VS 
POROPAT
The Bills looked shockingly good against the Pats, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it was mostly because of them exploiting a weak Patriots defense. The Jets, on the other hand, were able to man handle the Fins offensively and should have no problem against the Bills.
Jets win, 24-13.

RHOADES
The Bills will go right back in the terrible column after a surprisingly good game against New England. The Jets will be too much to handle however
Jets win, 24-14
___________________________________________________________
POROPAT
This should be an interesting game, but CJ2k will be too much to handle for the Broncos. This will show a lot about both of these teams and how far we can expect them to go.
Titans win, 24-17.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Titans will look to get Chris Johnson into the 30 carries a game mark yet again when they take out the Broncos. The Broncos offense has looked good with Orton running it however.
Titans win, 21-10
___________________________________________________________
VS 
(2-1-0) (0-3-0)
POROPAT
The Bengals have beaten the Panthers, which means they beat who they should beat. They did look impressive against the Ravens, but haven't shown much otherwise. The Browns, who are 0-3, have a clutch to relay on now with their running game putting up huge numbers. They should be able to exploit this. I am going to take the Bengals (for now) but let me state that I will not be surprised if the Browns beat the Bengals at least once this year.
Bengals win, 24-20.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Bengals have too much firepower to let an upset against the Browns happen, although Hillis looked real good against the Ravens last week.
Bengals win, 24-21
___________________________________________________________
VS
(0-3-0) (2-1-0)
POROPAT
The Saints should come off a bad loss and dominate the Panthers. The Panthers haven't shown any signs of getting any better, and the Saints should put themselves in a position to get 1st place in the south back.
Saints win, 34-13.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Saints havnt looked all that impressive this year, nearly losing to the Vikings and 49ers and then losing to the Falcons last week. They will get back on track against a terrible Panther team this week however.
Saints win, 27-14.
___________________________________________________________
VS
(2-1-0) (3-0-0)
POROPAT
This might be the game of the week. What a matchup. the Steelers look like a Superbowl team right now and are arguably considered the best team in the NFL. The Ravens were widely picked to take the division this year, but haven't quite gotten into the swing of things on offense, and against the Steelers isn't a place to start. The Ravens will win the second of these 2 match-ups. But not today.
Steelers win, 19-3.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Ravens will look to stop 3rd string QB Charlie Batch, and should do so pretty easily. This will be a low scoring game between the NFL's best defenses
Ravens win, 6-3.
___________________________________________________________
VS 
(0-3-0) (2-1-0)
POROPAT
The Falcons have proven dominant in the league. The niners are struggling and will most likely continue to struggle and get cause in even more problems. The Falcons should be able to put up some big numbers this week.
Falcons win, 21-17.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Falcons are one of my sleepers to make the Superbowl out of the NFC, so I will take them against a totally defeated 49ers team.
Falcons win, 21-17.
___________________________________________________________
VS 
(2-1-0) (1-2-0)
POROPAT
The Seahawks looked phenomenal once again against the Chargers. I'm hesitant to jump on their band wagon again after what happened during week 2, but I feel confident they can contain the Rams. Sam Bradford has shown significant improvement throughout the year and will most certainly be a franchise quarterback for years to come, but this Seahawks team is very resilient as of late. Should be a good game, and one that could define the division early for the Seahawks if they win.
Seahawks win, 27-10.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Seahawks surprised me last week when they beat the Chargers, and they did it mainly with special teams. They should be able to beat the Rams, who are coming off an impressive win vs the Redskins
Seahawks win, 24-13.
___________________________________________________________
VS 
(0-3-0) (2-1-0)
POROPAT
The Packers looked good last week against the bears, but continued to shoot themselves in the foot and stop them form putting points on the board. However, regardless of last week's outcome, this game should have been a "circle win" game for them which could spell trap game. If they continue to get penalties, they will have a hard time in this game.
Packers win, 20-9.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Packers will get a break if they do not have to face Jahvid Best at 100%, who is an early candidate for ROY. The Packers again did not impress me last week but they are playing the Lions.
Packers win, 17-3.
___________________________________________________________
VS
(2-1-0) (1-2-0)
POROPAT
The Texans took a step back against the Cowboys last week, but are still the team to beat in that division right now, even with the Colts hot on their tail. The Raiders can't seem to get anything but a run game going, and even that will be a problem against the Texans on sunday.
Texans win, 24-10.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Texans were run over in their house against the Cowboys last week, and will look to rebound against a bad Raider team.
Texans win, 28-17.

POROPAT
This is a tough game for me to pick. On the one hand, the Colts are arguably one of the best teams in the league, and have looked great since their week 1 loss. And the Jaguars haven't looked phenomenal this year. However, the Jags almost always give the Colts a hard time, and i am honestly not sure why. Regardless, because the Colts lost a division game already and i assure you are still sour over it, they will not allow it to happen again, at least not this early. I may, however, eat my words....
Colts win, 17-13.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Colts will score 100 points in the passing game alone. The Jags always play them tough though.
Colts win, 100-98.
___________________________________________________________
VS
(1-2-0) (2-1-0)
POROPAT
The Skins have spiraled since their week one victory over the Cowboys, and now the speculation is out that maybe the Skins were that good, maybe the Cowboys were just THAT bad. Regardless, the Eagles have looked rejuvenated since week 1 and should win this game. They are clearly the best team in the division right now. By the way, McNabb is coming back to town, I can hear them booing already.
Eagles win, 28-17.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Vick led Eagles should romp this sorry Redskin team. When the Rams have your number every time they play you, you're bad.
Eagles win, 35-21.
___________________________________________________________
VS 
(2-1-0) (1-2-0)
POROPAT
The Cardinals are still, in my opinion, one of the worst teams in the NFC. The Chargers are off to a slow start (big surprise) but should be able to win the games they are suppose to, unless its against seatle. Regardless, Charges will win this one.
Chargers win, 31-14.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Chargers and Cardinals both havnt looked good, but ill take the AFC team led by Phillip Rivers over the NFC team led by Derek Anderson any day of the week.
Chargers win, 10-7.
__________________________________________________________
VS
(3-0-0) (1-2-0)
POROPAT
The Bears put on an impressive show on Monday night, and are now the only undefeated team in the NFC. The Giants are spiraling out of control and I don't expect a recovery anytime soon. This could get ugly fast. Their only chance is that Cutler goes back to his old habits. There is a reason Alex Rhoades gave cutler the nickname: Jay "all I throw are interceptions" Cutler.
Bears win, 31-10.
Interesting fact: Eli Manning alone has 8 turnovers in just the first 3 games.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Giants only victory has come against the 0-3 Panthers, who might be the worst team in the league. Bears please.
Bears win, 35-17
___________________________________________________________
VS 
(2-1-0) (2-1-0)
POROPAT
The Fins offense finally showed up last week, against a pretty good defense too. If they can put those same numbers up this week and tighten their defense back up, this one could be a huge win. The Pats defense will struggle, as it has, this game and it will haunt them.
Fins win, 34-20.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Patriots will try to pass in Miami, no easy feat, and will have just enough plays out of Randy Moss and Wes Welker to win this game.
Pats win, 24-17.
