Week 3 NFL Picks - REBOUND WEEK

Well, last week was an unmitigated disaster, as far as picks go. I would have been better off just printing out the NFL schedule for week two and throwing darts at it. Blindfolded. Facing the other way. Now I know how Cersei Lannister must have felt during her naked stroll to the Red Keep.















She saw my week two picks

But alas, hope springs eternal, as I attempt to move on from last week's disgrace. I GUARANTEE that this week's picks will be much better!*

*seriously, did you learn nothing from last week? Don't take my guarantee at face value. I know nothing, Jon Snow.

Thursday 9/24

Washington at New York Giants

I picked the Giants to win this one, and I'm glad they FINALLY proved me right. No way they could afford to lose that game, and they didn't.

I had:

Giants 27
Redskins 17

Sunday 9/27

Atlanta at Dallas

Maybe Jason Garrett can dust off his uniform and save the day for the Cowboys. What's that? They signed Matt Cassel? ALL OF THEIR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED! (I know I said prayers, but go away Tim Tebow, I said MATT CASSEL).

But in all honesty, I have no idea who to pick in this game. Dallas?

Cowboys 24
Falcons 21

Indianapolis at Tennessee

HUGE AFC SOUTH MATCHUP. Nah, just kidding, who cares. The Colts suck, but man, they sure are lucky they play in that garbage division. I'll take them to win, only because if they go 0-3, there won't be enough drugs in the world to placate Jim Irsay.

Colts 20
Titans 17


Oakland and Cleveland

Another confusing week three matchup. Oakland had a nice win, but I secretly suspect that maybe the Ravens just aren't that good? I don't know. I'll take the Browns at home, I guess, although I hate this pick.

Browns 27
Raiders 24

Cincinnati at Baltimore

UGH another tossup. I guess I like the Bengals in this one, because it's still the regular season (HOT TAKE ALERT), but I also can't imagine the Ravens going 0-3. But, what the hell.

Bengals 27
Ravens 20

Jacksonville at New England

Jacksonville is no longer terrible, but the Patriots are still the lying, cheating, no-good, down-and-dirty, thieving, scumbags that they've always been. I like the Pats at home.

Patriots 33
Jacksonville 24

New Orleans at Carolina

Where's Bobby Hebert when you need him?

Panthers 30
Saints 13

Philadelphia at New York Jets

GAHHHHH I hate picking the Jets' games. They've never beaten the Eagles, but I'm pretty sure they have the better team this year. However, the Eagles are desperate for a win because, you know, they've been terrible so far. Screw it, I'm picking the Jets because I think they legitimately have a chance of killing Sam Bradford today. YOLO.

Jets 24
Eagles 20

Tampa Bay at Houston

Can I pass? Lifeline? No? Shit.

Buccaneers 20
Texans 17

San Diego at Minnesota

Sure, let's take San Diego why not.

Chargers 24
Vikings 17

Pittsburgh at St. Louis

This is a rematch of...some Super Bowl from the 1970s, I don't know. Too lazy to look it up.



This one

But I'll take the same outcome here, after the Rams looked terrible against the Redskins last week.

Steelers 30
Rams 20

San Francisco at Arizona

Cardinals, right? Right.

Cardinals 24
49ers 17

Buffalo at Miami

I think I like the Bills in this one, if only because their defense is legitimately good and I'm still liking that new Rex Ryan smell that is lingering within the franchise. The Dolphins...well, what can I say about the Dolphins. Beat the 'Skins, lose to the Jaguars. I really don't know what to make of them.

Bills 20
Dolphins 14

Chicago at Seattle

Chicago is the worst. Russell Wilson and co. HAVE to get off the schneid this week, right?

Seahawks 37
Bears 13

Denver at Detroit

It's only week three, so Old Man Peyton can still sling it around this week. Plus, he's indoors, where he always has super powers. I'll take the Broncos on the road.

Broncos 28
Lions 24

Monday 9/28

Kansas City at Green Bay

Super Bowl 1 rematch! (No one cares, Broll).

Same result. The Packers will roll.

Packers 31
Chiefs 21

Last week: 5-11 (oof)
Season: 15-17
