The Blanket's Tentative Week #3 NFL Picks

After an 8-2 week ATS and 14-1 straight up NFL week #3 looks pretty tasty to me. Here are some of The Blanket's early picks:

Falcons -4 over the Chiefs- The Falcons are at home and the Chiefs are hot garbage. The Falcons showed no quit in them against Tampa Bay. Matt Ryan is growing, Mike Smith has this team playing hard, Micheal Turner is a beast, he will run for 250 yards. Kansas City's run defense is similar to my dating life, they dont have one!

Bills -9 1/2 over the Raiders- The Bills are for real and they are at home, this game could get ugly real early, don't be afraid to load up on this one.

Bears -3 over the Bucs- Bears are a decent team and they take this one at home. Bucs are beat up and are depleted at WR. Griese is medicore at best, and Atlanta gift wrapped that game in week #2. Bears cover.

Panthers +4 at Minniesota- Steve Smith is back, Delhomme looks solid and the Panthers D is tough. I am not sold on the Vikings, Jackson is struggling and their receivers dont like to catch footballs, I dont care how good the defense is, if you cant score you cant win.

49ers-4 at home to the Lions- Im on the fence with this pick, but the 49ers are pretty tough at home, the Lions can score points and they can also give them up.

Chargers -9 1/2 at home to the Jets- Chargers are 0 and 2, they will put up big points on the Jets to prevent a last second score by Favre. Jets were a 4 and 10 team last year and were unimpressive against a garbage Dolphins team. Chargers D needs to step it up, they have had about 70 pts hung on them, even though it was by two good teams.

Look for updates to my picks throughout the week.
