NFL Awesome Picks Spectacular Week 3

Because we here at Brainfart love us some football, we decided that we would not only be doing college football picks each week, but we would also be doing some NFL picks, too. So, here is where I make my NAPS (NFL Awesome Picks Spectacular):

Picks are in red
All lines are provided by Sportsbook.ag

Cincinnati Bengals at Washington Redskins (OVER 49)
Sunday 1:00

-  Cincy can score on mediocre defenses, and Washington wasn't very special before they had two very good starters go down to injuries last week.  We have all seen what RG3 has done and the Bengal's defense has given up 44 and 27 points in their first two games. Putting up 50 shouldn't be to tough for these two teams to reach.

Pittsburgh Steelers (-4) at Oakland Raiders
Sunday 4:30

- Oakland just got blown out by the Dolphins!  I certainly did not see that coming but they got crushed even though Carson Palmer threw for 373 yards.  Only putting up 13 points with that much offense is hard to do even for the Raiders.  Pittsburgh may not have all their weapons healthy but if the Dolphins have enough, the Steelers definitely do.

Jacksonville Jaguars (+3) at Indianapolis Colts 
Sunday 1:00

-  This just in - Blaine Gabbert is competent!  I know - I'm surprised too.  He isn't good but he is serviceable enough to lead his slightly better band of misfits to a win over the Colts' slightly worse band of misfits.  The margin is not much but close to all across the board I think the Jags are just a little better.

Saint Louis Rams at Chicago Bears (-7.5)
Sunday 1:00

-  The Rams have showed some offensive life but that was against lesser defenses.  The Bears are going to be eager to prove that the Packers' game was a fluke and they have had 10 days to game plan for this match up.  On the other side of the ball Cutler and the offense will look a lot more like week one than week two against the Rams soft defense.  Bush should get the ball early and often.  Look for a slow methodical double digit win from the Bears.


Last Week's Results: 1-3-1
Season Results: 2-6-1
