2009 NFL Week 3 – Spring’s Picks

Getting Ready For Week 3

So Week 3 begins and hopefully we’re out of the Twilight Zone. The Eagles will still be struggling without McNab. Tennessee is still feeling the sting of their loss last week going into NY where the Jets have home field advantage. While the Jets are flying high from their win over New England. I think this is the emotional game of the week and the Jets will have the advantage. New England has something to prove in Atlanta and I think they’ll do just that. Miami should easily take San Diego in California. And Indianapolis proved to themselves last week that they can come back and win on someone else’s home field, so I expect they’ll take Arizona with relative ease. Though it may not be as easy as they think, Arizona is showing they have some skills this year.

On Monday, I expect Dallas to come back on their home field angry and feeling they have something to prove. I love that they lost their home opener in the “Palace in Dallas” that Jerry built to his own ego. But I think that sting of defeat on their home opener, and in their new stadium with all it’s hype; well over hype if you ask me; has their blood boiling and they’ll take Carolina.

So here’s the picks for the week from me. Hopefully it’s not a continuation of last weeks miserable picks.

Week 2 – NFL Results

Spring’s Week 2 Results

Ok So Week 2 sucked! Or at the very least the NFL fell into the Twilight Zone for 2 days. How in the world did Houston beat Tennessee, or Arizona take Jacksonville. Without McNab I know Philly was a long shot, but hey we all make wishes sometimes. But come on Pittsburgh losing to Chicago? Say what?! This same Twilight Zone thing happened last year during Week 2. It’s an odd phenomena. The final result for the week was 7 out of 16. I don’t care much for those less than 50% weekends. Let’s go back to Week 1, I liked that one.
