

PIT -1 @ TBB PIT 17 TBB 13

I think the Steelers are starting Charlie Batch, I don’t care.

CLE @ BAL -10.5 BAL 27 CLE 14

How bad has Joe Flacco been this year? If he doesn’t straighten himself out today…

TEN @ NYG -2.5 TEN 21 NYG 20

I have no idea why I’m picking the Titans, I guess I like living on the edge.

BUF @ NEP -15.5 NEP 30 BUF 13

I’ve heard of a short list when looking for a head coach…how long is your list when you actually get to Chan Gailey?

SFF -3 @ KCC SFF 21 KCC 17

Wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to see the Chiefs win this game and start 3-0.

WAS -4.5 @ STL WAS 27-17 (SLOW)

I see Clinton Portis having a good game and the Redskins taking care of business.

PHI -2.5 @ JAC JAC 20 PHI 19

Anxious to see how Michael Vick plays in this game, if he stinks up the joint Andy Reid will have a mess to deal with. I love it!

SDC -5 @ SEA SDC 27- SEA 17

My dislike for Pete Carroll is on a New York Yankees type level.

OAK @ ARI -4.5 OAK 20 ARI 17

Bruce Gradowski and Derek Anderson are the starting QB’s in this game…

IND -5.5 @ DEN IND 24 DEN 20

Why do I not have any Colts on my 3 fantasy football teams = FAIL.

NYJ @ MIA -1 NYJ 20 MIA 17

Last weekend’s biggest surprise was the Jets victory over the Pats. Well, that and the Redskins blowing a 17 point lead.

GBP -3 @ CHI GBP 23 CHI 17

The Packers are the real deal Holyfield.

Cheers and Hail
