NFL Pickin' & Grinnin', Week 3

by Rafael Vela on Sep 26, 2009 9:11 PM CDT

Ah, week two is always harder than week one. The real trends begin to emerge. This week I make a plea to the Bengals, my Bengals, for forgiveness. I picked them to make the playoffs. And they showed maybe they'll be a surprise team by beating the Packers in Lambeau.

So why didn't I pick them, then? (Cowers at the stony look from the Bengals which says, "right! Don't call us 'your Bengals' if you're not going to be true!")

This week, I show them some love:

playing the hunches this week.

I got the Lions, Rams and Bengals winning this week. If they lose, I look like a turkey. But if they win…

My little bro is a Rams fans.

I feel for him and always hope they can pull one out on any given week. Steven Jackson can tear it up, but Green Bay’s secondary just loves to break games open with pick-6s. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Woodson & Co. get one today.

Man that cheerleader must be a Wisconsin native, she is a solid 10 on the "lilith" scale for pale as a ghost (I'd still hit it).

Hey Raf, your Bengals? What happened to Dallas?

What?

I picked Cincy to be one of my annual loser-to-playoffs teams

along with Seattle and Green Bay. Hasselbeck’s injury is making Seattle look bad but I like the other two.

Cincy is a fluke Brandon Stokely catch from 3-0. Hence, “my Bengals.” Who else picked them for the playoffs? Now, it’s only week three but who else gave them a shot?

Funny..I was gonna pick the Lions just to go against what I thought Dave and Raf would pick.

Plus, after losing 19 in a row, the Lions have to win sometime, right?

Nobody picked the Bucs?

Dangit!

Picking the Bucs

I think this game will actually reveal a little about Dallas. If the Bucs play close or even win, then it might validate the opinion I have about folks over-reacting to the Giant lost. In those big game type atmosphere, one club or another always seems to make mistakes. That is not a true reflection of where that team is, except for that game. So go Bucs kick the crap out of the GI ants or at least make their day miserable. LOL
