Week 3 preview

Things to watch for.

Michael Vick. How much does he play in an actual game and how effective is he? I think he will be ok, but he will not be what everyone remembers.

I got to this a little late this week because I stayed up late watching UW lose to Stanford. Gotta play better than that boys. Also watched USC beat WSU. Needed a bigger butt kicking than that on the Cougars.

Here we go.

Game of the Week: Patriots vs. Falcons. This is a statement game for both teams. Atlanta is finally on the road and playing a team that has arguably been the best in the league this decade. Can Matt Ryan and company go into Foxboro and cause the Pats to lose consecutive games for the first time in 41 games? Will the Pats begin to look like the Pats of old? I will say I expect somewhat of a shootout if Randy Moss and Wes Welker play. They are both banged up and could miss the game. The Golden Boy vs. the future Golden Boy? Maybe. I will pick the Patriots because I just think they will come out and have a game plan ready to go that is too much for Atlanta at the end of the day.

Worst game of the week: Broncos vs. Raiders. I think this is just a bad game. It will be a boring one to watch if you have to. Unfortunately it is the only afternoon game I have going on here. What about this game excites you? Denver possibly going 3-0? If you're a Bronco fan maybe.

Lock of the week: New York Giants will beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I don't think there is much to explain. I know the G-Men are beat up a little, but the Bucs are that bad. The only positive thing they have going is Cadillac and he is banged up.

Upset of the week: I am picking Detroit to upset the Redskins and get their first win in 20 tries. I just think that Detroit's offense is getting better and has shown more than Washington's. Detroit is better than St. Louis and Washington barely escaped that one with a win. Also, Clinton Portis is banged up and he is the only thing they have going offensively.

I also believe Cincinnati will beat Pittsburgh, but not as confident as Detroit over Washington. I think that Cincy has more going offensively than Pittsburgh and their D has been actually better than the Steelers by the numbers. I am torn because I want Cincy to win but I have Pittsburgh's D on my fantasy team.

Enjoy the games.
