It looks like the AFC North is 3-0 so far today! Bengals stopped the Packers on a big fourth down while GB was in the red zone, Ravens dominated the Texans and shut them out in the second half, and the Browns beat the Vikings with Hoyer. Can the Steelers beat the undefeated Bears tonight?

The Packers have problems. Serious problems.

The Packers have problems. Serious problems.

The reasons why Cincinnati beat us
1. McCarthy traded his play book for a boneheaded one
2. Rodgers was off today
3. Bengals D played dirty
4. Injuries
5. Ross muffed kickoff to allow a Bengal TD

Detroit's first franchise win AT DC!

Why did I change picks again? Can't believe I put trust in the LOLskins.

[GreenMonkeys#1]

The Vikings lost at home TO THE BROWNS!

[PurpleParrot319]

Wow. Of the games that are completed today, I've only got three right. This has been a bad week for me. At this rate, the Jags will beat the Seahawks. XD

[The Red Jaguars]

I am 6-4 right now. I am not choosing the Giants again when they play a good team. I got the Vikings, Rams, and Chargers wrong also. In fact, this is the first time the Titans beat the Chargers in a long time IIRC.

Seahawks win 45-17. Good, I'm still in.

[PurpleParrot319]

Holy shit! 14 games in this week and I've only got 5 of them right. Is it week 4 yet?

[GreenMonkeys#1]

The awkward moment when the Jets have a better record.... than 5 of the 6 NFC Playoff teams from last year.

[PurpleParrot319]

Damn, now we're 0-3. Is it 2014 yet? At this rate, Ryan Clark's statement about us going 0-16 if we keep playing like this might come true.

[The Red Jaguars]

Who thought it was a good idea to put the Raiders/Broncos on MNF? I know they have a historic rivalry, but that hasn't been relevant in a long time. Of course, Denver is steamrolling Oakland. They should've used MNF for like the Colts/Niners or Bengals/Packers game. 

[The Red Jaguars]

Time to move onto Week 4! Now we are getting into the point in the season where teams will take their bye week. The Packers and Panthers are on a bye this week. We will also be done with 25% of the season after this week.

Thursday:
San Francisco 49ers @ St. Louis Rams (The 49ers can't afford to drop to 1-3 and almost lose both games to the Rams like last year. I like the Niners for this game even though the Rams could pull it off)

Sunday:
Baltimore Ravens @ Buffalo Bills (Sorry TSM, but I don't see Buffalo beating Baltimore's defense with a rookie QB. Although I am kind of nervous about this game)
Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns (Hopefully they don't struggle like the Vikings did)
New York Giants @ Kansas City Chiefs (I don't trust the Giants anymore, and the Chiefs are very good at home)
Arizona Cardinals @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (I don't trust the Bucs either, and the Cards have played better football)
Chicago Bears @ Detroit Lions (The Bears look better on both sides of the football)
Indianapolis Colts @ Jacksonville Jaguars (Should be an easy win for the Colts, but they did lose to them last year...)
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Minnesota Vikings (I guess this is the first week PP319's team gets a win)
New York Jets @ Tennessee Titans (Jets are so overrated)
Washington Redskins @ Oakland Raiders (I am not sure what to think of either team)
Philadelphia Eagles @ Denver Broncos (Broncos dominate as usual)
Dallas Cowboys @ San Diego Chargers (They are not too shabby at home)
New England Patriots @ Atlanta Falcons (Both teams are not the same teams as last year, and the Falcons are very injured. Dropping to 1-3 will be bad too)

Monday
Miami Dolphins @ New Orleans Saints (Would be awesome if the Dolphins pull the win off, but the Saints look much better this year)

[PurpleParrot319]

I'll go ahead and post my picks as well.

Thursday:
San Francisco 49ers @ St. Louis Rams (I was tempted to pick the Rams due to it being a home game, but I don't see the 49ers falling to 1-3)

Sunday:
Baltimore Ravens @ Buffalo Bills (I was also tempted to pick the Bills for the same reason, but they have a rookie QB and it's against the Ravens)
Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns (upset special! Divisional game in Cleveland after a hard fought win, I think the Browns pull off another one)
New York Giants @ Kansas City Chiefs (0 faith in the Giants this year. They suck)
Arizona Cardinals @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (I don't see this as being an upset. Both teams suck. I picked Tampa because of home field advantage)
Chicago Bears @ Detroit Lions (once again, I originally had the Lions winning. It will probably bite me in the ass again)
Indianapolis Colts @ Jacksonville Jaguars (......I was TEMPTED to pick the Jags here. Why do I get the feeling they'll pull off a stunner?)
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Minnesota Vikings (a London game with two 0-3 teams. I think the Steelers are slightly better. I better think that!)
New York Jets @ Tennessee Titans (think about it. The winner here will be 3-1 or 2-1-1 if a tie. After 4 games, it's crazy to think that! Home game)
Washington Redskins @ Oakland Raiders (I just CAN'T trust the Skins anymore, plus it's a long away game for them)
Philadelphia Eagles @ Denver Broncos (call me crazy, but this is my survivor pick. I'm not confident in the Eagles, at all)
Dallas Cowboys @ San Diego Chargers (I honestly believe the Cowboys are better than everyone thinks right now. It was a tough pick though)
New England Patriots @ Atlanta Falcons (I do NOT see the Falcons going 1-3. They're too good for that to happen. The Pats haven't been impressive)

Monday
Miami Dolphins @ New Orleans Saints (wow, the Saints look really good this year. Two comeback teams of the year, but the Saints are better)

[PurpleParrot319]

Also, the Raiders put up 21 against the Broncos. They technically held the Broncos to two possessions. That's actually not bad for a team that was supposed to be completely blown out in Denver. Terrell Pryor isn't looking too bad. I can see him and this offense eating up RG3 and the Skins in Oakland. The long travel hurts too. If Oakland wins, then (call me crazy, but...) this might be a surprise team to watch. Their win against the Jags wasn't that impressive, but they gave the Colts a scare too. This might be a sleeper team.
