Hey everybody, I hope you have enjoyed my recent posts. I hope you know anyone can leave comments so leave comments and ask any football question that you may have, and I will be more than happy to answer them, okay thanks. Now lets talk some week 3 NFL Football!
Now last week my picks were okay, but definitely not as good as I wanted them to be, so I plan on redeeming myself here in week3. The first game that I am keeping my eye on is the Titans vs. Giants game. This game is gonna be close I think, if the Giants can hold Chris Johnson from having a gigantic game. Now will they hold him like the Steelers held him last week? No, I know for a fact Chris Johnson is going to have his game face on tommorow after being held under 40 yards last week against the Steelers. Now the Giants have a reason to come out swinging too. Suffering an embarrasing loss to the Colts last week, the Giants are going to try to steal one back. The defense couldn't stop the running game with Joseph Addia and Donald Brown carving through that defense, so how are they suppose to stop Chris Johnson. If the Titans play good defense, and get after Eli, and rush him out of the pocket along with a few good hits on him, there shouldn't be a reason why the Titans lose this game. My Pick = Titans
I like the Falcons vs Saints game. This game got a lot more interesting with the game the Saints played last week. Letting Alex Smith take his 49ers offense all the way down the feild for a late touchdown. Now the Saints still won that game on the last drive with a game winning feild goal, but that is the only thing that scares me about this game, is the Saints ability to get down the feild quick without making any mistakes and get points. If the Falcons can execute a better game plan than the 49ers, then the final score could have the Saints losing their first game. Matt Ryan is obviously a better QB than Alex Smith, I think anyone would agree, so the Saints could have more trouble on defense. Turner had an injury last week, I hear that he will still be starting for the Falcons, so that is big for them. They need to execute on the running gamme, kind of like the 49ers were doing last week with Frank Gore. Roddy White is having a big year so far, it will be nice to see if that continues. Both teams have targets that they can throw to, but I think the Saints have more. It's hard to go against the Superbowl Champs. My Pick = Saints
The Cowboys vs. Texans game is looking to be quite the match up. I like the situation both teams are in, it makes the game more important to both teams. With the Cowboys in a dieing need for a win (0-2), the Texans are (2-0). The Cowboys had so many expectations on making it to a superbowl this year, after winning one playoff game against the Eagles last year, and that the superbowl is being held at the Cowboys home feild, now it looks like the Cowboys are being left behind. The Texans situation is a lot more sweeter, but still has a lot of pressure for the Texans. The Texans are sitting on top of their division, after beating the Colts in week 1 (second win against Colts in team history), and coming back against the Redskins, and beating them in overtime. One win above everyone in their division, the Texans need to focus on winning in week 3. They do not want to get into that kind of game with Peyton Manning to see who will win the division. Stay in front of the Colts, and don't look back. It is time for Tony Romo to be a leader for this football team. When you are a Quarterback in the NFL, sometimes you have to put the team on your shoulders, and it's now or never for Romo. He needs to show everyone that he can do it. I dont't know when that first win will come for the Cowboys, but it won't be this week. My Pick = Texans
I can't wait to see the Packers vs. Bears game. Both teams are 2-0, and are looking good at this point. A rivalry between these two teams that has been going on for years now. This is a battle to be at the top of the division (as the Vikings and Lions hang behind both 0-2), both teams will be dialing up the pass I'm sure. Both quarterbacks are having a good season at this point. Aaron Rodgers putting passes on the money (as expected), but Jay Cutler has been doing the same for the Bears. Cutler has spread the ball around very well in Mike Martz's system, but from the looks of it, he like to pass it to his running back Matt Forte. It reminds me of the system Martz ran with Marshall Faulk in St. Louis. This can be a shoot out, but then again you can look at the defensive side of the ball for both teams. Both teams have one heck of a pass rusher. The Bears' Julius Peppers, everyone knows that he will make every tackle and quarterback he faces miserable, but if you look at the Packers defense, you will see this guy with long blond hair always making plays, called by the name Clay Mattews. Comes from a football family for sure, and he is making o-lines look bad. This guy for sure right now, is one of the uprising stars in the league on defense. It gets me pumped just thinking about how good this game is going to be! My Pick = Packers
A low-scoring game that I am going to pick is the Steelers vs. Buccaneers. Yes, it will be a low-scoring game I am predicting. With Charlie Batch starting at quarterback for the Steelers, I don't see him lighting up the score board. If Mendenhall can get rolling on the carries he will be getting, then it will make it that much easier for Batch. Josh Freeman is looking very good for the Buccaneers, big reason why they are 2-0, but I don't see him doing a whole lot against that Steelers defense. I mean this defense is that good, might be the best I have ever seen them. Polamalu is flying around everywhere on that defense, James Harrison coming off a monster game against the Titans, Lamarr Woodley was making plays including an interception, and Timmons has been a tackling machine, and don't forget that they held Chris Johnson to UNDER 40 YARDS RUSHING last week! Mike Willams has looked good for Tampa Bay at wide reciever, Cadilac Willams not looking bad either, but I don't see them having a good game against that Steelers defense. My Pick = Steelers
Well I hope you like my picks, hey if you don't tell me about it, leave a comment. Ask questions, tell me what games you are looking forward to watching. Have a great time this weekend watching the games!
