NFL Week 3 Predictions

Chargers at Bills:  A week after tearing through Seattle's Legion of Boom, look for Rivers to continue to thrive in Mike McCoy's system and dissect the Bill's secondary. Chargers win 31-20

Titans at Bengals: Bengals at home, look for a big game from Gio Bernard, as the Titans will likely look to shut down the Dalton-Green combination. Bernard will make a large impact both running the ball and out of the backfield. Also, I like Geno Atkins and that fearsome Bengals defense. Bengals win 27-13

Ravens at Browns: This could yet be another upset that the Browns provide for the rest of the NFL. I like the Browns to surprise their division rivals, as Joe Flacco will be forced to throw superstar cornerback Joe Haden's way with Bernard Pierce out with an injury. Browns win 20-17

Packers at Lions: Rodgers has a history of beating the Lions, and I don't think that will change. Look for Randall Cobb to have a great game, as the Lion's will be focusing on Jordy Nelson, who leads the league in catches and yards. Matthew Stafford will also have success, as this game will likely be a shootout, with the better quarterback winning. Packers win 41-34

Colts at Jaguars: The Colts caught a break, as after a horrendous 0-2 start to the season, they play against the jaguars. I expect Andrew Luck to help his team glide to an easy victory at EverBank Stadium. Colts win 31-16

Raiders at Patriots: This one is pretty easy. This will be a field day for Tom Brady and the Patriots offense, while the New England defense will focus on stopping Maurice Jones-Drew. Patriots win 35-13

Vikings at Saints: The saints wil bounce back this week against a Vikings team distracted by the Peterson issues. Look for Rob Ryan's defense to really show their stripes against an offense without their best plat maker. Saints win 30-13

Texans at Giants: The Giants have looked horrible through two weeks, and look for that to continue this week. JJ Watt and that pass rush will put a lot of pressure on Eli Manning, forcing him to make bad throws. Texans win 20-10

Redskins at Eagles: The Eagles offense will terrorize the under performing redskins defense. This game will likely be an offensive shootout, and Cousins will have a decent game, but his defense will not allow him to get his team the win. Eagles win 34-27

Cowboys at Rams: The cowboys will run the ball a lot this game, but Gregg Williams will counter that attack with the four first round pick players along that defensive line. The X-Factor in this game will be Tony Romo and the Cowboys passing attack. Cowboys win 24-13

 49ers at Cardinals: This is a game that is not getting enough credit. This will be a defensive shootout but I trust the 49ers to get it done and have Kaepernick and his legs take them to victory. 49ers win 17-13

Chiefs at Dolphins: I like the Chiefs in this one, even without Jamaal Charles. Alex Smith will be able to win this game, but the group that will push the Cheifs over the edge is the pass rush led by Tamba Hali. Chiefs win 17-13

Broncos at Seahawks: This is gonna be a great game. Arguably the beat offense in the league versus arguably the best and most fearsome defense. I like Peyton to beat the Seahawks as he rarely ever loses to a team twice in a row, and this will be no exception. Broncos win 31-30

Steelers at Panthers: A rock solid Panthers defense against a struggling Steelers team. Cam Newton will look great and look for Kelvin Benjamin to have a great night. Panthers win 23-10

Bears at Jets: A week after blowing a big lead at Lambeau, the Jets face the Packers biggest rival in the Bears, and after a great performance against the 49ers, the bears will cruise to another victory against the struggling jets. Bears win 31-20
