Week 3 NFL Picks 2014

So last week I tried something new. I went with my head and less with my heart. Yeah that didn’t work so well. I actually did worse. 9-7. However, I was right out of the 4 games that all the “experts” all chose one team to win the (NO-CLE STL-TB SEA-SD KC-DEN) two won two lost including the highly favored Seattle. So this week I’m sticking with my winning formula….my heart. Last year I was 80% right going with my gut. I was 9-7 last week. Here’s our Week 3 NFL Picks.

 

(Note – 1 person didn’t make a pick from ESPN so there are only 11 picks from ESPN)

Thursday Night

7:25 pm CBS 0-2 Tampa Bay Buccs @ Atlanta Falcons

ESPN – all 11 chose Atlanta

Vegas – Even

Me – St. Louis

 

FOX 1-1 Washington @ 2-0 Philadelphia Eagles

ESPN – 11 Philadelphia / 1 Washington

The Machine – Philadelphia

Vegas – Philadelphia -6.5

Even though I’m picking Philly I have a sneaking suspicion Washington might pull this one out. If I’m right next week will all go by heart.

The Machine – Houston

Vegas – Houston -2.5

Division rivals and one will walk away with a losing record. I’m picking the pack to win. The defense really picked up the pace last weekend.

Vegas – Indianapolis -7

Me – Indianapolis

 

CBS 0-2 Oakland Raiders @ 1-1 New England Patriots

Sunday Afternoon and Sunday Night Games

3:05 PM Fox 1-1 San Francisco 49ers @ 2-0 Arizona Cardinals

3:25 PM CBS 2-0 Denver Broncos @ 1-1 Seattle Seahawks

ESPN – all 11 chose the Seahawks

As much as I want Peyton Manning to go to Seatlle and beat the Seahawks I just think that they feel they have something to prove and the crowd is going to be really into it to get the team back to a winning record. If the Broncos can overcome that then I’ll be happy to be wrong.
