Predictions for Week 3

Alright Right, 13-3 on he year so far. Let's see how well I do with these selctions:




ATL at NE Winner: ATL



I know that New England has the home field advantage and should be mad from the bad beat from the Jets, however, that defense is what I thought it was, listless. It completely lacks passion and leadership. Atlanta;'s offense is going to gut them and the Atlanta defense will take advantage of a tentative Tom Brady and keep Atlanta off long enough to pull out the win. Expect a completely blow-out if Moss and welker don;t play.



SF at MIN Winner: MIN


The Williams Wall is still playing at a high level and that should be the differences in this game. Expect a defensive war of attrition between these two tough teams.



GB vs. STL Winner: GB



This Game shouldn;t be close. Green bay has been able to score at will in the past few weeks and the St. Louis Rams are deep in re-building mode. This should be a show-case for Green Bay offensive players.



KC vs. PHI Winner: PHI



This is a bit of  a toss up. Kansas City has been fighting, despite losing thier first two games. Philadelphia hasn;t been good without Donovan McNabb the past year or two. The talent of the Eagles has me picking them, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Chiefs won this game.



JAC at HOU Winner: HOU



While Jacksonville has tried to play hard in thier first two losses, Houston's passing game should abuse the pass-rush deprived Jaguars. Also, Steve Slaton had his breakout game against the Jags last year. Another blowout is expected.


TEN at NYJ Winner: NYJ



The Titans have played tough in thier first two games but have been unable to keep up with thier opponents. They'll be angry coming into the Meadowlands. However, the Jets defense with simply be too much for the Titans offense to overcome.



NO at BUF Winner: NO

I view this game as more of a toss up then anything else. The Saints offense has been amazing in thier first two games, however the defense has been mediocre at best, only contributing when they get turnovers. Despite that they are still averaging over 24 points given up each game. Should the solid defense of the Bills stop the passing game of the Saints, then the Bills should be able to take control. I still think the Saints will win this game but it will be closely contested.



NTG at TB Winner: NYG


The Buccaneers are re-building and they look like it. The Giants are the best team in the NFC, without question. Blowout.



WAS at DET Winner: WAS


The Redskins are tough. The Lions are still working thier way outta of the gutter. This game could be closer than most think, however, I think that Washington will win by at least two touchdowns.



CHI at SEA Winner: CHI


With Seneca Wallace at starting QB for the Seahawks, the Bears defense should have a field day with the Seahawks offense. Jay Cutler burns the worn out Seahawks D in the second half.



DEN at OAK Winner: OAK


Denver has been surprisingly good in thier first two games and Oakland has looked like a team that should be 2-0 right now. Inspite of the surprising run defense of the Broncos, I still think the Raiders are the better team and that they'll do just enough to win this game.





PIT at CIN Winner: PIT


Cincy is another team that should be 2-0 right now. Thier gritty defense and resurgent offense has put them back into the race in the AFC north. However, they play the Steelers today and those Steelers are angry after the heartbreaking loss to the Bears last week and I just don;t see the Bengals finding a way to get past Big Ben and his arsenal of tricks.



CLE at BAL Winner: BAL


Cleveland has looked pretty bad in thier first two games. Thier offense just hasn;t been able to get into a rythm and as such, the defense Is always worn out toqwards the end of the game when teams will pull away from them. Baltimore has looked excellent in thier first two games and I look for them to blow out the Browns.



MIA at SD Winner: MIA

With LT out for another game and the San Diego defense looking at best tentative, I look for the Chargers to blow another close game. I also think this is the game were the Dolphins defense starts applying consistent pressure on QBs.



IND at ARI Winner: IND

Two explosive offenses meet. Indy just seems to be more clutch to me than does Arizona. However, the Arizona defense has been more stout than has the Indy defense. In the end Peyton pulls another one out in a tight game.



CAR at DAL Winner: DAL

Carolina is looking like one of the worse teams in football right now. Dallas has incentive to be better after lsoing thier home opener and just has more talent. Watch DeMarcus Ware rack up 2-4 sacks in this game.
