Week 3 NFL picks 
Posted on September 24, 2011 at 02:23 AM.
Patriots @ Bills:
Even though the Bills have started out fast, I still give the edge to NE. Tom Brady will be on his game again.

Pick- Patriots

49ers @ Bengals:
I like Andy Dalton being an underdog QB, but I think the 49ers win this one. The Bengals just aren't ready to compete yet.

Pick- 49ers

Dolphins @ Browns:
Even though the Browns look much improved, their passing attack still isn't up to par. Henne has played well and should have enough to give them their first win.

Pick- Dolphins

Broncos @ Titans:
CJ is going to bust out one of these games, don't be surprised if it's this week.

Pick- Titans

Lions @ Vikings:
I'm taking my team on this one because of one stat: the Vikings have won 13 straight games at home against the Lions.

Pick- Vikings

Texans @ Saints:
The Saints have been good, but so have the Texans. This could be a game of the week. Tough choice, but I think I have to take the Saints.

Pick- Saints

Giants @ Eagles:
Giants have looked rough their first two games, so no real reason to pick them. Vick has been good, but his injury could hurt him.

Pick- Eagles

Jaguars @ Panthers:
Cam Newton vs Blaine Gabbert. Future rivalry between the two QB's? Probably not this early. Newton can throw, Gabbert is learning more. Tough choice.

Pick- Jaguars

Jets @ Raiders:
Closer than you might think, but I like NY in this one.

Pick- Jets

Ravens @ Rams:
Rams have struggled, and with Jackson hurt it could be a long injury prone season for them.

Pick- Ravens

Chiefs @ Chargers:
Easy.

Pick- Chargers

Packers @ Bears:
Wow, great game. Watch this one.

Pick- Bears

Cardinals @ Seahawks:
Tough one because their both so bad.

Pick- Seahawks

Falcons @ Buccaneers:

Pick- Falcons

Steelers @ Colts:
No Peyton, no wins.

Pick- Steelers

Redskins @ Cowboys:
Rivalry MNF!

Pick- Redskins

# 1 Love The Lancer @ Sep 24
My picks would be quite a bit different.
Winners in my opinion would be:
Pats: Tom Brady plain and simple
49ers: much better team
Browns: on the uprise with a much better an stable team.
Broncos: very close game, I like hasselbeck but he don't have good enough receivers and britt will be shut down by champ Bailey.
Lions: love AP but with a average line and the lions up and coming D line I don't see it.
Texans: one of the hardest ones but Andre Johnson will have a huge game against a weak secondary.
Giants: over a Highly over hyped and overrated in my opinion, eagles team. giants will knock Vick outta game and even with him I see there running game killing eagles. Close score but g men hold time of possession over eagles to edge them out.
Jaguars: gabbert will out perform newton. Not in passing yards but in completion percentage and consistency. Both with good RBs but with newton having so many turnovers I think he may be the most over rated player in the NFL right now. Jags get it done.
Raiders: one of the few upsets I have but raiders are looking good. I like the jets D but the Offense is average. Raiders have a better offense but worse D. Close but raiders run it out.
Rams: another huge upset here. I don't feel as good about this one cause rams are kinda weak but I see Bradford doing a much better job then flaco even tho rams have below average secondary. Steven jacksons injury hurt but hoping there backup steps it up to get a hundred plus against a good d line.
Chargers: you said it. Easy one.
Packers: not much to say. Big rivalry. Packers playing too good for bears to stop.
Cardinals: at best the Seahawks have nothing but backup players for 90% of the team. And u can't win with a backup qb. Cards with a good receiver in Larry. A decent qb in kolb. And a star in the making (maybe) in Peterson. I don't see them losing to the sad sad Seahawks.
Falcons: a must win for them so they pull it off.
Steelers: I don't see it being a blow out. Colts have been terrible without Peyton and I think nows the time there other super stars step up. They play good even with Collins but just not enough. I'm rooting for them in this one tho.
Cowboys: if romo leaves game I see skins taking this one. Surprisingly Rex is doing good, only god knows how. But ware will be on him all game, and he'll start forcing passes and making mistakes like the old Rex. Cowboys take this one.
