Thursday
Vikings @ Rams. Not good so far for the Vikes. We'll be a quarter of the way through the season and they are looking at 1-2-1 after this game. Lucky to not be 1-3 as they really should have lost the Green Bay game. I'd pick them in Minnesota, but I can't pick them on a short week when they have to go across the country while meanwhile the Rams are at home, AND played at home last week. The only thing slightly concerning is Peters & Talib likely out for the Rams, otherwise this looks like it would be one of the easier picks of the week.
Texans @ Colts. Texans have three 1 possession losses, they'll break through eventually and this looks like a good game to start.
Bills @ Packers. Bills got lucky last week, I don't see them nearly as lucky this week.
Buccaneers @ Bears. I'm going to wait and make a pick on this game when I find out who's actually starting. If Koetter is smart (which I'm not sure he is) he'll start Fitzpatrick and I think the Bucs win; if Koetter is dumb and puts Winston back in, the Bears will easily smoke a Winston, so this official pick will come on Saturday night/Sunday morning
Dolphins @ Patriots. Pats hand Dolphins loss number 1.
Lions @ Cowboys. Lions, Cowboys & Bears oh my! Lions superbowl was last weekend so Dallas in Big D.
Bengals @ Falcons. Dirty Birds at home
Jets @ Jaguars. Last year the Jets won this matchup, not happening this year. Eagles @ Titans. Eagles with Foles on the road.
Browns @ Raiders. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Browns, can you actually win back-to-back games?? Can't pick you coming off a win until you do. Seahawks @ Cardinals. Seahawks get back to .500 as they don't need the 12th man, or the Seahawk referees to beat Colt's Cardinals. This will be close though as the games in this series usually are, but Cards won't be able to keep up. Saints @ Giants. In the battle of old gunslingers, Brees has a lot more help than Manning does.
49ers @ Chargers. Who's starting for the Niners CJ Bethard?? Ravens @ Steelers. This Pitt team stinks! Ravens win in Pittsburgh and actually won't blow a lead this team.
Monday Chiefs @ Broncos. This is Pat Mahomes world and we're all just living in it.
I will pick the Bucs on Sunday. A game the Bears probably shouldn't lose since their divisional mates have gotten off on the wrong foot so far this year, and can create some separation for themselves before the Vikes & Packers inevitably turn it around, but tough to pick against Fitzmagic. As I said last week any time he can turn back into a pumpkin, and despite having the worst half of the year last week he still kept the Bucs in the game, and frankly I'm not that scared, sans Mack, of the Bears defense. Plus, Chicago probably's not scoring 30 points on offense like Pitt did. If Fitz can get the Bucs into the mid-high 20's (3 touchdowns and a field goal let's say) I think they got a great chance to win.
I'm thinking Bucs win, Bears D is legit but I'm not sure how far they can carry this team. I don't think Pack or Vikes are in a permanent slump although both teams are hard to figure right now.
I looked twice, too, but it is there but not in Cat's living color! He went with the Packers, I think it is time for them to get packed up and shuffled back ♪ to Buffalo...♫

Awesome post & picks! I read whole thing, too funny, & quite clever! I picked the Pats, wondering about those 'phins! Also my Raider pick, I'm not sure on it either probably picked more for Jordy, he had a great week last week!
Wow! I had no idea the Cat Man could sing! The dude has so many talents...
He must have been a wandering, homeless, scruffy, minstrel of an alley cat at some point in one of his many little lives! Who knew?
Good Gosharoonie!
