Week Three Picks

The Saint implosion is troubling, but more importantly, can Larry Johnson and Steven Jackson please score a touchdown? Of the consensus top-6 fantasy picks, it seems only Addai is performing like one.

Also, after what seems like two years of down production from wide receivers, scoring is way up. And my Andre Johnson pick was looking like gold up until he sprained his knee last week. Let's get back on the field healthy next week, buddy.

Dolphins (+3) over JETS - The fish stink, but the Jets have yet to show me anything positive this year. This used to be a great rivalry. Remember that Monday Night Double Overtime classic?
REDSKINS (-3.5) over Giants - This used to be a great rivalry, too. The least inept offense wins.
*Colts (-6) over TEXANS - No Andre means rookie Jacoby Jones is in the hot seat. Did I mention I picked up Indy's defense this week?
PACKERS (+5) over Chargers - Green Bay at home 2-0 against a shaky Phil Rivers. I see the Chargers winning by a field goal. Good game of the week contender.
*CHIEFS (-3) over Vikings- The Chiefs never lose at home, and LJ had better be in game shape by now.
EAGLES (-6) over Lions - My first instinct was to switch this pick around, so I'm leaving it alone.
PATRIOTS (-16.5) - I almost never give this many points, but Belicheater's like my girlfriend when it comes to football, they both love piling on the points.
49ers (+9) over STEELERS - Once the Steelers go up by 3, they'll just run the ball til the clock ticks off.
Cardinals (+8) over RAVENS - A good upset of the week candidate because the Ravens are atrocious and banged up.
Rams (+3.5) over BUCS - If they haven't solved the Orlando Pace problem by now, my Rams are done. Psst. Bulger: Throw the ball to Jackson in the flat when the 5-man rush comes barreling in.
BRONCOS (-3) over Jaguars - Two struggling offensive units with theoretically good rushing attacks collide in the battle of who wants to lose least.
Bengals (+3.5) over SEAHAWKS - Yes, Seattle always wins at home, but I can't think of a team more ready to dish out a pounding than the Bengals.
RAIDERS (-3) over Browns - Well, someone has to win.
*FALCONS (+3.5) over Panthers - At home in the dome against a team that was squashed by the Texans, and they're a dog?
Cowboys (+3) over BEARS - Let's see it, Romo.
SAINTS (-4) over Titans - They're marching in, and need a win.
