I’m taking a break from the re-design of this website (which should be done in the next day or so). Ok folks, here’s how I’ve done so far!

Okay, the real reason my posts are so slow is because I’m working on a re-design for this website. I know I should try to get a few more posts up, but come next week, this won’t be an issue. I’ve missed discussing the Tigers woes, my opinion on Rich Rodriguez and my Wolverines, and the decline of the overrated Ohio State Buckeyes. Have no fear my fellow readers…

I (and my commentary) will soon be back with all the sarcastic wit an snarkiness you love to hate.

That being said, I was disappointed with my:

Week One NFL Football Picks where I went 5-11
Week Two was better when I went 7-8

Now, on to my week three picks. I hope you enjoy them and please feel free to post your own picks in my comment section! I’m looking to award a gift of some sort to the person who posts the most accurate picks this NFL season, so to win that prize, get posting!

Carolina vs. Minnesota

Winner: Carolina

While Carolina almost didn’t make it last week, I’m sticking with em!

Kansas City vs. Atlanta

I’m betting my money at Atlanta. The Chiefs suck and Atlanta has seen some success with their QB pick, Matt Ryan.

Winner: Atlanta

Oakland vs. Buffalo

I underestimated both Buffalo and Oakland last week. Buffalo beat a semi-decent team while Oakland took on another sucky team. Guess who wins?

Winner: Buffalo

Tampa Bay vs. Chicago

Tough pick considering both seem to be mediocre teams.

Winner: Chicago

Houston vs. Tennessee

Though I don’t like either teams, this one is a no-brainer.

Winner: Tennessee

Cincinnati vs. NY Giants

I’d love for the Bengals to prove me wrong, but I’m going with the “smart” choice.

Winner: NY Giants

Miami vs. New England

The Patriots managed to hang on for just long enough to win without Tom Brady the last game, but their luck will run out when they face the Chads.

Winner: Miami

I know I’m almost a day late and a dollar short, but the games haven’t begun yet. I had a busy week. I apologize and promise to start posting with more frequency soon. I’m working on an overhaul for this site, so expect many new things cropping up in the next few weeks.

That being said, let’s get to my picks!

Note: I don’t have much time to write about each team. Just know I haven’t underestimated those teams that made something of themselves last week.

Sunday, Sep 14

Tennessee vs Cincinnati

Winner: Cincinnati

Buffalo vs Jacksonville

Winner: Jacksonville

Oakland vs Kansas City

Winner: Kansas City

Indianapolis vs Minnesota

Winner: Indianapolis

It’s about that time for the NFL regular season to begin. In fact, it begins tomorrow. As always, I’m here to present my picks for this week. Feel free to leave your picks, as well

Thursday, Sep 4

Washington vs. NY Giants

This is an interesting one. I like Mario Manningham. He played for the Wolverines, but he’s been out and Manning has suffered for it. Manning has a lot to prove, and Washington went 3-5 in the pre-season. If Eli’s backup is still out, which they might just be, Washington has this one nailed.

Winner: Washington

Sunday, Sep 7

Cincinnati vs Baltimore

Winner: If Troy Smith is starting or if Troy Smith isn’t starting Baltimore is still going to lose. The former nut (OSU Buckeye) isn’t having as much success at starting in the NFL as his former Wolverine opponent, Miami Dolphin’s Chad Henne. So, I wonder what Troy’s busy doing with that Heisman? Maybe he’s using it as a paperweight!

Winner: Cincinnati

NY Jets vs Miami

With the improved offensive players, (Chad and Jake have great chemistry and play great together) including two solid Chads in the QB position I’m thinking Miami just might win this week! Here’s hoping after their hard work during the pre-season it can pay off during the reg. season.

Winner: Miami

Kansas City vs New England

I think that Tom Brady is going to be back. It’s crappy that Tom’s the only one who can make the plays, but thems the breaks. If he’s in its a Patriots win.

Winner: New England

Houston vs Pittsburgh

This is a tough one considering Pittsburgh actually lost to Buffalo in the pre-season. Otherwise, they seem to be doing okay and Houston is just doing so-so so far.

Winner: Pittsburgh

Jacksonville vs Tennessee

With Collier out fighting for his life, the Jags are either gonna be on the ball, playing for him with conviction or will be totally distracted. This is pure emotion on my part, but I’m giving it to them.
