NFL 2013 Week 3 Predictions

Packers -2.5 over Bengals, 31-27
-My Super Bowl prediction for the teams and this is about my prediction for the score as well.

Texans -2.5 over Ravens, 29-23
-I have far more respect for Flacco and the Ravens, but the injuries are tough right now.

Vikings -6 over Browns, 24-6
-Not enough points in the world would it get me to select the Browns. Brian Hoyer, anyone? Let’s trot out Ryan Lindley at that point.

Lions +2.5 over Ethnic Slurs, 33-24
-I know, the Lions have never won in DC. Basically, forever. But, it changes here because the Washington Professional Sports franchise is not a very good team. Megatron is going to have an amazing game.

Rams +4.5 over Cowboys, 21-20
-It would help both teams’ case if they could run the ball, but neither can. And both pass rush well. But, the Rams to me are the sound team in all phases and I’ll take the 4.5. Plus….SAM BRADFORD EVERYONE!

Giants PK over Panthers, 27-19
-PK! PK? PK. “Shakes head”. One of these teams is SO much better than the other it isn’t funny.

Bears -3 over Steelers, 24-13
-3 points! 3 points? 3 points. “Shakes head”. One of these teams is SO much better than the other it isn’t funny.
-Strategic Eliminator Pick

Saints -6.5 over Cards, 30-22
-Cards are feisty, but the Saints are going to get it all on track here. Good corners, but who covers Jimmy Graham?

Seahawks -19 over Jags, 27-6
-Yes I am aware that is a crazy line. Are you aware of the Jacksonville Jaguars? You know, the NFL Europe team specializing in safeties?
-Safest Eliminator Pick

Pats -6.5 over Bucs, 24-13
-The teacher takes down the student. And Schiano postures for the Texas job. Kembrell Thompkins catches more than 50% of his targets this week.

Colts +10.5 over 49ers, 24-29
-49ers win, enraged at last week. But 10.5 is a big number, and I think I am going to institute an Andrew Luck rule: “Never bet against Andrew Luck getting more than a touchdown”.

Broncos -14 over Raiders, 31-14
-Just an easy straight up win, maybe even more so than the Seahawks. The line is high and I would hesitate to go with that straight up, especially if it drifts to -15, -15.5. Two team tease with the Seahawks….
