NFL Week 3 Bettors Guide.

Last Week: 11-5 straight up and against the spread.

Tennessee Titans @ New York Jets (-3): This is gonna be a hella tough game for my boys because we're coming off such an emotional high in last week's game...not to mention not only do the Titans not want to fall 0-3; but they want revenge from the beatdown they received in Nashville last year to end their undefeated stretch. A lot of the experts don't believe the Jets will win this game (of course) but Rex Ryan will make sure to bring us back to reality and focus on the task at hand. Low scoring for sure. New York 17 Tennessee 10

Green Bay Packers (-6.5) @ St. Louis Rams: The Rams have no pulse...the only reason why they were in the game last week is because the Redskins have a putrid offense. Packers= much better offense. Get the hell outta here 6.5. It could be 11.5 I'd still take the Pack. Green Bay 28 St. Louis 10

Washington Redskins @ Detroit Lions (+6.5): How do the Redskins respond? Similar schedule to last year where they got to play the Rams AND Lions yet they find a way to struggle to both. This game has been blacked out in Detroit because there were 10,000 unsold seats...but hey this is Detroit's best chance to win. Neither team know how to play 60 minutes of football but guess what, Detroit wins Sunday! Detroit 20 Washington 14

Kansas City Chiefs @ Philadelphia Eagles (-8.5): The Eagles are in a quandry, with Kevin Kolb slated to start for the second consecutive week. However this does mark the return of Michael Vick. Don't be fooled by KC's defense, they only looked good last week because Jamarcus Russell is the most erratic QB in the NFL. It probably doesn't matter who's under center...the Eagles will get the job done. Philadelphia 34 Kansas City 17

Atlanta Falcons @ New England Patriots (-4): I love the Falcons, they just are so fundamentally sound on both sides of the ball. The Patriots are being nit-picked like crazy...just deal with it the Jets simply were the better team last week Jesus. With that said, the Patriots should rebound in a game they need to have. They don't lose consecutive games. New England 24 Atlanta 17

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Houston Texans (-3.5): The Jaguars are simply not that good. The Texans got it together last week and that story continues here. Houston 27 Jacksonville 13

San Francisco 49ers (+7) @ Minnesota Vikings: Yes, count me in as one who's sold on this Niners squad. They're another team that doesn't wow you but their run game is on point & defense is solid. Minnesota is very similar. Adrian Peterson is a tad nicked up but he's fine he's gonna strap on those boots and be ready to rock. With that said though, I smell an upset. San Francisco 24 Minnesota 21

Cleveland Browns @ Baltimore Ravens (-13): Child please. Baltimore 34 Cleveland 10

New York Giants (-6.5) @ Tampa Bay Bucs: We know about the Giants' injuries and they just got dealt a huge blow with Kenny Phillips out for the year and Justin Tuck listed out. But hey, if you're gonna pick a time to lick your wounds it's their 3 week stretch of TB, KC and OAK. Doesn't get much easier than that. With that said, I think the Bucs will be game and give the spread a scare. But the outcome will never be in doubt. New York 28 Tampa Bay 17

New Orleans Saints (-6) @ Buffalo Bills: You can't stop this offense, you can only hope to contain them. The main reason why it's tough to cover much less beat the Saints at this point is because they score so often/quick that they force other offenses to speed up their tempo...and it ain't gonna happen. New Orleans 38 Buffalo 21

Chicago Bears @ Seattle Seahawks (+2): Well Hasselbeck might not play and that has a lot to do with Seattle being the underdog in this one...but I think in the end, the Seahawks' defense will keep them in it and there's no shame with Seneca Wallace running the show- he's more than capable of filling in. Seattle 20 Chicago 17

Pittsburgh Steelers (-4) @ Cincinnati Bengals: If the Bengals treat this game like the Jets treated the Patriots last week then I will regret this pick. Nevertheless though, Ben Roethlisberger just doesn't lose in the state of Ohio and while the Bengals' defense will be game...can their offense make it 2 straight solid games. I'm not 100% sure. Pittsburgh 24 Cincinnati 17

Miami Dolphins (+6) @ San Diego Chargers: The Chargers have burned me twice it will not happen again. Or so I think. Miami's coming off a well-played game in which they still couldn't win. That's very worrysome. However, their defense is well-rested and the slow Chargers will win, yet not cover. San Diego 24 Miami 20

Denver Broncos @ Oakland Raiders (+2): Yeah, I think so. Oakland 16 Denver 9

Indianapolis Colts (+2.5) @ Arizona Cardinals: What, no love for the Cardinals? I understand, I mean the Colts have to be exhausted on defense and on a short week it's no fun facing a Cardinals team at that University of Phoenix stadium which will be ROCKIN. But after that scintillating performance by Peyton Manning, I just can't doubt him. I really can't. Shootout in the desert which will be fun for everyone on SNF. Indianapolis 31 Arizona 28

Carolina Panthers (+8.5) @ Dallas Cowboys: Ehhhh...could go either way in terms of the spread...but any offense led by Jake Delhomme ain't gonna win you shit. Dallas 24 Carolina 17

And so on.
