I was 10-6 last week. John was 7-9. Our records are 25-23 & 26-22 respectively.
I took the Redskins on Thursday. John took the Giants. Wow! Kirk Cousins sure made us forget about RG III huh?
Here are this weeks' picks:
1.) Miami Dolphins (1-2) in London (-4) vs. Oakland Raiders (0-3)
Too many points for the Dolphins.
PREDICTION: RAIDERS TO COVER
2.) Green Bay Packers (1-2) (-2) at Chicago Bears (2-1)
Neither Eddie Lacy or Matt Forte have played well this season, but for Forte it's because he hasn't featured. That is fixable and the difference.
PREDICTION: BEARS
3.) Houston Texans (2-1) at home (-3) vs. Buffalo Bills (2-1)
Which team is for real? I don't know. I'll go with the home team.
PREDICTION: TEXANS
4.) Indianapolis Colts (1-2) at home (-7.5) vs. Tennessee Titans (1-2)
Charlie Whitehurst is starting at QB for the Titans.
PREDICTION: COLTS
5.) Baltimore Ravens (-3.5) at home vs. Carolina Panthers (2-1)
Too many points.
PREDICTION: RAVENS
6.) Detroit Lions (2-1) (-2) at New York Jets (1-2)
Geno Smith at home vs. Detroit on the road. Jets secondary vs. Megatron. Hmmmm
PREDICTION: LIONS
7.) Pittsburgh Steelers (2-1) at home vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-3)
So easy to pick.
PREDICTION: STEELERS
8.) San Diego Chargers (2-1) at home (-13) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-3)
I like Blake Bortles but not in San Diego.
PREDICTION: CHARGERS
9.) San Francisco 49ers (1-2) at home (-4.5) vs. Philadelphia Eagles (3-0)
Nick Foles proved he is real. The 49ers need a win. Too many points.
PREDICTION: EAGLES
10.) Atlanta Falcons (2-1) (-3) at Minnesota Vikings (1-2)
Easy.
PREDICTION: FALCONS
11.) New Orleans Saints (1-2) (-3) at Dallas Cowboys (2-1)
Saints on the road?
PREDICTION: COWBOYS
12.) New England Patriots (2-1) (-3) at Kansas City Chiefs (1-2)
The Pats are not the same.
PREDICTION: CHIEFS

NFL PICKS WEEK THREE 2014
John 11-5 and I was 7-9 last week. That brings our season records to 19-13 & 16-17 respectively.
We both took the BUCS on Thursday getting (-6.5). Go figure.
1.) Buffalo Bills (2-0) at home (-2) vs. San Diego Chargers (1-1)
The Chargers are always within striking distance, but the loss of Ryan Mathews makes them a tough sell on the east coast,
PREDICTION: BILLS
2.) Dallas Cowboys (1-1) (-1.5) at St. Louis Rams (1-1)
The spread makes no sense.
PREDICTION: COWBOYS
3.) Philadelphia Eagles (2-0) at home (-6) vs. Washington Redskins (1-1)
The Redskins, unlike the Colts will pressure the QB, but it won't be enough.
PREDICTION: EAGLES
4.) Houston Texans (2-0) (EVEN) at New York Giants ((0-2)
Even??? Someone in Vegas is smoking crack.
5.) New Orleans Saints (0-2) at home (-10.5) vs. Minnesota Vikings (1-1)
The Vikings are fucked.
PREDICTION: SAINTS
6.) Cincinnati Bengals (2-0) at home (-7) vs. Tennessee Titans (1-1)
The Bengals not only do not lose at home, they dominate at home.
PREDICTION: BENGALS
7.) Baltimore Ravens (1-1) (-2.5) at Cleveland Browns (1-1)
The Browns defense is simply better.
PREDICTION: BROWNS
8.) Detroit Lions (1-1) at home (-2) vs. Green Bay Packers (1-1)
The Lions are better at home
PREDICTION: LIONS
9.) Indianapolis Colts (0-2) (-7.5) at Jacksonville Jaguars (0-2)
The Colts have serious issues, but not enough to keep them from beating the JAGS.
PREDICTION: COLTS
10.) New England Patriots (1-1) at home (-14) vs. Oakland Raiders (0-2)
Fourteen is a lot but it is the Raiders.
PREDICTION: PATRIOTS
11.) San Francisco 49ers (1-1) (-3) at Arizona (2-0)
Drew Stanton or not I just have a gut feeling.
PREDICTION: CARDINALS
12) Seattle Seahawks (1-1) at home (-4.5) vs. Denver Broncos (2-0)
Show me Denver
PREDICTION: SEAHAWKS
13.) Miami Dolphins (1-1) at home (-3.5) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (0-2)
I'm going with my gut.
PREDICTION: CHIEFS
14.) Carolina Panthers (2-0) at home (-3.5) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1)
The Steelers offense is no match for the Panthers defense.
PREDICTION: PANTHERS
15.) New York Jets (1-1) at home (-2.5) vs. Chicago Bears (1-1)
The Bears defense can't stop the run.

NFL PICKS, WEEK TWO 2014
John and I were both 8-8 last week. We both underestimated the Ravens on Thursday and took the Steelers.
Here are this weeks' picks:
1.) Carolina Panthers (1-0) at home (-2.5) vs. Detroit Lions (1-0)
Cam Newton is chomping at the bit and I'm not taking the Lions on the road.
PREDICTION: PANTHERS
2.) Buffalo Bills (1-0) at home (EVEN) vs. Miami Dolphins (1-)
Even is a good judgement. I'll take the home team.
PREDICTION: BILLS
3.) Washington Redskins (0-1) at home (-5.5) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-1)
The Jags are not a four quarter team.
PREDICTION: REDSKINS
4.) Tennessee Titans (1-0) at home (-3.5) vs. Dallas Cowboys (0-1)
Are the Cowboys as bad as they looked last week? I'm not so sure. But.....
PREDICTION: TITANS
5.) Arizona Cardinals (1-0) (-2.5) at New York Giants (0-1)
In prior years picking the GMEN was a no brainer, but the Giants are finding ways to lose.
PREDICTION: CARDINALS
6.) New England Patriots (0-1) (-6.5) at Minnesota Vikings (1-0)
No AP (WTF?) and the Pats are staring down an 0-2 start?
PREDICTION: PATRIOTS
7.) New Orleans Saints (0-1) (-6.5) at Cleveland Browns (0-1)
Too many points.
PREDICTION: BROWNS TO COVER
8.) Cincinnati Bengals (1-0) at home (-5.5) vs. Atlanta Falcons (1-0)
Too many points again.
PREDICTION: FALCONS TO COVER
9.) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-1) at home vs. St. Louis Rams (0-1)
I don't like the points but the Rams are destined for the first overall pick in next years' draft.
PREDICTION: BUCCANEERS
10.) Seattle Seahawks (1-0) (-6) at San Diego Chargers (0-1)
I'm tempted to take the Chargers to cover, but would feel too foolish.
PREDICTION: SEAHAWKS
11.) Houston Texans (1-0) (-3) at Oakland Raiders (0-1)
Until they show different I won't pick the Raiders.
PREDICTION: TEXANS
12.) Green Bay Packers (0-1) at home (-8) vs. New York Jets (1-0)
Again, too many points.
PREDICTION: JETS TO COVER
13.) Denver Broncos (1-0) at home (-12.5) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (0-1)
A lot of points for a historic division rivalry, but the Chiefs are in disarray.
PREDICTION: BRONCOS
14.) San Francisco 49ers (1-0) at home (-7) vs. Chicago Bears (0-1)
The Bears defense can't stop the run and you can't win if you can't stop the run and certainly not if you're in San Francisco.
PREDICTION: 49ERS
15.) Indianapolis Colts (0-1) at home vs, Philadelphia Eagles (1-0)
The Colts are just a better football team.
