NFL Predictions: Week 3 Picks and Hot Takes
By Joe Wedra
We’re back with another edition of NFL predictions, this time with picks for all of week three’s action. Bye weeks don’t go into effect until next week, which means another fresh batch of 16 games to dissect and preview. As always follow us on Twitter @NFLMocks and follow Joe Wedra @JoeWedra. Enjoy the column!
Well, the streak is alive. 10-6 was last week’s record, not incredibly terrible after an 11-5 week one performance to kick off the season. Sure, I’d like to have some of those picks back, but who could’ve predicted the wild Sunday that was?
Oakland, losing to Atlanta?

And what about that Giants/Saints game? How did neither of those teams score more than 16 points?
It was a typical NFL Sunday, and it’s safe to say we wouldn’t want to have it any other way. Heck, for a “blogger who doesn’t know a thing about football” (which I’ve been called a time or ten-thousand), two straight weeks with double-digit wins isn’t something you’ll find me complaining about.
In reality and complete and total honesty, I’m more focused on Orioles September baseball than anything else right now. One look at my Twitter timeline and you’ll get the idea. I wish we could push back the NFL season until November so I can bask in O’s victories with a plate of crabcakes in front of me. I love football, but something special is going with the Birds of Baltimore.
(Yeah, I know, this is a football website. But let me have my moment, eh?)
On to the predictions. Again, refrain from the aforementioned comments in the section below. I’m not an expert. I don’t claim to be an expert. Perhaps about the intricate details about Maryland crabcakes – which I’m craving, if you can’t tell – but not about the NFL. It’s a weird game, and that’s why it’s so amazing.
So kick back, relax and enjoy the NFL thoughts that are about to flow onto the screen. I make these picks as I go, game by game. As you read, I write. With that in mind, let’s get to work… I have a deadline to hit.
