2007 NFL Week 3
Sunday September 23, 2007
Arizona Cardinals at Baltimore Ravens
Eddie – RAVENS
Arizona may have upset the Hawks last week but won’t do that in Baltimore. The Ravens defense is just too good.
Fred – RAVENS
The Ravens defense shows up, shuts the run game down, and scores at least one defense TD. Ravens win, but it’s a close one.
Miami Dolphins at New York Jets
Eddie – JETS
Pennington comes out with something to prove and will only throw one interception to lead the J-E-T-S jets jets jets to victory.
Fred – JETS
Cam Cameron has completely jacked up the Miami offense. Even against a pathetic Jets defense, they won’t be able to put up enough points to beat the Jets at home. Jets win.
San Francisco 49ers at Pittsburgh Steelers
Eddie – STEELERS
Pittsburgh just looks too good on both the offense and defense side of the ball. The 49ers will give up too many big plays to keep this game competitive.
Fred – STEELERS
A battle of two 2-0 teams…except the Steelers have dominated their opponents (In two games total points for: 60, total points against: 10), while the Niners have barely won. At home, the Steelers continue their domination.
St. Louis Rams at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Eddie – RAMS
The RAMS need to look deep within them to pull out this victory. They have one of the most explosive offenses and one of the best running backs in Stephen Jackson. They can’t go 0-3.. right… right?
Fred – RAMS
In two home games, the Rams have not been able to get their entire offense going. And if they can’t do it at home, on the turf, it’s tough to believe they can do it away. Well, I do. They need a change of scenery. S-Jax and the rest of Rams offense finally gets rolling and gets the "W" in Tampa Bay. Upset Special…and pick #1!
Detroit Lions at Philadelphia Eagles
Eddie – EAGLES
Just imagine after this game the Lions could be 3-0 and the Eagles could be 0-3. Nah this season isn’t really happening. I must have fallen asleep in week 2 of the preseason and just haven’t woken up yet.
Fred –EAGLES
Is it possible for the Detroit Lions to be 3-0 and the Philadelphia Eagles to be 0-3. No way! Eagles show how they will be a playoff team this year and win this one.
Minnesota Vikings at Kansas City Chiefs
Eddie – CHIEFS
Kansas City gets the nod only because Arrowhead is still one of the toughest places to play in.
Fred – VIKINGS
Last week, Tavaris Jackson and Adrian Peterson had the worst game they’ll have this season…and the Vikings only lost by 3 in OT! Since it’s in Arrowhead, the Vikings will only win by a little. Upset Pick #2!
San Diego Chargers at Green Bay Packers
Eddie – CHARGERS
So we all know the Packers defense has been underrated this year and Favre is looking to have a fairy tale ending. This just hast to stop. LT – please show everyone why you are the best player in the NFL.
Fred – CHARGERS
Can a 14-2 team last year, and with the majority of the same players (but not coaches) start this year 1-2? LT is too good to have another mediocre week. He finally breaks out and the Chargers barely beat Green Bay in Lambeau.
Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots
Eddie – PATRIOTS
Dare I pick the Bills. I was dumb enough to pick the Chargers last week and we all saw what happened to them.
Fred – PATRIOTS
Bills desperately need a new Offensive Coordinator. Their best offensive player, Lee Evans, has less targets than Demetrius Williams on the Ravens and Arnez Battle on the Niners. Unless they fire him ASAP, this game is over in the 1st quarter. Patriots crush the Bills.
Indianapolis Colts at Houston Texans
Eddie – COLTS
Even if the Colts are the better team I’m going with the common theme with this week’s picks. The Texans can’t be 3-0 so by default the Colts will win.
Fred – COLTS
Houston’s hot, but with no Andre Johnson, they don’t have a chance. Indy goes 3-0.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Denver Broncos
Eddie – JAGUARS
Denver’s offense has been looking a little lethargic and their last two victories have been by a field goal. I think the Jags will keep it close and win it at the end – by a field goal.
Fred – BRONCOS
At home, against a team that barely beat Atlanta, the Broncos kill Jacksonville.
Cleveland Browns at Oakland Raiders
Eddie – RAIDERS
The Browns pulled a rabbit out of a hat last week. The squirrel found the nut and the sun shined on the dogs - well you get the idea.
Fred – RAIDERS
Before last week, I would have called Oakland winning this game without flinching. Oakland should still win this, but it will be an extremely close one.
Cincinnati Bengals at Seattle Seahawks
Eddie – BENGALS
It’s rare to see Seattle lose at home but I think the Bengals are the better team even when they are on the road.
Fred – BENGALS
As everyone knows, the Bengals defense got torched last week by the Browns. Marvin Lewis figures out how to get their minds right for this game, and they blow away the Seahawks. Upset pick #3!!!
Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons
Eddie – PANTHERS
Harring-is-done proves why the Falcons had to pick up the B.L. and the Panthers bounce back from a horrible loss to the Texans.
Fred – PANTHERS
Now that the Falcons have signed Leftwich, Joey knows his job is in jeopardy. It’s too bad, but he’s just not a good NFL QB. Panthers have their way with Atlanta and get the W.
New York Giants at Washington Redskins
Eddie – REDSKINS
I think the Skins are the real deal. The Giants are playing small.
Fred – REDSKINS
The Redskins can go 3-0? Yup. Their offense is getting better and their defense is good. The Giants defense is atrocious and even if their offense was the best in the league they still couldn’t win.
Dallas Cowboys at Chicago Bears
Eddie - COWBOYS
If the Cowboys can contain the Bears’ special teams they will control the game.
Fred – COWBOYS
The Dallas offense is running on all cylinders. The Bears defense will slow them down, but not enough to get the victory. Upset pick #4!
Monday September 24, 2007
Tennessee Titans at New Orleans Saints
Eddie – SAINTS
Monday night. It’s time to man up Saints. Put up or shut up. Get in or get out. The Titans are no joke. We could be seeing a 0-3 Saints. Wait – aren’t we used to that?
Fred – SAINTS
There’s no way the Saints can be this bad! They come home, their entire offense racks up the points/yards, and win their 1st game of the season.
Week 3 Survivor Pick - PATRIOTS
