Regular Season Week 3

I just tallied up my picks from last week and I’m embarrassed to tell you that I went 4-12… I feel a little bit like a football in New England… deflated. I think the last time my picks were that bad I blamed it on the replacement refs… who can I blame now?

Let’s recap week two and see where I went wrong.

Broncos @ Chiefs 31-24

Like the rest of the world I counted Peyton out because he’s old. I’m glad I was wrong, although the first half did NOT look promising. Thankfully the Broncos got it together and their defense complimented their offense nicely and the outcome was in the Broncos favor.

Texans @ Panthers 17-24

Carolina is looking good and Cam had a good day, Houston continues to struggle but it’s early in the season.

49ers @ Steelers 18-43

This was one of the 4 games that I got right, kinda, I had said it would be a close game…

Buccaneers @ Saints 26-19

You know the Saints are hurting when the Bucs beat them at home… Seriously, no one saw that coming.

Lions @ Vikings 16-26

I expected more from the Lions but I’m not surprised that they lost this game. AP shook the dust off his cleats and finally had a good performance.

Cardinals @ Bears 48-23

I’m so glad Larry Fitzgerald is on my fantasy team! He had 3 TD’s and helped me get my first win of the season.  The Bears on the other hand continue to struggle under John Fox, maybe he thinks he’s back in Charlotte?

Patriots @ Bills 40-32

The score does NOT reflect the game. You would think it was a close game. Not so much. Poor Rex, even when he goes to another team he still can’t beat Bill. Sorry Buffalo fans, it was a terrible Sunday for NY fans all around.

Chargers @ Bengals 19-24

When the Ginger has a good day so do the Bengals. The Chargers, not so much

Titans @ Browns 14-28

Johnny Football got the start and the win for Cleveland and their defense had a great game sacking Titans QB Mariota; 7 times! Ouch.  

Falcons @ NY Giants 24-20

I don’t want to talk about it. I just don’t want to talk about it. I’m pretty sure if you look up The NY Football Giants in the dictionary the definition would be false hope.

Rams @ Redskins 10-24

RG3 has dropped to the 3^rd string QB for the Redskins and Kirk Cousins lead the team to a victory. As for the Rams, is it just me, or does QB Nick Foles look like Napoleon Dynamite?  

Dolphins @ Jaguars 20-23

I didn’t think that the Jags would win all season but they won this game. Will there be more?

Ravens @ Raiders 33-37

This is yet another game that I got wrong, but it was one of the more surprising ones. The Ravens have been good for so long and the Raiders bad but it’s like they switched. Weird.  

Cowboys @ Eagles 20-10

I told my friend that I was working on #theshenoareport and he said, “Well you can let the entire football kingdom know that I'm extremely satisfied with the Eagles losing at home to the DeMarco Muarry-less Cowboys!  GO PACKERS” He also shared his favorite NFL stat so far... “DeMarco Murray (after rushing for 1500+ yds last yr) on pace for 88 this entire season!  BLAHAHAHA”

I don’t know if you can tell, but he doesn’t like the Eagles. That’s one of the reasons we get along so well.

The Eagles may have lost the game but they took out Tony Romo in the process, he’ll be out for quite some time with a broken clavicle.

I’m not happy about the outcome of this game but feel better about it now that the Giant’s aren’t alone at the bottom of the NFC East.

Seahawks @ Packers 17-27

Hey, hey, hey, the Seahawks are 0-2. I had the pleasure of watching some of this game with my good friend Meg. She is not a football fan. Her comments were amazing and quite entertaining. Some of my favorites were “this is the LONGEST two minutes ever” (referring to the time after the two minute warning) and “It’s not over!” (referring to half time) She went to bed at the half.

Jets @ Colts 20-7

This was such an exciting game to watch although I was quite upset when Eric Decker left the game with a knee injury, 6 more points and I would have won my matchup in fantasy. (Yes, I’m in two different leagues) This may have been the most head scratching games for me. How the heck are the Jets 2-0?

WEEK 3

Thursday September 24th

Redskins (1-1) @ NY Giants (0-2) [8:25pm CBS, NFLN]

After the loss on Sunday at least the Giants had enough sense to drop WR Preston Parker like he did the ball sooooo many times the first two games of the season.

Cruz is still out but we have Beckham. Dear Giants, please stop making dumb mistakes, finish strong, and win the game. Love, Shenoa

PS GO GMEN!!!!

PPS I’m picking the Giants for the win.

Sunday September 27th

Falcons (2-0) @ Cowboys (2-0) [1pm FOX]

 Two words Julio Jones. Go Atlanta. Beat the opponent soundly. I’m picking the Falcons for the win against the Romo-less, Bryant-less Cowboys. Don’t worry Cowboys T.O. said he’d suit up at the age of 41.

Colts (0-2) @ Titans (1-1) [1pm CBS]

I’m tentatively picking the Colts for the win.

Raiders (1-1) @ Browns (1-1)  [1pm CBS]

Browns head coach has put Manzel back on the bench and is starting Josh McCown at QB so I’m picking the Raiders for the win.

Bengals (2-0) @ Ravens (0-2) [1pm CBS]

I’m going with the Ravens because I really don’t think they are going to go 0-3.

Jaguars (1-1) @ Patriots (2-0) [1pm CBS]

I’m picking the Patriots but hope I’m wrong.

Saints (0-2) @ Panthers (2-0) [1pm FOX]

 Drew Brees probably won’t play this game so I’ll pick the Panthers for the win.

Eagles (0-2) @ Jets (2-0) [1pm FOX]

Hoping the J-E-T-S Jets, Jets, Jets can keep this winning streak alive. I’m picking them to win again.

Buccaneers (1-1) @ Texans (0-2) [1pm FOX]

Last year this would have been a no brainer pick… I’m going with the Bucs.

Chargers (1-1) @ Vikings (1-1) [1:00pm CBS]

I’m going to pick the Vikings at home.

Steelers (1-1) @ Rams (1-1) [1:00pm CBS]

I’m picking the Steelers but rooting for the Rams.

49ers (1-1) @ Cardinals (2-0) [4:05pm FOX]

I’m taking the Cardinals over the 49ers.

Bills (1-1) @ Dolphins (1-1) [4:25pm CBS]

I’m hoping the Bills bounce back. I’m picking Buffalo for the win.

Bears (0-2) @ Seahawks (0-2) [4:25pm CBS]

Kam Chancellor is gracing the Seahawks with his presence. Apparently the tantrum is over and he’s ready to play. I’m picking Seattle for the win.

Broncos (2-0) @ Lions (0-2) [8:30pm NBC]

I’m picking the Broncos for the win.

Monday, September 28^th  

Chiefs (1-1) @ Packers (2-0) [8:30pm ESPN]

I’m picking the Packers for the win.

GO GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the edit Mom!!!!!
