Lou's Week 3 Pro Picks

After a 93% accuracy rate on picking winners last year, I’m ready to prove my past performance wasn’t just a fluke.

Power Picks
These 3 teams have tough opponents this week, but will do what it takes to win.

San Diego over Miami – the Bolts have too many weapons to lose this game in spite of their spontaneous injury outbreak. Miami’s secondary is struggling (the Phins have yet to grab an interception) and they’ll have to rely on more than Ronnie and Ricky to keep up offensively.

Pittsburgh over Cincinnati – The Steelers have historically crushed their division rivals, I see Cinci laboring against a Pittsburgh defense ranked 8th against the run and 19th against the pass.

Washington over Detroit – Detroit doesn’t have a chance to win a game till Week 8 vs. St. Louis, yeah I said it.


Game Day Gambles
This week’s 3 likely losers won’t be beaten.

New York Jets over Tennessee – the J-E-T-S Jets have rolled over their last 2 opponents. The Titans (lack of) passing offense and defense will secure the Jets 3rd straight win.

Atlanta over New England – the Pats are getting a little too much respect in this tough match-up. RB Michael Turner has already amassed 170 rushing yards and Matt Ryan is 4th in the NFL with a 108.5 passer rating. The Pats will need more than home field advantage to win this game.

Denver over Oakland – the Broncos won’t need a miracle to beat Oakland with JaMarcus putting their opponent’s jersey on every week. Also, Kyle Orton has yet to throw an interception, count on Denver to do what it takes to not lose this one.

The Rest
Green Bay over St. Louis
Philadelphia over Kansas City
NY Giants over Tampa Bay
Baltimore over Cleveland
Houston over Jacksonville
New Orleans over Buffalo
Dallas over Carolina
San Francisco over Minnesota
Indianapolis over Arizona
Chicago over Seattle
