Yes, it may appear as though I am off in my little world where the Chargers and the Packers ALWAYS win (the Chargers were robbed last week, (insert Foghorn Leghorn voice here) I say, I say ROBBED.) They shoulda won. I like that the Packers are holding their own and that there is a legacy after (my) Brett. The Monday night game last week was insane and truly a boatload of fun to watch! I love football season!

Here are my picks:

Green Bay +3 over zee Cowboys

Jets +9 over zee Chargers

49ers -4 over zee Lions

Casey's PICKS

The dawning of NFL week 3 finds the Mystic One and myself ahead of the two other guys.  Karma? Perhaps.  Mysticism? Maybe.  Dumb luck on my part? Definitely!   So in true Las Vegas style, I'll take my one game lead and roll the dice.   Miami +13 will beat New England.  The Fish will definitely cover the spread.  They’ve had the Pats number for a while, for some reason and now that there's a New Cassel in New England, moat can be bridged.   New York Football Giants – 13½ clobber the Cincinnati Tiger-cubs.   Calling all cars!!  We're sending out an A.P.B. on Carson Palmer.  Whoever is impersonating Palmer is sucking big wind.   The League should reimburse whichever network draws this yawner.   Carolina + 3½ over Minnesota.   I can't even tell you why.  I've just got a feeling.   Winners: Atlanta, Buffalo, Tennessee, Giants, Arizona, Miami, Chicago, Carolina, Seattle, San Francisco, Denver, Philadelphia, Indy, Cleveland, Dallas and San Diego.

We (I speak for both the Mouth and I) are somewhat humbled this week, after falling behind 9-3 to 6-5*

* Ike may have saved me further embarrassment

Casey in particular, is on a roll, going 5-1 ATS thus far in the NFL. The Mystic One is not far behind, coming in at 4-2.

My attempt at catch-up is below

Eagles –3

Vikings –3 ½

Ravens –1 ½

What was the Mouth thinking (assuming he does in fact think……………) Did he think the Lions were going to resurrect Barry Sanders and “Nite Train” Lane?

Speaking of Detroit, pay no attention to the fact that one of my star picks this week (see below) is the Lions. It's not that the Lions are playing so well but because my Niners have played poorly…………

Looking to stay on the plus side of the ledger for the rest of the year, after going 4-1 +4 stars. The Tampa Bay - Houston game was of course postponed.

For the season I’m 7-4 + 3 ½ stars

Sunday lets go with:

These picks are rated from 1 to 5's with a point spread

½	Eagles -3	vs.	Steelers
	Vikings -3½	vs.	Panthers
	Ravens -1½	vs.	Browns
	Bills -9	vs.	Raiders
	Broncos -5½	vs.	Saints
	Lions +4	@	49ers
½	Giants -13½	vs.	Bengals

Rhetorical question of the week....

Would you rather cut the size of your units or borrow $$ from your mother-in-law?

The Tout

Now that I have so graciously given my esteemed colleagues the handicap they will no doubt need its time to get serious. Ergo Lions no mas. This weeks gem will of necessity be brief as I am "on the road again". Nevertheless, it will contain the wherewithal to get the money.

Ravens -1½    You all know that song Love Stinks, well so do the Browns!!!

Saints + 5½     Broncos are 2-0 (sort of) but they can't stop anyone at any time. Doubt the refs will be giving them any breaks after last week.

Cowboys - 3     The Pack ain't back. Cake!
