Jibba's Week 3 NFL

[Jibba]

First time doing this so don't feel bad telling me how horrible my picks are. On the season (NFL) I am 5-3 (7-4-1 including NCAA) and am up $33.36 including juice (up $58.36 including NCAA).

Chi -3 @ Minn. Given, the Bears have not beaten anyone good yet ... but they've looked extremely solid. I don't particularly like the Vikes' offense, and against this defense I really don't see them doing anything at all. Add to this Minnesota's loss of 4 defensive players and I think that the Bears' offense might even look as good as they did last week, even though we all know they're not that good.

Atl -3 @ NO. I know a lot of people are jumping on the NO bandwagon, but I'm not buying it. I'm also not buying the home field thing. Maybe I'm wrong, but I've never known NO to be a tough place to play in for visiting opponents and I just don't see it coming through for them. Atlanta is going to run all over the Saints and win by 10 IMO.

Philly -6 @ SF. I agree with those who think the line would be much higher if not for Philly's implosion Sunday. While they're not a great team, they're far and away better than SF and I think they're going to pull out all the stops to get their season back on track in a game they should win handily. Westbrook is going to run all over SF's D and I think McNabb should have a good day against a secondary that's allowed 6 TDs already.

NYJ +6 @ Buffalo. I've seen both of these teams so far (against the Pats) and I don't think the Bills are nearly as ready for prime time as some would like to think. The Jets showed me last week that they do not give up. And I'm back on board in thinking Pennington will be a QB teams have to worry about as long as his WRs can give him opportunities. I can't go as far as say I think the Jets will win SU, but at very least I think this will be a hard-fought divisional game decided by a FG.

Because of a mixup with the BetWWTS promo, I was given a free 2 team parlay to win $50, so I'll post that here as well.

Balt -6.5 @ Clev & Chi -3 @ Minn. I'm not going to lie ... I'm a little nervous with all my money riding on road favorites (other than the Jets ... a road dog). I've already given my unimpressive views on the Bears, and I think Baltimore is self-explanatory.
