Mark's week 3 picks
Last week 4-3
Season 6-8
I went 4-3 should have went 5-2. How Green Bay lost to the Vikes is beyond me. Sam Bradford had 8 days to learn the offense- 8!!! The Vikes couldn't run the ball because their line is terrible and AP got hurt. Didn't matter I still lost- ugh!! well try to do better this week.
Hou (-2.5) at New England- I know it's in Foxboro and it's against Coach Belicheck but it's a 3rd string rookie. You still need the horses to win the Kentucky Derby. The Pats line is banged up as well . This sets up well for the visiting Texans. JJ Watt and JaDaveon Clowney should own the line of scrimmage.
Pitt (-4) at Philly- One of the best teams in the league travels across the state to take on rookie Carson Wentz. Wentz has been impressive, but the Steelers are a much different animal than the Bears or Browns. The loss of all pro lineman Lane Johnson hurts the Eagles o-line. Antonio Brown is due for a big week- mainly because I'm playing him in my fantasy league. The zone blitz of Pittsburgh could cause some turnovers. Give me the Steelers
Car (-7.5) vs Minn- The Vikings have lost AP and their starting tackle Matt Kalil. A bad o-line gets worse. Sam Bradford did well in his Vikings debut but he['s not very mobile and Carolina's front four should own the line of scrimmage. I think the Vikes defense gets worn down and Cam and the Panthers pull away.
GB (-8) vs Det- The Packers offense should rebound. Detroit has a banged up defense losing Levy and Ansah and the retirement of Wr Calvin Johnson is a welcome site for Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers. Jordy Nelson continues to get better and Aaron Rodgers is due for a big game. Packers roll at Lambeau.
Dal (-7.5) vs Chi- Chicago's is banged up on both sides of the ball- especially on the line. Trying to stop Zeke Elliott and the Cowboys all pro offensive line seems unlikely. I think the Cowboys control the line of scrimmage and run at will. Dak Prescott has poise of a savvy veteran and is due to connect with Dez Bryant. For the Bears 2nd year wr Kevin White is very raw and not ready. Give me Dallas at home.
