Wunkle’s Picks for Week Three . . . Sunday and Monday Only

Okay, so I’m a little late to make a pick for the Thursday night game where the Giants showed the entire world how weak the NFC East really is. I think I can live with that and move on to the rest of the games.

Falcons at Cowboys: Dallas is now missing both Dez Bryant and Tony Romo, which means that former Cleveland Brown Brandon Weeden will get the starting nod at QB. I don’t even need to think twice about this one. Weeden will throw at least one pick-6 as the Falcons get outta Dodge with a road win. Matty Ice goes off big time. Falcons 24-Cowboys 13

Colts at Titans: The Cleveland Browns defense proved two things last week – (1) Marcus Mariota is indeed human and (2) the Tennessee defense is really bad.  This is the perfect recipe for Andrew Luck to get the Colts off the snide and get a road win. Colts 38-Titans 17

Bungles at Ratbirds: I’ll be rooting for attrition in this game, but Baltimore will not lose at home against Cincinnati. Baltimore 31-Cincinnati 23.

Jaguars at Patriots: No Brainer here, the Pats could start Jimmy Garoppolo at QB and still win this game by two touchdowns.

Saints at Panthers: Starting QB Drew Brees is hurt (but may still play) and the Panthers can play enough defense to keep the New Orleans offense in check. Panthers in a close one.

Eagles at Jets: The evil genius Chip Kelly’s offense is struggling because their O-line is in disarray. Rookie head coach Todd Bowles gets the J-E-T-S off to a 3-0 start. Jets 34 – Eagles 13

Buccaneers at Texans: Houston DE JJ Watt could score TD’s from both sides of the football in this one. Tampa is pathetic and Houston is barely average, but the Texans get a much needed win at home. Texans 42 – Bucs 9

Chargers at Vikings: Historically West coast teams don’t play well enough to win when playing at 1:00PM Eastern Time. Teddy Touchdown goes off as the Vikes win at home. Vikings 27 – Chargers 20

Steelers at Rams: Barring Ben Roethlisberger breaking a leg early in the first quarter, the Stool Samples are going to roll in this game. Steelers 31 – Rams 13

49ers at Cardinals: The Niners aren’t what they used to be and Carson Palmer will throw at least two touchdowns as the Cards defend their home turf. Cardinals 31 – 49ers 16

Bills at Dolphins: Rex Ryan will be out to prove that last week was a fluke as the Bills get a road win. Bills 27 – Dolphins 24

Bears at Seahawks: Russell Wilson will realize that these aren’t the 1985 Bears they’re playing. Seahawks roll in a laugher 49-6.

Broncos at Lions: Peyton Manning will get his second road win in a row. Broncos 34 – Lions 23

Chiefs at Packers: Aaron Rodgers will remind the Kansas City defense that he’s an elite QB in this league. Packers 38 – Chiefs 28

Raiders at Browns: This one has the potential of being the shortest game in NFL history if Josh McCown can string together multiple seventeen play scoring drives without suffering another concussion. Browns 13 – Raiders 10
