PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A REPOSTING OF THIS LAST WEEKEND'S PICK SELECTIONS.
The reason for this repost is very simple:
I experienced a moment of brain freeze and inadvertently posted the wrong team logo on one of bronco-mojo's picks. His original email specified that he had picked the San Diego Chargers to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs. I somehow managed to put the Chiefs' logo beside his choice.
Below is the corrected version of Bronco-mojo's picks. As a result of recognizing the correct pick, Bronco-mojo and Kirk Davis tied with a 10-5 record in the Week 3 Picks.
Bronco-mojo, my most sincere apologies for the mistake. I hope that this reposting of the Weekly Picks will help to alleviate any distress that I may have caused you.
Brian Shrout
And now, onto the picks
Readers | Staffers | |
Last Week | 13-2 | 12-3 |
Season to Date | 23-7 | 18-12 |
Bronco-mojo: Does anybody in Jacksonville scare you? Cam is the man again.
Kirk: Cam Newton gets his 1st NFL win.
Bronco-mojo: Miami wins by default. Cleveland plays, well, like Cleveland.
Kirk: Miami has lost the last three games against Cleveland.
Bronco-mojo: Upset alert! Giants see blood and decide to actuallyget excited to play a division rival.
Kirk: A big division rivalry game that usually ends up with the home team winning each year.
Bronco-mojo: This will be close. In the end, Brees gets it done.
Kirk: With Arian Foster out, Drew Brees controls this game.
Bronco-mojo: I'm riding this motor city brigade for all it's worth. A healthy QB and a stout Def used to be what Minnesota had.
Kirk: Despite the studliness of Adrian Peterson, Matt Stafford has a field day at the Metrodome.
Bronco-mojo: I liked Dalton before the draft. I still like Dalton. He's going to go Road House on someone this season. This might be the game.
Kirk: The Niners are 8-3 all-time against the Bengals.
Bronco-mojo: You can't sneak up on N.E. with an undefeated record. Too much Brady.
Kirk: Are you kidding me? Tom Brady continues to have the hot hand.
Bronco-mojo: Baltimore was going to beat whoever they played this week. Sorry St. Louis but, your Arc has too much bend to contend.
Kirk: Baltimore is too much for a rebuilding St. Louis squad.
Bronco-mojo: A tough physical game is the last thing you want after flying into Oakland. This one's won in the trenches.
Kirk: I'm a Raider Hater, Nuff said.
Bronco-mojo: I'm just giving this to the home team. Really, no other reason. This game will be boring.
Kirk: I'm not going to sugar coat it. The Chargers by two scores.
Bronco-mojo: Boy I wish we still had Seattle in our division. Arizona's benefit.
Kirk: Pete Carroll is all wet in the Northwest. Kolb to Fitzgerald all day long.
Bronco-mojo: Tough call here. Tampa's a tough place to play and Atlanta looks vulnerable. They can't let this one slip away.
Kirk: The best game of the week, IMO. This one could go either way, but I'm sticking with Matty Ice.
Bronco-mojo: GB's secondary has got to be lickin' their chops for Cutler(y) Ha.
Kirk: The 2nd best matchup of the week and another divisional game. Chicago plays tough, but the defending champs get the nod.
Bronco-mojo: No brainer on this one. Collins doesn't make it through the first half.
Kirk: No Peyton, no Colts.
Bronco-mojo: The pain medicine makes Romo a more confident QB. He makes the plays when it counts in this one.
Kirk: The Cowboys are 17-4 at home against the Redskins since 1990. Washington has the better record and Dallas is the more injured team, but I think this is the upset of the week and the Cowboys prevail.
