NFL Week 3 Winners and Losers: Breaking Down My Picks

Well, I didn't do too terribly bad picking games this week.  There were a couple of huge upsets that I didn't see coming.  Take a look at how I did.

New England 34, Buffalo 21: WRONG.  I said the Bills couldn't keep up with Brady and company.  The Bills won 34-31.

Cincinnati 21, San Francisco 20: WRONG...San Francisco won 13-8.  I said Alex Smith wasn't very good, though.  At least I was right about that.

Detroit 27, Minnesota 6: RIGHT.  It was close though.  Detroit won 23-20 in OT.

Tennessee 24, Denver 14: RIGHT.  Tennessee won 17-14.  I was off by a touchdown.

Philly 30, New York 17: WRONG.  Who saw this one coming?  Seriously?  Give me a break here.  Vick was knocked out of the game, and the G-Men won 29-16.  New York looked good.

Houston 35, New Orleans 34: WRONG.  I said it would be the game of the week.  The Saints won 40-33.  I knew it would be high-scoring, but I thought Wade Phillips' D was going to at least show up.

Jacksonville 17, Carolina 14: WRONG.  The Panthers won 16-10.  The game was played in a monsoon, and that hurt both teams' offenses.

Oakland 27, Jets 24: RIGHT.  This was my upset pick of the week.  The Raiders won 34-24.  I almost got the score right.  I just didn't see the Raiders putting up that many points on a Rex Ryan-coached team.

Baltimore 24, St. Louis 17: RIGHT.  The Ravens killed the Rams 37-7.  The Rams didn't even show up in the first half.  Just embarrassing.

Green Bay 35, Chicago 21: RIGHT.  The Pack won 27-17.  It was a bit lower scoring than I had expected, which might mean defenses are catching up to the offenses by this point in the season.

San Diego 31, Kansas City 10: RIGHT.  This was a lot closer than I had thought.  The Chargers won 20-17.  Andrew Luck is going to look great in a Chiefs' uniform.

Arizona 24, Seattle 13: WRONG.  I can't believe that Seattle beat Arizona 13-10.  I think the teams in the SEC West are better than the teams in the NFC West.

Pittsburgh 30, Indy 13: RIGHT.  This was also a close game.  I just don't think Pittsburgh is that good right now.  They beat the Colts 23-20 on a last-second field goal.

Atlanta 27, Tampa Bay 24: WRONG.  Tampa Bay won 16-13.  Atlanta doesn't look very good right now.  Anybody still think they are going to the Super Bowl?

Dallas 24, Washington 20: RIGHT.  I said the Redskins would compete hard before losing on the road.  They lost 18-16 after Rex Grossman fumbled with under 30 seconds to play.  It was a competitive game by two teams that aren't very good right now.

WEEK 3 TOTAL: 8-7

SEASON TOTAL: 8-7
