Week 3 Quick Picks in Review

See below for original predictions

Kansas City @ Atlanta -- Nailed it.

Oakland @ Buffalo -- In the end, Oakland's dysfunctional ways did catch up to them. They managed the game terribly at the end and were not able to put any pressure on Trent Edwards. However, I was surprised that it was Buffalo that was in the deep hole. Fortunately, they came out of it.

Tampa Bay @ Chicago -- I was right about it being a toss-up and Chicago SHOULD have won. I'm going to consider myself half right.

Carolina @ Minnesota -- I didn't see Minnesota's defense so completely dominating Carolina in the second half. Kudos, Vikings D.

Miami @ New England -- I can be forgiven for this one because nobody really expected Miami to pull it off. How was I supposed to know that Miami would throw in the Wildcat formation and Ronnie Brown would account for five TDs?

Cincinnati @ NY Giants -- Called it right but Palmer and the Bengals offense played surprisingly well. It was nice to see Cincinnati in the game until the very end.

Houston @ Tennessee -- Nailed it.

Arizona @ Washington -- I should have used my own rule here. Toss-ups go to the home team. I knew this would be close and indeed it was. Jason Campbell is looking right now.

New Orleans @ Denver -- Nailed it.

Detroit @ San Francisco -- Nailed it.

St. Louis @ Seattle -- Nailed it, but Seattle had an easier go of it than I expected.

Cleveland @ Baltimore -- Joe Flacco wasn't particularly competent, but he didn't have to be. Baltimore just ran it down their throats, and Derek Anderson was much worse than Flacco.

Jacksonville @ Indianapolis -- Nailed it.

Pittsburgh @ Philadelphia -- Nailed it. Pittsburgh can't stand up to a good pass rush and it cost them dearly.

Dallas @ Green Bay -- I did not realize how good Dallas really is. They just dominated Green Bay. Clearly, they are the best team in the league at this point.

NY Jets @ San Diego -- Nailed it.
