The more predictable results of week 2 allowed the Hognosticator to get his record back above .500. This weekend ended with a couple of Brunell\u2019s arrows striking directly through the hearts of Cowboy fans everywhere, and the superb defensive play from the Redskins have made the entire season\u2014regardless of outcomes\u2014worthwhile. Week 3 may be a merciful bye week for Houston, Detroit and Baltimore, but it could not be a better two weeks to be a Redskin fan. <\/p>\n
Atlanta at Buffalo <\/b>
\nIf Vick\u2019s injured hamstring does not heal, it will cost the Falcons their division title, and moreover, a playoff berth. Mora should rest Vick and get him healthy. Meanwhile, the Bills will play well enough to win.
\nPick \u2013 Bills<\/p>\n
Cincinnati at Chicago <\/b>
\nThe combination of Carson Palmer, Chad Johnson and Rudi Johnson is much better than any combination the Detroit Lions can put on the field. Marvin Lewis also has his defense playing well.
\nPick \u2013 Bengals<\/p>\n
Tampa Bay at Green Bay <\/b>
\nWhat has happened to the Pack? There is no Favre or Lambeau magic this year. The Cadillac leads the league in rushing and continues to motor.
\nPick \u2013 Bucs<\/p>\n
Cleveland at Indianapolis <\/b>
\nThe Browns got their very first win at Lambeau in week 2. Crennel has them playing well, but they will not be able to score enough to win on the road this week.
\nPick \u2013 Colts<\/p>\n
Carolina at Miami <\/b>
\nFox will not let the Panthers forget about the week 1 lapse against the Saints. The Dolphins offense will continue to struggle, led by Frerrotte and with no run support from Ronnie Brown (who is averaging 2.7 yard per carry).
\nPick \u2013 Panthers<\/p>\n
New Orleans at Minnesota <\/b>
\nThe road-weary Saints come into Minnesota on a short week and their nomadic tendencies will hand Tice a much-needed victory.
\nPick \u2013 Vikings<\/p>\n
Jacksonville at New York Jets <\/b>
\nDonovin Darius is lost for the season and Leftwich is nicked, but so is Curtis Martin. Look for Fred Taylor to have a big day.
\nPick \u2013 Jaguars<\/p>\n
Oakland at Philadelphia <\/b>
\nIn what will be the showdown between Moss and Owens, Owens will prove he is the better receiver with help from McNabb and the Egirls defense.
\nPick \u2013 Egirls<\/p>\n
Tennessee at St. Louis <\/b>
\nThe Titans may have shut down the Ravens\u2019 offense, but they will not have as much success against the Rams\u2019 offense.
\nPick \u2013 Rams<\/p>\n
Dallas at San Francisco <\/b>
\nAs tempting as it is, and as happy as it would make Redskin fans, there is just no way to pick the 9ers this week.
\nPick \u2013 Pukes<\/p>\n
Arizona at Seattle <\/b>
\nShaun Alexander will have a big day and open things up for Hasselbeck, Jackson and Engram.
\nPick \u2013 Seahawks<\/p>\n
New England at Pittsburgh <\/b>
\nAlthough it is early, the simple truth is that one team is having success running the ball, and the other is not.
\nPick \u2013 Steelers<\/p>\n
New York Giants at San Diego <\/b>
\nThis is more of a wishful pick than anything else, but this is the week the Chargers must get it together.
\nPick \u2013 Chargers<\/p>\n
Kansas City at Denver <\/b>
\nCan someone tell me how the Broncos are favored in this game? The Chiefs have twice the talent on both sides of the ball and should win easily.
\nPick – Chiefs<\/p>\n
Last Week\u2019s Results: <\/b>\t10-6
\nSeason to Date: <\/b>\t17-15<\/p>\n
