    Week 3 - picking every game

    I'm not - repeat not - betting every game, this is just a bit of fun. In other words, the reasons given for the picks are not always true. All lines are taken from footballlocks.com at the time of posting.

    That said, here are the words of wisdom:

    Bengals -2.5 over 49ers
    If I was the sort of idiot who posts pictures of dancing padlocks, this is the game that would have pictures of dancing padlocks. But I'm a different kind of idiot.

    Patriots -7 @ Buffalo
    Harvardite Ryan Fitzpatrick is smart enough to know this just isn't going to be his day.

    Saints -4 over Texans
    Saints benefit from having been at home since the 9th of September

    NYG +8.5 @ Eagles
    Is anyone else irritated by Eli Manning's weird bulbous helmet? (FOOTBALL helmet).

    Dolphins +2 @ Browns
    Remember, Dolphins are mammals not fish.

    Titans -7 over Broncos
    Pick based on the assumption that Chris Johnson actually goes for more than 2 yards per carry this week

    Lions -3 @ Vikings
    It irks me that a TV series filmed in my home town pretends to be set in Minnesota, so screw you, twin cities.

    Panthers -3.5 over Jaguars
    I don't think even the so-far disappointing Carolina 'D' can help Jags

    Chiefs +14.5 @ Chargers
    Chiefs' entire gameplan will surely be damage limitation. Chargers not known for efficiency.

    Raiders +3 over Jets
    It's raining flags!

    Ravens -5 @ Rams
    Baltimore play hard due to resentment that Rams have a zodiac sign named after them and Ravens don't, yet.

    Buccaneers -1.5 over Falcons
    I just don't have faith in Falcons.

    Cardinals -3.5 @ Seahawks
    'Twelfth man' is arguably Seattle's best player

    Packers -4 @ Bears
    Will Bears abandon the run this week because Martz can't help himself or because they're behind?

    Steelers -10.5 @ Colts
    As I said last week, oppose the Colts until the QB comes home.

    Redskins +4.5 over Cowboys
    Can Romo possibly be in game-shape after a punctured frigging LUNG?

    Season so far:
    A disappointing 7-7-2 performance last week leaves me 17-11-3 in total.

    Reversing the Monday night pick - I had the Redskins at home for some reason.

    So Limey, how long you been following footballlocks.com? I do not see any history on their website, do you have any documented results from previous years? Good job this week! Hope the Dallas play hits, I am on that one too!

    Hi Hayman,

    I don't follow footballlocks at all, I just use their site for the latest lines. I don't even know what the site is (are they handicappers?), it's just a site that came up on google for a list of NFL lines.

    Regards,

    L

    Okay, no problem, misunderstood your post. I never saw their site until you mentioned it, looks like they sell plays as does everyone You're not doing too bad even if it is for fun!

    My 'picking every game' thread (I've done it every week for about three seasons I think) is just for fun, but my actual bets are always posted in this forum as well. I'm only 8-6 for the season so far (Sunday's winners were Saints -4, Dolphins +2.5, Dolphins/Browns U41, Buccaneers -1.5, loser was Cincinnati on money line).
