I'll get the other games up later tonight.

And on with the rest of them:
Colts @ Jaguars (in London): Colts. And just like that the Colts are back in it at 2-2 but still fundamentally flawed.
Titans @ Texans: Texans. The Texans just lost a game 27-0 then turned right around and lost J.J. Watt. Time for that $72 million QB to step up!
Browns @ Redskins: Redskins. Here in the Redskins market they are calling the win over the Giants as "season saving" even in week 3. Next up is a feisty Browns team, but a team the Redskins should be able to put away.
Seahawks @ Jets: Seahawks. These two teams are looking like a M.A.S.H. ward right now. Imagine being Ryan Fitzpatrick right now: throwing 6 INTs one week then facing off against the Seahawks defense the next. (Then stopping at the bank and cashing that massive game check on the way home.) Yeah...I guess ole Fitz has it pretty good.
Bills @ Patriots: Patriots. And all the Pats haters go crazy as the Evil Empire finishes Brady's suspension period 4-0. It occurred to me today as I was in the gym and an interview with Rex Ryan came on ESPN: Rex Ryan is a great entertainer. Unfortunately for the Bills, Bill Belichick is a great football coach.
Panthers @ Falcons: Falcons. Wow, this one is tough. The Panthers have a really good offense and a good defense but things haven't started clicking yet. The Falcons have the league's highest scoring offense but almost no defense to speak of. And it's a division game so it's anyone's guess what's going to happen.
Raiders @ Ravens: Ravens. The knock on the Ravens is the teams they've beat en route to a 3-0 start are a combined 1-8. As for the Raiders, I picked against them last week thinking their shoddy defense would be just what the Titans needed to get their anemic offense going. Instead it was the Raiders defense that stepped up its game. But not lost on me is that high-flying Raiders offense was held to 17 points once they played a defense that wasn't bottom-tier.
Lions @ Bears: Lions. With the way the NFL has slated prime time games this year I'm surprised this snoozer isn't the MNF game for the week.
Broncos @ Buccaneers: Broncos. The Bucs pass on over 67% of their offensive snaps. The Broncos run defense is allowing 127 yards per game. Will the Bucs change their game plan or will they challenge the No Fly Zone?
Rams @ Cardinals: Cardinals. A 1-2 start has got to be considered slow out the gate for this Cardinals team of "All or Nothing" fame. As for the Rams, this is Jeff Fisher's first 2-1 start since his arrival in St. Louis. And Los Angeles.
Saints @ Chargers: Chargers. Take the over. That is all.
Cowboys @ 49ers: 49ers. Dak Prescott has been impressive as has Ezekial Elliot, and that Cowboys defense is actually better than I expected it would be. But the 49ers are not the dumpster fire I expected they'd be either. Plus the Cowboys may be missing Dez Bryant.
Chiefs @ Steelers: Steelers. Good teams like the Steelers respond after getting railed the way they did against the Eagles. The Chiefs put on an 8 turnover clinic on defense against the Jets but struggled to cash in, totaling just 10 offensive points. That won't be enough to keep up with the Steelers in their own house.
Giants @ Vikings: Vikings. They are playing lights out on defense and looking pretty good on offense too. After the injuries and setbacks, they've shown some incredible resiliency early on in this season.
Byes: Packers and Eagles
my totals:
Week 1: 11-5
Week 2: 9-7
Week 3: 8-8
Total: 28-20
