It was a rough week last week as I picked the Packers who went on to lose at home to the Bengals. They weren’t the only upset though, as the Titans, another popular pick, also went down. The other popular picks, the Redskins and Vikings, survived scares but went on to win. Week 3 poses some intriguing match ups to look at.
Teams already used:
Week 1: Seattle Seahwaks: Win
Week 2: Green Bay Packers: Loss
The pick for week 3 is the Baltimore Ravens.
The Ravens have looked like a different team this year as they are showing off an explosive offense which has scored 69 points in two games. Joe Flacco has made a considerable leap in his second year and Ray Rice and Willis McGahee are forming quite the one-two punch in the backfield. Also Todd Heap has had a resurgence and is playing like its three years ago.
This week the 0-2 Browns come to town fresh off two spankings. The Browns defense is ripe for the picking allowing 61 points in their two games. Brady Quinn has looked average at best and there are already some people calling for Derek Anderson and they have had no running game to speak of. The Ravens looked impressive winning on the road a San Diego last week and even though this is a divisional game it doesn’t matter. The Ravens have the Patriots next week but guys like Ray Lewis and Ed Reed won’t allow the team to overlook this game.
Final Score: Ravens 30 Browns 13
In case you have used one of the teams I’ve picked here are some other team I like:
Giants over the Bucs- he passing game is clicking and the Bucs secondary is in shambles.
Eagles over the Chiefs- I’m a little nervous about Kolb, but after seeing what their defense did to Delhomme imagine what they will do to Cassel.
