End of the Week NFL Picks Rewind – Week Three

Review My Picks Here

Record: 10-6

12.00 CBS Charlotte, North Carolina

Lower scoring game because they played in a monsoon but Newton was one play better than Gabbert.

Prediction: Panthers 27 Jaguars 17
Actual Score: Panthers 16 Jaguars 10

12:00 CBS New Orleans, Louisiana

Should have been a Texan win but the Saints stole it from them with takeaways in the fourth quarter and Drew Brees confidently on top of his game.

Prediction: Saints 34 Texans 31
Actual Score: Saints 40 Texans 33

12:00 CBS Orchid Park, New York

No one got this one right outside of the citizens of Buffalo, and I am sure there were a lot of Bills fans that picked the Patriots. With the win, Buffalo is proving to be a legit AFC team.

Prediction: Patriots 42 Bills 31
Actual Score: Bills 34 Patriots 31



12:00 CBS Cleveland, Ohio

Colt McCoy proved me right and led his team down the field and made the play in the final minute to snatch a victory from the Dolphins.

Prediction: Browns 21 Dolphins 17
Actual Score: Browns 17 Dolphins 16

12:00 CBS Nashville, Tennessee

Kyle Orton did not have a good game and the Titans made just enough plays to win. The win was costly with the loss of Kenny Britt for the season with a torn ACL.

Prediction: Titans 20 Broncos 14
Actual Score: Titans 17 Broncos 14

12:00 FOX Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Manning threw for 4 touchdowns and no interceptions and Michael Vick did not look like himself at all. Giants rolled in the fourth quarter and got a surprising win in Philly.

Prediction: Eagles 24 Giants 14
Actual Score: Giants 29 Eagles 16

12:00 FOX Minneapolis, Minnesota

Many people, myself included did not see this game being close, let alone go into overtime, but the Vikings did their best. The Lions came back and won a game they had no business winning. That is the sign of a good team.

Prediction: Lions 35 Vikings 20
Actual Score: Lions 26 Vikings 23 OT

12:00 FOX Cincinnati, Ohio

Again, lower scoring then I thought but I got the win. I was really impressed with the Bengals defense, regardless of the loss.

Prediction: 49ers 26 Bengals 14
Actual Score: 49ers 13 Bengals 8

3:05 CBS Oakland, California

Cross Country trip for the Jets and they looked off the whole game. They could not stop the run and that is the Raiders strong suite.

Prediction: Jets 23 Raiders 7
Actual Score: Raiders 34 Jets 24

3:05 CBS San Diego, California

San Diego took Kansas City lightly and almost got burned. I was impressed with the Chiefs fight on the road and in the division.

Prediction: Chargers 38 Chiefs 10
Actual Score: Chargers 20 Chiefs 17

3:05 CBS St. Louis, Missouri

The Ravens were dominant on both sides of the ball and the Rams looked lost and uninspired. Steve Spagnuolo is on the Hot Seat in St. Louis.

Prediction: Ravens 31 Rams 17
Actual Score: Ravens 37 Rams 7

3:15 FOX Chicago, Illinois

Good win for the Pack in Chicago but they have to clean up the penalties and defensive miscommunication.

Prediction: Packers 28 Bears 13
Actual Score: Packers 27 Bears 17



3:15 FOX Seattle, Washington

I was very disappointed in the Cardinals on Sunday. Seattle had no business being in the game with all the talent on offense with Arizona. To score only 10 points is unacceptable.

Prediction: Cardinals 35 Seahawks 21
Actual Score: Seahawks 13 Cardinals 10

3:15 FOX Tampa, Florida

The Falcons have the look of a team that will win at home but will lose on the road. The Bucs came to play and the Falcons weren’t ready and had to scramble late and couldn’t get it done.

Prediction: Falcons 34 Buccaneers 14
Actual Score: Buccaneers 16 Falcons 13

7:20 NBC Indianapolis, Indiana

The Colts did everything they could but that won’t be enough to beat a good team like the Steelers. Big Ben has to cut down on the turnovers if the Steelers want to remain competitive throughout the season.

Prediction: Steelers 20 Colts 10
Actual Score: Steelers 23 Colts 20

7:30 ESPN Arlington, Texas

Romo did play and the Redskins almost got the win. Romo played alright but made the big third down conversion late and set up the winning field goal.

Prediction: Redskins 17 Cowboys 14
Actual Score: Cowboys 18 Redskins 16
