Question #60: Who do you like?

September
19

I hate to brag, but my mediocrity was good enough to beat Sam’s dreadfulness last week.

My picks were 8-6-1, while Sam went 5-9-1. For the season, I lead 16-14-1 to 14-16-1.

I’m having a tough time picking the Giants by two touchdowns, but I think this team is one that wants to be great and more important, to be considered great. If that’s the case, you have to blow out the Criminals, er, Bengals, at home. Right?

The Jets are walking into an angry place to play a good team in San Diego, which was ripped off by officiating errors last week. I pity the Green.

So here are the weekend’s picks:

WEEK 3

GIANTS (-13 1/2) over Bengals
Chiefs (+5 1/2) over FALCONS
BILLS (-9 1/2) over Raiders
TITANS (-5) over Texans
PATRIOTS (-13) over Dolphins
BEARS (-3) over Bucs
Cardinals (+3) over REDSKINS
Panthers (+3 1/2) over VIKINGS
Rams (+9 1/2) over SEAHAWKS
49ERS (-4) over Lions
EAGLES (-3) over Steelers
BRONCOS (-5 1/2) over Saints
COLTS (-5 1/2) over Jaguars
RAVENS (-2 1/2) over Browns
Cowboys (-3) over PACKERS
CHARGERS (-9) over Jets
