Baltimore is my pick to take the North right now, but they aren't on the same level as NE or KC. Chiefs take them down. Falcons gut out another win. Green Bay continues to roll under Rodgers. Dallas murders the Dolphins so badly they put in the B Team five minutes into the game! Giants get their first win against the Bucs. Panthers get their first win against Arizona. Without Big Ben, the Steelers get shredded by the Niners. Without Brees, the Saints get shredded by the Seahawks. I will take Washington to squeak out their first win on Monday.

Here are my picks for Week 3’s games
Jaguars over Titans - I really don’t know what to expect from this game but I like what I’ve seen from Minshew and I have no confidence in Mariota and the Jags are at home so I’ll take them.
Bills over Bengals - Bills are playing well, I think Allen will have a good game and their defense will shut down the Bengals, Bills win convincingly.
Eagles over Lions - Eagles offense will be too much for the Lions to handle, they will be outmatched.
Patriots over Jets - Pats are playing great and are loaded on both sides of the ball while the Jets are decimated and lifeless, Pats win big.
Vikings over Raiders - Vikings strong, balanced offense will put up big numbers against a mediocre Raiders defense, Vikings win.
Chiefs over Ravens - Mahomes and the Chiefs offense will outscore the Ravens in a close game.
Falcons over Colts - Falcons will continue to improve and their offense is better than the Colts’ and they will get the win.
Packers over Broncos - Broncos are weak all around, Packers will steamroll them.
Cowboys over Dolphins - Cowboys are playing great while the Fins look awful, easy Cowboys win.
Buccaneers over Giants - The Giants defense looks terrible, Winston will have a big day against them.
Panthers over Cardinals - I was tempted to take the Cards here, but I’ll take the Panthers because I think McCaffrey will have a big game against the Cards defense and the Panthers will get a much needed win.
49ers over Steelers - The Niners are off to a good start and the Steelers are without Big Ben and haven’t looked good, Niners get the win.
Seahawks over Saints - Saints are without Brees against a strong Seahawks team and the Seahawks are great at home, Seahawks win easily.
Chargers over Texans - Tough pick, but I’ll take the Chargers as I think they are slightly better on both sides of the ball than the Texans and they are at home, they bounce back after a tough loss.
Rams over Browns - Browns haven’t been impressive at all while the Rams look like one of the NFL’s best teams once again, the Rams have too much talent for the Browns to handle.
Bears over Redskins - Bears strong defense will shut down the Skins mediocre offense and the Bears win in a low scoring game.

Tennessee @ Jacksonville - Minshew is starting to turn some heads. I think he outplays Mariota and the Jacksonville D steps up. JAGUARS take it on TNF.
Cincinnati @ Buffalo - Buffalo's defense is seriously legit this year. I go BILLS.
Detroit @ Philadelphia - Eagles should bounce back, in theory. The offense is still pretty banged up, however. I'm going for the LIONS in a shocker, sending the Philly radio airwaves into a frenzy.
NY Jets @ New England - Belichick says this is a problematic matchup. He has a very underrated sense of humor. PATRIOTS win obviously.
Oakland @ Minnesota - VIKINGS are too strong at home.
Baltimore @ Kansas City - Mahomes is just a special talent, and even without Tyreek Hill, he looks even better than last year, which is scary. I'll take the CHIEFS at home, although I might call it differently if this were in Baltimore, which is in itself a testament to the talent of this Ravens team.
Atlanta @ Indianapolis - Struggling with this one. I have Ryan and Ridley in fantasy, but I have a sneaky feeling they're going to have bad games against what I feel is a very underrated Colts defense. Indy can control the clock with the run game, while Atlanta's run game seems non-existent. I say the COLTS will frustrate the Falcons and grind out a win.
Denver @ Green Bay - Still waiting for Fangio to get this Broncos defense into shape. 0 sacks through 2 games is appalling. PACKERS win, but still end up looking like a relatively unimpressive 3-0 team.
Miami @ Dallas - The Dolphins are much like the Bills were at this time last year, where it seemed like the smart move was to pick against them every week. That ended when the Bills stunned the Vikings in Minnesota. The difference is that these Dolphins are absolutely purposely tanking, while Buffalo weren't. COWBOYS win and stay undefeated.
NY Giants @ Tampa Bay - I've been thinking about this one. I want to say that Jones will have a good debut. On the other hand, I was extremely impressed with the way Tampa managed to bottle up McCaffrey last week. I think they'll do the same to Saquon, which will seriously turn heads regarding this Todd Bowles-led defense. BUCCANEERS win at home.
Carolina @ Arizona - It really depends on Cam. Is he still hurt? He's had a longer rest to recover after playing TNF last week. I still think it's unlikely the Panthers lose 3 games in a row. Also, McCaffrey is definitely going to bounce back. It may be high scoring but I'm taking the PANTHERS to prevail.
Pittsburgh @ San Francisco - It's always tempting to simply pick against a team that just lost their starting QB. But the Steelers traditionally play badly on the West Coast and I think San Fran's good run will continue. Shanahan finally has a healthy roster to work with. 49ERS win.
New Orleans @ Seattle - Bridgewater didn't look too good last week, and playing in Seattle is always tough. SEAHAWKS win.
Houston @ LA Chargers - Tough game to call. Houston always seem on the very brink of disaster with Watson playing behind that offensive line. But the Chargers are plenty banged up too. I think the TEXANS win, and the Chargers start seriously panicking.
LA Rams @ Cleveland - Baker hasn't looked great to start the year. Odell Beckham will be LA's number one priority in the defensive gameplan. RAMS get the win.
Chicago @ Washington - Every year Jay Gruden grinds on and manages to get some pretty shitty, injured Redskins rosters playing competently. Chicago's offense continues to stink and the REDSKINS get their first win of the season.

Thursday September 19th 8:20pm EST Tennessee @ Jacksonville - Minshew is gonna porn stache all over them tittens.
Sunday September 22nd 1:00pm Cincinnati @ Buffalo - Taking the home team here.
Detroit @ Philadelphia - This is just a gut call. Wentz looked awful on Sunday night. Eagles don't seem to have a great secondary (I think they have injuries) and Stafford could hit a few big plays with Golladay to make a big enough difference. I feel dirty picking them I really do.
NY Jets @ New England - No brainer sadly.
Oakland @ Minnesota - Dalvin Cook combined with the defense at home should be enough.
Baltimore @ Kansas City - Gut call here. Baltimore D I think will effect Mahomes more so than the KC D effects Jackson. Should be a fun game to watch. Hopefully it's one of the ones I get.
Atlanta @ Indianapolis - First two weeks makes it seem like these teams could be relatively even. I'm going to go with the home town team this year. I think the Falcons could be a Jekyl & Hyde type team this year.
Denver @ Green Bay - Had a dream that the Broncos won like 31-14 last night. Fuck that shit. Broncos offense looks horrible and GB's defense has proven to be legit. Rodgers looked better than his final stat line showed against Minny with some drops. That said, GB offense still developing but can ride the defense and possibly Aaron Jones for the win. Rodgers doesn't need to be old school Rodgers to win games this year.
Miami @ Dallas - Dallas honestly looks like the best team in the NFC right now. I know it's early but fuck. Dak looks awesome. Plus....Miami.
4:05pm NY Giants @ Tampa Bay - Odd gut call here. I think Daniel Jones comes out the gate with a Win and gets the New York fan base excited and saying "Eli Who?" Also, I just can't trust Jameis even if he is facing a Giants defense.
Carolina @ Arizona - I think this will be a close game. Cam the first 2 weeks makes me nervous. He's not throwing the ball very well. I think he is leading the league so far in uncatchable throws or something like that. McCaffrey couldn't get it going in spite of this last week. I think Kyler and Larry Fitz make just enough plays to win this game. Think it could be close.
4:25pm Pittsburgh @ San Francisco - Idk what to think of Mason Rudolph. He looked good coming in last week but the 49ers have looked improved as well. I'll go with the home team against an unproven QB.
New Orleans @ Seattle - Seattle with the home field against a Saints team without Drew Brees. Simple choice here.
Houston @ LA Chargers - I'd be interested in watching this game as well. Chargers have key injuries that I think will lead to the Texans and Watson pulling this one out likely late.
8:20pm LA Rams @ Cleveland - I was hyped for this Browns team. I'm still not bailing but I don't think they look good enough yet to predict them to beat the defending NFC Champions.
Monday September 23rd 8:15pm Chicago @ Washington - Bears almost (and arguably should have) lost to the Broncos last week. Bears got gifted a rushing the passer call and managed to get the clutch field goal. However that offense looks like a train wreck atm. Washington I think has a decent enough defense and I think Adrian Peterson gets into the end zone again this week.

Thursday September 19th 8:20pm EST Tennessee @ Jacksonville This matchup is seriously ugly. Who would watch this crap game? Sunday September 22nd 1:00pm Cincinnati @ Buffalo Is Buffalo actually good? I say yes. It's nuts. Detroit @ Philadelphia I am picking Philly every week FYI. NY Jets @ New England Duh Oakland @ Minnesota I like Oakland and they are much improved, but the Vikings are too much for them. Baltimore @ Kansas City Game of the week. Toughest one to pick. Atlanta @ Indianapolis Denver @ Green BayMiami @ Dallas Does Dallas have the easiest schedule in the league right now or what? Redskins, Giants, and now Miami!! Of course they will be 3-0 and the annual Super Bowl talk will start. I want to wait and see them play an NFL team. 4:05pm NY Giants @ Tampa BayCarolina @ Arizona I can actually see the upset here, but I am picking Carolina. They should win or people are losing their jobs. 4:25pm Pittsburgh @ San FranciscoNew Orleans @ SeattleHouston @ LA Chargers8:20pm LA Rams @ Cleveland Monday September 23rd 8:15pm Chicago @ Washington
