Week 3 Picks
After a monster Week 2 that brought us to a half-point out of first place in the 2010 Cheddar Bay Invitational over at Cleveland Frowns, it’s time to keep the magic going.
This week we like:
Army (+6.5) vs. Duke
Tennessee (+3) vs. NY Giants
Dallas (+3) vs. Houston
And the money pick: Pittsburgh (-2.5) vs. Tampa Bay
Here’s why:
Those of us who hoped Pittsburgh was going to struggle with their crappy back-up quarterbacks have been disappointed through the first two weeks of the season. With the way the Steelers’ defense is playing, the team could alternate Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn on every play at quarterback and still win. They held Chris Johnson, the best running back in the NFL, to 34 yards rushing last week. The Browns defense held Tampa to 10 points and 288 yards of total offense when they played in Week 1. Last week, Tampa had only 273 yards of total offense. They may not break 200 yards against Pittsburgh. This is the week the Bucs embrace their destiny as a 3-13 team.
Let’s roll.
