NFL Week 3 Preview

Houston at New Orleans

Good game for the Texans to show they are for real.  Good game for the Saints to show they are going to be a tough team to contend with in the NFC.  I think I'll go with the Saints because the Colts need a Houston loss. It wouldn't surprise me if the Texans pull this one off though.  

NY Giants at Philadelphia
Giants got a good win last week on Monday night that was one of those they really won that game.  The Eagles lost a tough game to the Falcons, and even lost Michael Vick towards the end.  Will be healthy enough to play the full game, if so I'm going with the Eagles to take this one, and get a game up in the division.  The Eagles defense could pull them out of this game if Vick isn't there.  I haven't seen much of the Giants to give me any reason for them to take this game, so Eagles with the win.

Jacksonville at Carolina

Cam Newton over under 400 yards...again....for a third game.  I think the Panthers take this one because it seems like they are making strides toward becoming a better team.  Blaine Gabbert gets to start his time in Jacksonville, and we'll see what kind of quarterback he is.  Maybe he'll get the better of this duel this time. But I'm still going with the Panthers to get their first win of the season.

New England at Buffalo

Who would have thought both teams would be 2-0 going into this game, and some people, like myself, are giving Buffalo a chance?  I mean why not, until they really collapse in a game or show they can't be a good team, I'm going with the Bills in the upset.  Now we'll see where the rest of the season goes, but an upset of the Patriots for the Bills could go a long way.

Miami at Cleveland

 I'll go with Cleveland.  They got a good win last week against the Colts, and look to be moving in that right direction.

San Francisco at Cincinnati

Will anyone be watching this game??? I'll go with the Bengals.

Denver at Tennessee

The Titans got a great win last week against the Ravens, so I look for them to keep that going. I don't have much faith in the Broncos right now, so Titans with the win.

Detroit at Minnesota

Detroit will step up and take care of business against the Vikings. I think McNabb will have a tough time against this Lions defense, and wouldn't be surprised with another Lions rout.  They've been rolling through the first two games.

Baltimore at St. Louis

I feel bad for the Rams, tough loss to the Giants on Monday night,and now they have the Ravens coming in after a loss. I think the Ravens come out strong, and roll through the Rams.  St. Louis will still have to look for a win after this week.  

NY Jets at Oakland

The Jets made quick work of last week, and I don't see them having any problems with the Raiders, so Jets for the win.

Kansas City at San Diego

San Diego better win this game if they want to show they're a Super Bowl contender like I think they should be.  The Chiefs just look bad, and there's no reason the Chargers won't rout the Chiefs in this game.  Rivers should be able to throw at will and take the win.

Arizona at Seattle

........Cardinals for the win. No other thoughts on this one.  Sorry Arizona and Seattle fans.

Atlanta at Tampa Bay

I think the Falcons get the win, and keep their winning ways going.  They played a strong game last week, and I like them to win again.

Green Bay at Chicago

The long time rivalry of the Bears and Packers.  I like the Packers to take this game, and possibly win in a big time way.

Pittsburgh at Indianapolis

Ahh the Sunday night game, where who knows how many Steeler fans will be there.  They just travel so well, and with the way the Colts have looked, I hope the fans haven't given up their seats.  I'm going with the Colts in a big upset to get their first win in an ugly game.  The way Pittsburgh is up and down, they could have a bad game against the Colts. If the Colts can improve on how they were in the first half last week against the Browns, they should be all right in this game. I hope it's not quite the rout that some people are predicting.
