NFL Week 3 Round-Up

The downside of being behind is that you have to take some risky picks to try and make up ground, and if those picks don't pay off you end up even further behind.

Patriots at Bills

-------------------

The Wife: Patriots

Me: Patriots

Steve: Patriots

WINNER: Bills ("this could be an upset" I suggested . . . so why didn't I pick them?)

49ers at Bengals

--------------------

The Wife: Bengals

Me: Bengals

Steve: 49ers

WINNER: 49ers (I feel like any games involving either of these two teams this year will be a snoozefest)

Dolphins at Browns

---------------------

The Wife: Dolphins

Me: Browns

Steve: Dolphins

WINNER: Browns (glad for the win, but both of the Browns' victories have been narrow wins over teams that are each now 0-3 . . . for some reason, although they have some name-players now, their offense still struggles to score)

Broncos at Titans

---------------

The Wife: Titans

Steve: Titans

Me: Titans

WINNER: Titans (traveling to Cleveland for week 4 and looking better than most would have expected, especially with C.J. not producing much)

Lions at Vikings

-----------------

The Wife: Lions

Me: Lions

Steve: Lions

WINNER: Lions

Texans at Saints

-----------------

The Wife: Saints

Me: Texans

Steve: Saints

WINNER: Saints (my "upset special" looked good for some minutes in the fourth quarter . . .)

Giants at Eagles

-------------------

The Wife: Eagles

Me: Eagles

Steve: Giants

WINNER: Giants

Jags at Panthers

-----------------

The Wife: Panthers

Me: Panthers

Steve: Panthers

WINNER: Panthers (sounds like Gabbert looked okay . . . so far, all the rookie QBs who are playing seem to be off to good starts, which was unexpected given the lock-out . . . maybe coaches make far too much of OTAs, mini-camps and long training camps?)

Chiefs at Chargers

-----------------

The Wife: Chargers

Me: Chargers

Steve: Chargers

WINNER: Chargers

Jets at Raiders

---------------

The Wife: Jets

Me: Raiders

Steve: Jets

WINNER: Raiders

Ravens at Rams

----------------

The Wife: Ravens

Me: Rams

Steve: Ravens

WINNER: Ravens

Cardinals at Seahawks

-----------------

The Wife: Cardinals

Me: Cardinals

Steve: Cardinals

WINNER: Seahawks (and here I thought the Cardinals were the best team in a bad division . . .)

Falcons at Bucs

------------------

The Wife: Bucs

Me: Falcons

Steve: Bucs

WINNER: Bucs (many people thought this team would regress just like the Chiefs, but so far so good with a Monday night game next week against the hapless Colts coming up . . .)

Packers at Bears

-------------------

The Wife: Packers

Me: Packers

Steve: Packers

WINNER: Packers

Steelers at Colts

-------------------

The Wife: Steelers

Me: Steelers

Steve: Steelers

WINNER: Steelers (Colts made it close due to defense)

Redskins at Cowboys

-------------------

The Wife: Redskins

Me: Cowboys

Steve: Redskins

WINNER: Cowboys

THIS WEEK:

The Wife: 9-7

Me: 9-7

Steve: 11-5

CUMULATIVE:

The Wife: 29-19

Me: 27-21

Steve: 31-17
