NFL week 3 prediction results

Hello folks, Garfield here. Week 3 turned out to be not as hard as predicted. The overall results was:

Without the spread 12 wins 2 loss
With the spread 10 wins 2 loss 2 ties

The season results so far are 34 wins 11 losses

Here are the results of each game:

• Prediction:
  W/O spread BUF
  W/Spread NYJ
  Score BUF 17 - NYJ 12
  Result: NYJ 28 - BUF 20
  Seems that the New York Jets found their offensive game just in time to out duel an amazing Bills team. With a 300 yard passer and a 150 yard rusher it is hard to believe that the Bills lost this one. Oh well, so the rubber ball bounces when trying to figure out football winners. The good news though, is that this is the only bad news.
• Prediction: CIN 24 - PIT 21
  Result: CIN 28 - PIT 20
  Big Ben still looks a little wobbly but gaining confidence with each throw. Although the Bengals won this game, Pittsburgh looked good losing it
• Prediction:
  W/O spread Indy
  W/spread JAGS
  score IND 27 - JAGS 19
  Result: IND 21 - JAGS 14
  Can anyone now doubt that Jacksonville will be a legitimate playoff team this year? I think not. Like Pittsburgh, Jacksonville is looking strong. Woe be on their future opponents as every game with Jacksonville is going to a bruising, knock down drag out battle of body and mind.
• Predictions:
  W/O Spread MIA
  W/spread TENN
  score MIA 17 - TENN 13
  Result: MIA 13 - TENN 10
  What can we say, both these teams are in a world of hurt and-- I will make the call right now-- have NO CHANCE of making the playoffs! I know, it is only week 3 and stranger things have happened, but the return of Elvis would be more likely.
• Prediction: WAS 26 - HOU 12
  Result: WAS 31 - HOU
  Houston, Houston, Houston...come in Houston. Will this team ever escape the cellar or are they simply trapped on the moon. Come in Houston. Earth calling, get a quarterback, get a running back, get an offensive line, get a defense...oh heck, just fire everybody!
• Prediction: CHI 33 - MINN 22
  Result: CHI 19 - MINN 16
  What is up with the Vikings?!! They are playing awfully good football and could go all the...NAhhh! But they are playing well and will spoil a few good Sundays for a lot of people who cheer against them. As for Chicago, well what can I say about Chicago...go Bears.
• Prediction: CAR 15 - TB 10
  Result: CAR 26 - TB 24
  The Panthers are a better team than 1 and 2. I had expected less of an offensive output so the 26 points on the board portend good things to come. If the defence can hold it together for a full 4 quarters, Carolina should contend. As for Tampa Bay, I never did like Tampa Bay...the sports team that is; the city or geographical area as they like to remind the rest of us, is quite nice.
• Prediction GB 23 - DET 17
  Result: GB 31 - DET 24
  Mr. 400! Congratulations Monsieur Favre. Nuff said!
• Prediction: BAL 27 - CLE 10
  Result: BAL 15 - CLE 14
  A little luck can go a long way for a good football team. How did Cleveland not win this game? How did Baltimore manage to pull it off with 20 seconds left on a 52 yard field goal? Some teams are just destined to succeed, others are just destined to find ways to lose.
• Prediction: STL 23 - ARI 20
  Result: STL 16 - ARI 14
  I am happy that Arizona lost because I had picked them to lose. I am happy with the way they lost though with a good, tight defensive effort because they happened to be my defense in the barstool association football pool. Welcome back to the world of the winning St. Louis but are you going to run into an inept offence every single week? I think not.
• Prediction: SEA 26 - NYG 15
  Result: SEA 42 - NYG 30
  Seattle is looking like a team that may not be on a mission, but is so good, that nothing can stop them. What do you do when you have a great coach, a strong quarterback, the leagues best running back, and 3 of the leagues best wide receivers - make a strong opponent look stupid, that is what you do. Seattle made it look they were playing a New York practice squad instead of a contending pro football team.
• Prediction: PHI 37 - SF 21
  Result: PHI 38 - SF 24
  Philadelphia cam e out strong, soaring like Eagles...ok, excuse my limited imagination. They came back strong after not to mention angry and mean after last week and did everything right.
• Prediction: DEN 17 - NE 14
  Result: DEN 17 - NE 7
  Poor Tom Brady, what's a guy to do when they take away two of the game's best receivers and also insert two rookie linemen? I can feel his frustration all the way from here. I had him as my QB but dropped him in favor of Vick only because there is no support. Last year Brady was able to launch the ball comfortable that his receivers would make plays; this year, no freaking way. But let the truth be told about this game, it was a yawnfest, a boring sleepfest which left me knocked out on the couch before half time.
  

There is still one game to go, the Monday nighter, but we will have to update that one with my next submission. Here is the prediction:

ATL vs NO Falcons favored by 3 OK, Bush or no Bush unless Vick gets hurt between now and the 3rd quarter, I am looking at the Falcons to take this one. The offence with the run can keep possessions while tiring out the defence. The ATL defence is swarming opponents. Atlanta all the way score ATL 17 - NO 9
