Week 3 Picks
Cleveland +3.5 at N.Y. GiantsThis could have been the Shockey/ Winslow match-up everyone wanted. Instead it will just be Jeremy Shockey dropping more easy passes. I don’t think the Browns will offer up seven turnovers this week. Pick: Browns
Arizona +10.5 at AtlantaIs there any reason to bet on Arizona? Vick is playing lights out with the freedom of the West Coast Offense. Pick: Falcs
Philadelphia -4.5 at DetriotThis one worried me since Philly has to go on the road. Then I remembered they are playing the Lions. Joey Harrington is going to go hungry after the Eagles eat his lunch.Pick: Iggles
Pittsburgh +1.5 at MiamiMiami won’t be going anywhere with A.J. Feely taking the snaps. Rookie Ben Roethlisberger will get his chance to prove that Miami of Ohio is a legit school when he starts his first NFL game. Pick: Pittsburgh
Houston +8.5 at Kansas CityI am pretty sure I could rack up at least 100 yards against the K.C. defense. Too many injuries and no passing game are hurting the Chiefs “O.” What the heck.Pick: Houston
New Orleans +7.5 at St. LouisJoe Horn better call for some help on offense after Deuce McAllister went down last week. St. Louis has looked pretty awful the last two weeks. But at home they shouldpull it out. Pick: Rams
Jacksonville +6.5 at TennesseeJacksonville has the defense, but they can’t keep winning on seven points a game. Look for the Titans to rebound. Pick: Titans
Baltimore -3.5 at CincinnatiKyle Boller is a starting quarterback in the NFL. I keep waiting for Ashton to jump out and tell Kyle he’s been Punk’d. Pick: Cincy
Chicago +9.5 at MinnesotaThe Vikes are going to come out strong trying to rebound from the spanking the Eagles put on them last week. Really, it was a spanking. It was so much fun to watch.Pick: Minnesota
San Diego +10.5 at DenverI feel so bad for L.T. Really, he deserves better. Unless San Diego is playing the Denver practice, squad they don’t have much of a chance. Pick: Broncos
Green Bay +6 at IndianapolisIt was a big come-from-behind win last week for the Colts. Green Bay on the other hand…ummm lost to Rex Grossman and the Bears. Ouch. Pick: Pack
San Francisco +11.5 at SeattleMy editor James, who is a kind-hearted soul, loves the hapless Niners. With Ken Dorsey at quarterback I would only pick them to win the Orange Bowl. This one is foryou James. Pick: San Fran
Tampa Bay +3.5 at OaklandJon Gruden returns to the Black Hole. But he is bringing back a team that just isn’t ready to compete at a high enough level. Jerry Rice will catch about 20 balls.Pick: Raiders
Dallas at (off) WashingtonAs an Eagles fan I grew up cheering for two teams. Naturally, the Eagles and whomever is playing Dallas. Besides, Washington is a better team. Pick: Skins
