Not too many games in Week 3 that won’t be blowouts, so the Grizzly Bear & I will pick the games that should be interesting.

Houston @ New Orleans:

Fred’s Pick: New Orleans defense has looked terrible against everyone this year, so expect Houston to win by 2 TDs
Grizzly’s Pick: Houston by 1

New England @ Buffalo:

Fred’s Pick: Upset Special!!!! Expect Buffalo to win on a late field goal
Grizzly’s Pick: New England by 2 TDs

Green Bay @ Chicago:

Fred’s Pick: Green Bay coasts to a blowout victory 34-10
Grizzly’s Pick: Green Bay in a high scoring affair

Atlanta @ Tampa Bay:

Fred’s Pick: Atlanta wins it late, but not as late as Grizzly thinks! A late TD by Ryan leads Atlanta to 17-10 victory.
Grizzly’s Pick: Atlanta over Tampa Bay in OT

It’s that time of year again folks. The Grizzly Bear & I give you our Week 2 NFL picks. Since there are only 5 games anyone will be watching this weekend, we’ve decided to focus on those games. Jaguars @ Jets, Cowboys @ 49ers, Chargers @ Patriots, Eagles @ Falcons & Rams @ Giants.

Jaguars @ Jets:

Fred’s Pick & Thoughts: The Jaguars are one of the worst teams in football. They barely beat one of the other bottom feeders for this upcoming season last week. Expect much of the same from the Jets this week as the Jaguars bigger weakness if their pass defense. The Jets always start slow so this may be a game at halftime, but expect the Jets to win comfortably. Jets 31 Jaguars 10

Grizzly’s Pick & Thoughts: Jets SHOULD win by 2 TDs

Cowboys @ 49ers:

Fred’s Pick & Thoughts: The Cowboys already had one of the worst secondary tandems in the NFL coming into the season. And after numerous injuries in Week 1 the team will most likely be starting a number of people they signed off the street earlier this week. The 49ers finally have a coach who understands Alex Smith is Trent Dilfer circa 2000. As a result Alex Smith will be kept on a short leash like he was in Week 1. The Cowboys allow Tony Romo to chuck the ball all over & as a result he often costs his team the game. Expect nothing less in this game. 49ers 20 Cowboys 14

Grizzly’s Pick & Thoughts: Cowboys, they won’t blow a 4th quarter lead

Chargers @ Patriots:

Fred’s Pick & Thoughts: This game will be nothing more than a shootout. The Patriots released their best secondary player, so look for Philip Rivers to pass for 400 yards in this game. Look for much of the same from the Patriots. Both teams have average cornerbacks & safeties. Both teams have mediocre running games, so expect it to be a matter of who passes for more touchdowns: Brady or Rivers. While very few bet against Brady I tend to do so. Chargers 42 Patriots 38

Grizzly’s Pick & Thoughts: Patriots & their fans will be drunk because of Tom Brady’s words

Eagles @ Falcons:

Fred’s Pick & Thoughts: The Eagles only won in Week 1 because Steven Jackson got injured. On very few carries Jackson had over fifty yards & a touchdown. The Eagles linebackers are the worst in football, so expect every running back the Falcons have to run through, around & over the Eagles. Matt Ryan will prove he is a better quarterback for Atlanta than Michael Vick ever was as the Falcons rout the Eagles. Falcons 45 Eagles 21

Grizzly’s Pick & Thoughts: Eagles 16 Falcons 15

Rams @ Giants:

Fred’s Pick & Thoughts: Both teams lost to inferior teams in Week 1. Both teams are looking to rebound from disgraceful losses. The Rams will most likely be without their starting running back & Sam Bradford should start but may be ineffective due to a finger injury. The Giants should be able to do enough to win this game, if the Giants lose – their season is lost. Giants 20 Rams 9

Grizzly’s Pick & Thoughts: Giants 21 Rams 14
