NFL Football WK 3 Picks

So far I’m 20-11 for my picks.  Not a very outstanding record!  LOL  That first week was kind of rough and I did a couple of bone-head things last week.  Now teams are starting to have a bit of history for the season, so hopefully the picks will get easier.  Of course, crap happens, which is why they play the games, right?  I based my picks this week on who had the better record so far, but the last 3 were the toughest.  I picked Eagles over the Steelers because I know Ben is coping with a shoulder injury and I don’t know if he’s even going to be playing.  Plus, the Steelers had a hard time scoring against the Browns last week, while the Eagles have had 2 consecutive games scoring nearly 40.  Plus, they’re playing in Philly.  I took the Cowboys over the Packers because while Rodgers has made an excellent showing so far, they’ve only played the Vikings and Lions.  I think this game against the ‘boys will be a real test for him, and Romo has more experience.  I do think it’ll be a good game though.  Now, the Jets over Chargers was a hard one for me.  It’s no secret I hate the Jets, but so far they have a better record than the Chargers.  Plus, Merriman is out for the season now, and the Chargers have yet to win a game.  I’d love to see them pound Favre, but I’m not sure it’s going to happen Monday.
