Week 3 - Rich's Pick

• Houston +6 Indy....This game should be close, if the Texans had Johnson...I'd take Houston as the outright winner here. Colts squeak by in another tough road divisional game.
• Green Bay +5 San Diego....Another great Week 3 matchup. On paper, San Diego is the better team. Green Bay, with their under-rated defense, should play the Chargers very tough.
• Kansas City -3 Minnesota....I dislike both teams...taking the Chiefs at home.
• Detroit +5.5 Philly...Is this the week that the Lions are finally taken seriously? As bad as Philly has played this far, hard to take the Eagles against ANYBODY by this many points...especially an improved Detroit team.
• Buffalo +16.5 New England....The Pats can't possibly blow everybody out every week...looking for a letdown after the big Chargers win.
• NY Jets -3 Miami-tough line....definitely not betting this game.
• Pittsburgh -9.5 San Fran...As much as I hate giving this many points to a team that is typically conservative offensively, the Steelers are hands down the better team here. San Fran comes back down to Earth this week.
• Arizona +9 Baltimore...Again, too many points for the Ravens to give ANYBODY the way they are playing.
• Tampa Bay -3.5 St. Louis....Unfortunately, it's going to be a long, long season for the Lambs.
• Jacksonville +3 Denver....Another tough call, these are 2 teams that aren't as good as they were supposed to be.
• Cincy +3.5 Seattle....Ocho Cinco. TD, TD, TD. Hasselbeck should have a good day as well. Taking over 49.5 for sure.
• Cleveland +3 Oakland....I made the winning pick last week with the Raiders. I'm going to take my winnings and call it a day. It should be a pretty safe bet to bet against Oakland every week from here on out regardless.
• Carolina -3.5 Atlanta....Atlanta has shown no ability to contend with a decent Carolina team to this point. Winning the wager last week +10.5 against Jacksonville was like pulling teeth. This may be another team to bet against every week.
• Washington -3.5 NY Giants....Gibbs has the Skins playing well and the G-men have way too many issues right now. AND they can't tackle anybody. Skins by 10.
• Dallas +3 Chicago....Again, I'm not sold on the Bears. Is this the week Grossman implodes so bad that Griese takes the helm? I price a 25% chance.
• Tennessee +4 New Orleans....the Titans are 10-2 ATS with VY at the helm. No way I'm betting against him and a feisty Titans team against a struggling Saints team.

Good luck this week!
