Week 3

Game	Result	Franco's Predictions	Day	Time	Network
New York Giants at Carolina Panthers	New York 36 Carolina 7	Giants will be without David Diehl, Ahmad Bradshaw and Domenick Hixon this week. Hakeem Nicks is also banged up. The speed of the Panthers could be an issue for the Giant LBs. If Big Blue can get to Cam Newton, they should win.	Thur, Sept 20	8:20pm	NFLN
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Dallas Cowboys	Tampa Bay 10 Dallas 16	Both teams are coming off of tough losses. The Cowboys should pick themselves up and get the win at home.	Sun, Sept 23	1:00pm	Fox
St. Louis Rams at Chicago Bears	St. Louis 6 Chicago 23	Even without Matt Forte, the Bears should win this game.	Sun, Sept 23	1:00pm	Fox
San Francisco 49ers at Minnesota Vikings	San Francisco 13 Minnesota 24	San Francisco has been playing like the best team in football. I am sticking with them.	Sun, Sept 23	1:00pm	Fox
Detroit Lions at Tennessee Titans	Detroit 41 Tennessee 44 (OT)	I have seen nothing positive out of Tennessee. The Lions win in a rout.	Sun, Sept 23	1:00pm	Fox
Cincinnati Bengals at Washington Redskins	Cincinnati 38 Washington 31	This is a very intriguing game. RGIII in his home debut. The crowd will be insane, and it gives the 'Skins the edge.	Sun, Sept 23	1:00pm	CBS
Kansas City Chiefs at New Orleans Saints	Kansas City 27 New Orleans 24 (OT)	The Saints have been struggling, but they will get on track against the Chiefs.	Sun, Sept 23	1:00pm	CBS
New York Jets at Miami Dolphins	New York 23 Miami 20 (OT)	Miami looked great last week against the Raiders, and Ryan Tannehill looks like he is the real deal. But the Jets will get to the kid and cause mistakes. Jets win.	Sun, Sept 23	1:00pm	CBS
Buffalo Bills at Cleveland Browns	Buffalo 24 Cleveland 14	Bills offense was clicking last week, and it will keep on going against the Browns. CJ Spiller is not giving this RB job back.	Sun, Sept 23	1:00pm	CBS
Jacksonville Jaguars at Indianapolis Colts	Jacksonville 22 Indianapolis 17	Andrew Luck arrived last week, and he should carve up the Jags at home.	Sun, Sept 23	1:00pm	CBS
Philadelphia Eagles at Arizona Cardinals	Philadelphia 6 Arizona 27	Kevin Kolb goes up against his old team this week. The Eagles have won 2 ugly games by 1 point each. They win by more that a TD this week in the desert.	Sun, Sept 23	4:05pm	Fox
Atlanta Falcons at San Diego Chargers	Atlanta 27 San Diego 3	Falcons have been playing great ball so far this season. The Chargers are still just an "eh" team for me. So give me the Falcons.	Sun, Sept 23	4:05pm	Fox
Houston Texans at Denver Broncos	Houston 31 Denver 25	This might be the game of the week. Can Peyton bounce back against the Texans? I don't think so. Houston's defense is one of the best in the league.	Sun, Sept 23	4:15pm	CBS
Pittsburgh Steelers at Oakland Raiders	Pittsburgh 31 Oakland 34	Oakland is just brutal. I don't think I can pick them in a game this season. Especially after getting crushed by Miami. Steelers win this one big.	Sun, Sept 23	4:15pm	CBS
New England Patriots at Baltimore Ravens	New England 30 Baltimore 31	Both teams are coming off of losses in games they should have won. Ravens are an angrier bunch, so I am taking them at home.	Sun, Sept 23	8:20pm	NBC
Green Bay Packers at Seattle Seahawks	Green Bay 12 Seattle 14	Seattle looked awesome at home, and Russell Wilson looks like he can play in the league. But the Packers are a great team, and while the crowd will make it tough, GB will come out on top.	Mon, Sept 24	8:30pm	ESPN
