• Time for Week 3's pickkks.

Arizona @ Baltimore (7.5)

The only reason I’m going with this is because the Cards coach is the former Steelers offensive coordinator and I’m hoping that he’s able to keep it somewhat close. Then again, I remember what happened last year when the Steelers played the Ravens. Oh, shit.

Buffalo @ New England (15.5)

Here’s hoping the Pats have a “fall-off” game to a divisional rival after clearing away the Chargers.

Detroit @ Philadelphia (6.5)

I just don’t see the Eagles going 0-3.

(6.5) Indianapolis @ Houston

I heard that one receiver for Houston is out.

Miami @ N.Y. Jets (3.5)

I’ll go with the Dolphins defense in this one. Does Miami even have a good defense. I have no clue. Then why did I just say that?

Minnesota @ Kansas City (2.5)

Young QB. At Kansas City. There’s going to be lots of runs.

(4.5) San Diego @ Green Bay

This should be interesting. I’m not convinced Green Bay is a playoff-caliber team … yet.

San Francisco @ Pittsburgh (9.5)

That spread just seems too big. I think the Steelers will win, but by single digits.

St. Louis @ Tampa Bay (3.5)

I’m not sure about this one, but I want to see St. Louis crash and burn because too many people were picking them to be a playoff team in the preseason.

Cincinnati @ Seattle (3.5)

The Bungles’ defense can’t get much worse than it was last week’s effort – could it?

Cleveland @ Oakland (3.5)

I’m hoping for the Browns to experience a “fallout” effect from last week’s win. That’s the only reason I’m picking Oakland with the points.

Jacksonville @ Denver (3.5)

Here’s hoping the Jacksonville running game has a good day.

(4.5) Carolina @ Atlanta

I’ve been burned on the Panthers a few times this year already. Perhaps this is their year to win the South, again.

N.Y. Giants @ Washington (4.5)

I’ll tell you what. I have no idea who that Redskins QB is, but I was impressed by him Monday night.

Dallas @ Chicago (3.5)

Both defenses are good, so I’m going with the better offense.

Tennessee @ New Orleans (4.5)

The Saints have stunk it up the first two games, but what about the home opener? Well, they could always win by 3.
