Here are my picks for the third week of the NFL season.
San Francisco 49ers @ Kansas City Chiefs: The 49ers will win because there defense is getting better and there offense is getting better.
Cleveland Browns @ Baltimore Ravens: The Ravens will be motivated from last weeks loss and the Browns will have a new quarterback under center.
Dallas Cowboys @ Houston Texans: Dallas was overconfident coming into the season and Houston has an explosive offense that will be hard to stop.
Detroit Lions @ Minnesota Vikings: The Vikings defense will step up to avoid going 0-3 while the offense will continue to struggle because Brett Favre doesn't trust his recievers. With Matthew Stafford Being injured for the lions, the offense will continue to miss him.
Buffalo Bills @ New England Patriots: After being shut out during the second half of the Jets game, the patriots offense will look to get back on track against a bad defense.
Atlanta Falcons @ New Orleans Saints: After a week 1 loss, the Falcons offense improved with a strong game against the Cardinals. The Saints offense has not looked as high powered as I would have thought so it will be a close game.
Tennesssee Titans @ New York Giants: After getting blown out against the Colts in Week 2, the Giants will look to get back on track against a team with quarterback questions. After Vince Young was benched during their Week 2 game, there may be some distractions for the Titans.
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers: After a strong start without their starting to quarterback, the Steelers will win their third straight game against an overachieving Bucs team.
Cinncinati Bengals @ Carolina Panthers: The Bengals defense will be going against a rookie starting quarterback for the Panthers so they will force some turnovers and win handily.
Philadelphia Eagles @ Jacksonville Jaguars: With Vick starting at QB, the Jags defense will have trouble stopping him and the Eagles will win because of that.
Washington Redskins @ St. Louis Rams: After losing a heartbreaker to the Texans last week, the Redskins will bounce back against a Rams team that has a rookie QB and a bad defense.
Indianapolis Colts @ Denver Broncos: In an emotional game, the Broncos will keep it close but lose to Peyton Manning and a high-powered Colts offense.
Oakland Raiders @ Arizona Cardinals: In a matchup of two bad teams, whoever makes the fewest mistakes will win the game.
San Diego Chargers @ Seattle Seahawks: After a promising start, the Seahawks will lose their second straight game to a motivated Chargers team.
New York Jets @ Miami Dolphins: The Jets have a let down after their win last week to a division rival and the Dolphins will steal the win.
Green Bay Packers @ Chicago Bears: A confident Chicago Bears team will win a close game against an underperforming Packers team.
