Week 3 picks

Tough week last week - 5-11, bringing my season total to 5-12. Glad I'm not actually betting. Let's do week 3, quick style:

Colts -6.5 (over TEXANS) - No Andre Johnson, no way to keep up in a shoot-out.

PACKERS +6 (over Chargers) - I am really high on the Packers and really low on the Chargers. Give me six points at Lambo. (btw, I'm totally hedging this one, because I have Tomlinson on my fantasy team, and he's totally due).

Vikings +3 (over CHIEFS) - Who on the Chiefs is going to stop Adrian Peterson? I don't care that Tarvaris Jackson (finally got that name spelled correctly) is injured. The Vikings should just direct-snap to Peterson every time.

Lions +6 (over EAGLES) - Kitna is supposed to be recovered from his concussion in week 2. McNabb doesn't look completely healthy, Brian Westbrook is supposedly having knee trouble, and the Lions have an explosive offense that is bound to bring this game back within six points by games end.

Bills +17 (over PATRIOTS) - No way the Patriots go balls out and blow out another team, right? Both of their past two victories have been by 24 points. Even if their up by that much near the end of the game, one quick Bills touchdown will push.

JETS -3 (over Dolphins) - Jets feel like they've been playing under their heads thus far, and the Dolphins just suck. And Zach Thomas is out.

STEELERS -9 (over 49ers) - The niners have looked... average at best. The Steelers look great (#3 behind the two obvious teams). The Steelers are at home. Blow out. At least, I'm hoping that's what will happen to an NFC West foe.

Cardinals +8 (over RAVENS) - The Ravens haven't played well enough to justify getting 8 points, even at home. The Cardinals are explosive enough to keep the game within a touchdown.

RAMS +3.5 (over Buccaneers) - Seems that the Bucs have overachieved and the Rams have underachieved. The Rams can't possibly be as bad as they've played, right?

BRONCOS -3.5 (over Jaguars) - Broncos at home finally play up to their potential. Jaguars continue to play down.

SEAHAWKS -3 (over Bengals) - Homer pick that was confirmed after listening to an hour of Cincinnati sports radio. Apparently their defense is beyond horrible.

RAIDERS -3 (over Browns) - Let down week for the Browns. Raiders break through and win a game they're supposed to.

Panthers -4.5 (over FALCONS) - I can't possibly go with the Falcons. End of story.

REDSKINS -4 (over Giants) - I almost picked the Giants. Then I thought about how I'd feel tomorrow when the redskins are up 14-0 in the second quarter.

Cowboys +3 (over BEARS) - This is total wishful thinking. I so want the bears to be bad...

SAINTS -4 (over Titans) - 0-2 Saints will definitely come out firing.
