Flea Flicker Week 3 Predictions

The NFL season is cruising along. Here's a stab at the Week 3 games.

Oakland Raiders @ Minnesota Vikings
Pick: Vikings
It feels like the Vikings should be 2-0. They aren't. They have to get back to winning.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Buffalo Bills
Pick: Bills
Who are the Bengals? Feisty in Week 1. Pathetic in Week 2. I'm going with the latter. Besides, I think that the Bills can be feisty every week.

Miami Dolphins @ Dallas Cowboys
Pick: Cowboys
I'm not sure why the Dolphins haven't already been relegated to the XFL. What they're doing is pathetic.

Denver Broncos @ Green Bay Packers
Pick: Packers
The Broncos simply haven't shown enough.

Atlanta Falcons @ Indianapolis Colts
Pick: Falcons
I think that both are good teams struggling to figure out who they are. I think that the Falcons are closer to figuring that out simply because they didn't have their franchise quarterback retire in August.

Baltimore Ravens @ Kansas City Chiefs
Pick: Ravens
Will this be much like the explosive Chiefs-Rams game of a year ago? Despite Patrick Mahomes' magical ability to do what needs to be done I like the ability of the Ravens defense to get a few more stops than the Chiefs defense.

New York Jets @ New England Patriots
Pick: Patriots
This game might've been kinda fun if Sam Darnold was playing in it.

Detroit Lions @ Philadelphia Eagles
Pick: Eagles
The Eagles are starting to look like a MASH unit. Or the Los Angeles Chargers. I think that they still have enough to hold off the Lions at home.

Carolina Panthers @ Arizona Cardinals
Pick: Panthers
Kyler Murray looks like he's scared to get hit. I have a tough time picking a team led by a quarterback that's as scared to get hit as he appears to be.

New York Giants @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Pick: Buccaneers
The Daniel Jones era with the Giants begins.

Houston Texans @ Los Angeles Chargers
Pick: Chargers
Just going with the home team.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ San Francisco 49ers
Pick: 49ers
Wins against the Buccaneers and Bengals have 49ers fans thinking Super Bowl. It doesn't take much for 49ers fan to jack up their dreams. I'd like to see the Steelers tap down those dreams a bit but I have difficulty picking them with Mason Rudolph making his first start.

New Orleans Saints @ Seattle Seahawks
Pick: Saints
Teddy Time!

Los Angeles Rams @ Cleveland Browns
Pick: Rams
Just because of the ridiculous hype throughout the offseason I'm kinda enjoying this stumbling start by the Browns.

Chicago Bears @ Washington Redskins
Pick: Bears
I'm thinking that the Bears defense does the scoring in this game.
