First of all, take these all with a grain of salt.
Secondly, these are for educational purposes only.
Third - I think it is a major mistake to try and predict all games.
My ranking system is based on "Stars", which gauges how strongly I feel about each pick.
So, here they are:
*ONE STAR GAMES*
None.
**TWO STAR GAMES**
Exotic Play (6 Pt. Teaser): New England (-1.5) over Cincinnati Bengals, and OVER (47) (2 stars)
38, 38, 38. That's a pattern folks, and I'm not talking about Britney's new measurements. That's the Pats scores the first 3 games and Cincy's not stopping anyone either. The only question would be if Carson and Co. can put up 10, and I think they can. Seems like an easy call here.
***THREE STAR GAMES***
Oakland Raiders (+3.5) vs. Miami Dolphins (3 stars)
So many stories, so little time. Miami can't stop the run, and Lamont Jordan's on fire. Add to this that Daunte is back in Miami, and I bet he's got a chip on his shoulder bigger than LenDale White's gut. As for the Fins, their ground game was inflated by the woeful Jets D last week and the passing game will not fare well vs. the solid secondary for the Silver and Black. I don't see how Oakland doesn't win this game outright.
Detroit Lions vs. Chicago Bears (over 44.5) (3 stars)
This looks like a gimme. Detroit puts up more points than a pinball machine, but so do their opponents. As for the Bears, the good news is that they don't have as many players on the injury list as New England. The bad news is that their list is actually for real.
24 points or more for each team in the dome.
of the Week - Oakland
Enjoy.
(Yes Week 3 I got my hat handed to me again, so I'm going back to what I did Week 1, which is pick my best 3 plays).
