Last week: 24 (-2) Philip Rivers is enjoying a resurgent season this year, completing 70.0% of his passes for an average of 8.0 YPA, 8 touchdowns, and 1 interception. This is despite the fact that he doesn’t really have a lot to work with in terms of receivers, offensive linemen,…

Last week: 27 How do you lose to a team that commits 20 penalties? Justin Rogers played one of the worst games by a defensive back in recent memory, getting torched with ease by Geno Smith, no matter whether he was covering Stephen Hill or Santonio Holmes. The 2011 7th…

Last week: 26 (-2) Every game, Josh Freeman looks more and more like a lame duck quarterback. He’s completing 45.7% of his passes for an average of 6.1 YPA, 2 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions this season. In his last 8 games, he’s completed 174 of 356 (48.8%) for 2210 yards…

Last week: 30 (+1) Poor Browns. They can’t even tank right. Brian Hoyer became the first quarterback to throw for 3 touchdowns in a game for the Browns since Brady Quinn in 2009, while punter Shane Lanning also threw a touchdown, giving him as many as Brandon Weeden has this…

Last week: 28 (-2) The Jaguars might have “won” the Teddy Bridgewater bowl when they lost to the Raiders week 2, but the Vikings might have “won” the Tajh Boyd bowl by losing to the Browns last week. It’ll be interesting to see if they actually pull the trigger on…

Last week: 31 The Raiders got a win against the Jaguars week 2, but things were back to normal in week 3 as they got blown out by the Broncos. Even the final score of 37-21 doesn’t tell how big of a blowout it was. The Broncos had 31 first…

Last week: 32 Give the Jaguars credit. They almost covered the spread as 19 point underdogs in the first half. And yeah, they drafted a punter over Russell Wilson, but he was used 7 times against the Seahawks, while Russell Wilson was sitting on the bench by the middle of…

WR Santonio Holmes (NY Jets) Percent owned (ESPN): 8.8% In his 3rd game back from injury, Santonio Holmes caught 5 passes for 154 yards and a touchdown, showing great rapport with Geno Smith. His quarterback situation isn’t ideal and he’s not the most reliable receiver anyway, but he could be…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears at Pittsburgh Steelers: 2013 Week 3 NFL Pick
Chicago Bears (2-0) at Pittsburgh Steelers (0-2) I tweeted before Pittsburgh/Cincinnati that I could see the loser of the game still making the playoffs after starting 0-2 and I still feel Pittsburgh could sneak in, even after losing. It was a pretty competitive game either way. If David Paulson doesn’t…

Arizona Cardinals (1-1) at New Orleans Saints (2-0) The way young players have stepped up on what was previously a horrible defense has to be very exciting for Saints fans. Cameron Jordan, back at his collegiate position for 5-technique end, is playing like one of the best in the game,…
