It’s been crazy for the staff this week with our adult & other news page going to hell in a hand basket, but they were able to think football for a time late Saturday. Their Week 3 picks sucked [8-6 and 32-14 for the season]. So with all the added stress, take their picks with a grain of salt.
Dallas 24 Tennessee 17 - Dallas will not need to dial 911 for this game.
Miami 21 Houston 14 - Teams get healthy when they play the Texans. But we wouldn’t be surprised if the Texans pull a mild upset.
Atlanta 31 Arizona 17 - After the beating the Saints gave the Falcons last week, they’ll look to return the favor against the Cardinals Sunday.
Indianapolis 35 Jets 14 - Colts kick it into high gear.
Minnesota 21 Buffalo 17 - Vikings should have won their game last week against the Bears. They will not let this game slip by.
Baltimore 14 San Diego 10 - This could be the game of the week. Take the Ravens at home.
Kansas City 24 San Francisco 17 - 49ers are getting better by the week, but the Chiefs are coming off a bye and should be well rested.
Carolina 28 New Orleans 24 - Panthers continue to get healthy.
St. Louis 21 Lions 17 - A big homecoming for Lions coach Mike Martz.
Jacksonville 28 Redskins 17 - Jags should be able to handle the most over priced team in the League for the way they have played.
Cleveland 3 Raiders 2 - A “friends & family” game. No one else cares.
Cincinnati 24 New England 17 - Bengals looking like an early Super Bowl favorite.
Chicago 17 Seattle 14 - Should be a great game.
Philadelphia 28 Green Bay 14 - Will be a difficult game to watch if you’re a Packer-Backer.
