Week 3 NFL Picks

September 21st, 2005 by Rhoy Pamparo

Well, I didn’t get my 50% ratio but I got 2 more wins from this week which brings my scores to (W-L):

Week 1: 4-12
Week 2: 6-10

By the way, I like how my Eagles team trampled the Niners last week! Kudos to Mang Sonny for trying ;-)

Did anybody notice up and coming running backs, Williams & Parker? They are pretty good. But they haven’t faced a very good run-defense team. Parker will be tested this week. We will have to wait for Williams to prove himself.

‘Nuff talk, here are my picks for the 3rd week. C’mon 50%!

  • Atlanta at Buffalo
  • Tough choice right away. Especially both are lost their week 2 games. If Buffalo defense will hold Atlanta to less than 100 yards rushing, they have a chance. Although they had a hard time stopping Cadilac Williams last week. The Losman effect is already showing. I may regret this, but, I will go with Atlanta.

  • Carolina at Miami
  • Carolina is on a high right now after beating the Pats last week. Most people said that they avenged their superbowl lost to the Pats, I say the only way to avenge it is for them to beat the Pats in a Superbowl game. But that’s just me. Anyway, I’ll pick Carolina here.

  • Cincinnati at Chicago
  • Are the Bengals for real? Yes! Are the Bears for real? I don’t think so. So you guessed it: Bengals.

  • Cleveland at Indianapolis
  • Be realistic … Indy.

  • Jacksonville at N.Y. Jets
  • If Leftwich playing, they have a chance. Pennington played pretty good last week but they may have lost Martin for this week. Even so, I think the Jets have a better chance if both Leftwich & Martin are out. J-E-T-S!

  • New Orleans at Minnesota
  • Seems like the emotions are wearing out for the Saints player. The Vikes really misses Moss. Culpepper has to step up to show that he is the QB that he is with or without a star receiver. A hard choice. Until the Vikes win one, I would have to go against them. Saints.

  • Oakland at Philadelphia
  • Philly has a very good passing defense. Moss should not be a very huge factor as far as coverage is concerned. The running game might work for Oakland. If Trotter doesn’t do anything stupid this time, they may be able to stop that as well. Philly all the way!

  • Tampa Bay at Green Bay
  • I just hope that Favre does not get hurt on this game. The Bucs have won 2 with their defense & their running game. Has anyone heard where Ahman Green is? Unless he shows up for this game, it will be another long day for them. Bucs.

  • Tennessee at St. Louis
  • Superbowl rematch? Not at all. I think these are just teams trying to make it to the next year. But of course, I still have to pick. So I pick the Rams to win it (hopefully)

  • Arizona at Seattle
  • Arizona, bad late-game coaching. Seattle, can’t finish up a game. Tough to say, but I think Seattle will prevail.

  • Dallas at San Francisco
  • The Niners are a thing of the past. They are being punished for not letting Jerry Rice retire on a Niners jersey. The Cowboys almost had the Monday nighter if not for their late defensive collapse — which also cost me another win! Well, they better finish this game because I’m picking them again.

  • New England at Pittsburgh
  • The Pats have never lost twice in a row during their Superbowl runs. But that seems eternity past. Last week, Carolina had proven that the Pats are still human & can be beaten. Can the Steelers do the same? I’m not sure. They got a pretty quick running back & a pretty good QB. Their 2 wins came from 2 non-playoff team last year, though. I will go with the Pats. I think they already have Big Ben’s number … Pats by 7+

  • N.Y. Giants at San Diego
  • What happen to the Chargers? They lost 2 close games by an average of 3-points. Can they bounce back & win this time. They would have to get the ball to LT more often and should run 100+ yards. That should free up the middle for thier tight-end Gates. On the other hand, I have to say that Eli is getting comfortable in their offense. Maybe it’s just me, shouldn’t they blitz this guy more often to disrupt his rhythm. The Chargers will win this one and they will make Eli look like what he really is, a sophomore QB. Chargers let’s go!

  • Kansas City at Denver
  • Can the Chiefs go for 3-0? They may be able to. Can Denver win these game. Certainly. But who has more leverage? I think it’s KC. They will win this one by 7 points or less.
