Here is my prediction for the 2015 WNBA Finals.
(W1) Minnesota Lynx vs (E3) Indiana Fever: This is a rematch of the 2012 WNBA Finals as these two teams face off for the second time in four seasons. Minnesota is coming off a sweep of the Phoenix Mercury in the Western Conference Finals. Indiana is coming off a series win over the New York Liberty in which they rallied and won the final two games of that series after the Liberty won the first game. Maya Moore and Tamika Catchings headline the stardom in this series for the Lynx and Fever, respectively. I do like the way how the Fever have rallied and beat the Sky and Liberty in both of their previous series's and Catchings is retiring after the season, but I like the Lynx, led bye the leagues best player in Moore, to win their third championship in five seasons.
Prediction: Lynx in four games.

2015 NFL Week 4 Picks
Here are my picks for week four of the 2015 NFL season.
Thursday, October 1st
Baltimore Ravens (0-3) vs Pittsburgh Steelers (1-2)- 8:25, CBS/NFLN: Baltimore is winless, but I'm not willing to count them out yet since Pittsburgh has lost Ben Rothlisberger for four-six weeks with an MCL sprain. Pittsburgh is coming off a road win in St. Louis against the Rams and Baltimore is coming off a tough home loss against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Steelers will miss Rothlisberger as Michael Vick will start, so the Ravens will get their first win.
Prediction: Baltimore 24, Pittsburgh 16.
Sunday, October 4th
New York Jets (2-1) vs Miami Dolphins (1-2)- 9:30, CBS (London): The first NFL London game of the season will take place between two AFC East clubs. The Jets are coming off a disappointing home loss against a desperate Philadelphia Eagles team. Miami is coming off a bad home loss against the Buffalo Bills. The Dolphins have not looked great throughout the first three weeks and the Jets showed life in the second half against the Eagles, so give me Todd Bowles's squad to get the victory here due to bounce back games from Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brandon Marshall.
Prediction: NY Jets 23, Miami 20.
New York Giants (1-2) vs Buffalo Bills (2-1)- 1:00, FOX: The Giants are coming off their first win of the season against Washington at home. Buffalo is coming off a big division road win in Miami against the Dolphins. I really can see a let down from Rex Ryan's club, similar to what happened after their opening week win after the Colts, they had a let down against the Patriots. I see the same thing happening here as Eli Manning will be getting another weapon back in Victor Cruz back this week and it will help the Giants to their second straight win.
Prediction: NY Giants 33, Buffalo 28.
Oakland Raiders (2-1) vs Chicago Bears (0-3)- 1:00, CBS: Oakland has been perhaps the biggest surprise this season so far and their coming off a nice road win in Cleveland against the Browns. Chicago has been a mess thus far and is coming off a shutout road loss in Seattle against the desperate Seahawks. The Bears already are cleaning house after trading away Jared Allen and Jonathan Bostic to the Panthers and Patriots, respectively. I like the Raiders to continue their early success and get the win on the road.
Prediction: Oakland 27, Chicago 19.
Jacksonville Jaguars (1-2) vs Indianapolis Colts (1-2)- 1:00, CBS: Jacksonville is coming off a bad road loss in Foxboro against the Patriots and Indianapolis is coming off a huge road win in Nashville against the Titans. The Colts have to win this game to get their record at .500 and they'll get the job done in blowout fashion at home. The Colts are my lock of the week.
Prediction: Indianapolis 38, Jacksonville 19.
Houston Texans (1-2) vs Atlanta Falcons (3-0)- 1:00, CBS: Houston is coming off their first win of the season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta is still unbeaten after their comeback win in Jerry World against the Tony Romo-less Cowboys. The Falcons are home and the crowd will be ruckus so I expect them to beat a Texans team that's not that good.
Prediction: Atlanta 31, Houston 17.
Carolina Panthers (3-0) vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-2)- 1:00, FOX: Carolina is coming off a home win against a Drew Brees-less Saints team. Tampa Bay is coming off a road loss in Houston against the Texans. The Bucs maybe not as bad as they looked week one, but I expect them to hang around with the Panthers, who should be 4-0 after the weekend is over.
Prediction: Carolina 27, Tampa Bay 21.
Kansas City Chiefs (1-2) vs Cincinnati Bengals (3-0)- 1:00, CBS: Kansas City is coming off a tough road loss at Lambeau against the Packers. Cincinnati is coming off a great road win in Baltimore against the Ravens. This should be a fun game between these two AFC squads. I like the Bengals to remain unbeaten for another week as Andy Dalton and AJ Green will have another good game.
Prediction: Cincinnati 30, Kansas City 24.
Philadelphia Eagles (1-2) vs Washington Redskins (1-2)- 1:00, FOX: Philadelphia is coming off a much needed win over the Jets at MetLife. Washington also played at MetLife last week, but they lost to the Giants. Both of these teams can use a win here, but I like the Eagles to build off their win last week and win another one on the road and take advantage of the Redskins's issues.
Prediction: Philadelphia 30, Washington 20.
Cleveland Browns (1-2) vs San Diego Chargers (1-2)- 4:05, CBS: Cleveland is coming off a tough home loss against the surprising Oakland Raiders. San Diego is coming off a disappointing road loss in Minneapolis against the Vikings. This is arguably a must win for Philip Rivers and the Chargers and I think they'll get the job done at home against Browns team that has some issues.
Prediction: San Diego 33, Cleveland 20.
Minnesota Vikings (2-1) vs Denver Broncos (3-0)- 4:25, FOX: Minnesota is coming off a nice home win against the San Diego Chargers. Denver is coming off a nice road win in Detroit against the Lions. A lot of people think this is going to be a good game, which it could be. I just find it tough for Teddy Bridgewater and the Vikings to hang in this one with Peyton Manning and the Broncos. The Broncos defense is one of the leagues best but I don't see the Vikings defense as good as the Broncos defense.
Prediction: Denver 31, Minnesota 20.
Green Bay Packers (3-0) vs San Francisco 49ers (1-2)- 4:25, FOX: Green Bay is coming off a terrific home win against the Kansas City Chiefs. San Francisco on the other hand is coming off a disastrous loss in Glendale against the Cardinals where Colin Kaepernick struggled mightily. I do think Frisco can hang in there with the Pack at home for a bit, but expect Aaron Rodgers & Co to pull away late.
Prediction: Green Bay 37, San Francisco 23.
St. Louis Rams (1-2) vs Arizona Cardinals (3-0)- 4:25, FOX: St. Louis is coming off a disappointing home loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers in which they couldn't take advantage of Ben Rothlisberger's injury. Arizona is coming off a great home win against the San Francisco 49ers. The Cardinals are arguably the leagues best team right now and they'll show it here against their division rivals.
Prediction: Arizona 37, St. Louis 20.
Dallas Cowboys (2-1) vs New Orleans Saints (0-3)- 8:30, NBC: Dallas is coming off a tough home loss against the Atlanta Falcons in their first game without Tony Romo, which they had a two touchdown lead in. New Orleans is coming off a road loss in Charlotte against the Panthers, in which they almost won the game without Drew Brees. Sean Payton is hopeful that Brees will play this Sunday. If Brees doesn't play, this is going to be an ugly game. Either team can win this game but if Brees plays, the Saints should and will get their first win.
Prediction: New Orleans 27, Dallas 23.
Monday, October 5th
Detroit Lions (0-3) vs Seattle Seahawks (1-2)- 8:30, ESPN: Detroit is coming off a disappointing home loss against the Denver Broncos. Seattle is coming off a much needed home win against a hapless Chicago Bears team in which they shut them out. The twelfth man should help the Seahawks to another win to put them at .500 and send Detroit to 0-4.
Prediction: Seattle 34, Detroit 20.
Thursday, October 1st
Baltimore Ravens (0-3) vs Pittsburgh Steelers (1-2)- 8:25, CBS/NFLN: Baltimore is winless, but I'm not willing to count them out yet since Pittsburgh has lost Ben Rothlisberger for four-six weeks with an MCL sprain. Pittsburgh is coming off a road win in St. Louis against the Rams and Baltimore is coming off a tough home loss against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Steelers will miss Rothlisberger as Michael Vick will start, so the Ravens will get their first win.

Miami (FL) (3-0; 0-0) at Cincinnati (2-2; 0-2)- 7:30, ESPN: This is a nice matchup to kick off the weekend. Miami is unbeaten right one and Cincinnati has been a bit of a disappointment so far. I like the Canes to continue their success here on the road.

Pick: Virginia Tech
South Carolina (2-2; 0-2) at Missouri (3-1; 0-1)- 12:00, SECN- Get ready because this game is going to be an ugly, low scoring affair. I like Mizzou here at home, but the Cocks can't be ruled out here.

Pick: Michigan State
Minnesota (3-1; 0-0) at (16) Northwestern (4-0; 0-0)- 12:00, BTN: This is a pretty big game in the Big-10. Northwestern has been the better team thus far and it will show here.
Pick: Northwestern
Iowa (4-0; 0-0) at (19) Wisconsin (3-1; 0-0)- 12:00, ESPN: This is another big game in the Big-10. Kansas wants to prove that their start is no fluke and Wisconsin wants to make a statement at home. I like the Badgers here, but the Hawkeyes will keep it closer than the experts think.
Pick: Wisconsin
Army (1-3) at Penn State (3-1; 1-0)- 12:00, ESPNU
Pick: Penn State
Kansas (0-3; 0-0) at Iowa State (1-2; 0-0)- 12:00
Pick: Iowa State
(23) West Virginia (3-0; 0-0) at (15) Oklahoma (3-0; 0-0)-12:00, FS1: This is a huge game in the Big-12. These are two great teams and the winner of this game should not surprise anyone. West Virginia has fielded the best defense in the conference so far and both teams can score. I like the 'Eers to pull off the road upset here.
Pick: West Virginia
Texas (1-3; 0-1) at (4) TCU (4-0; 0-0)- 12:00, ABC
Pick: TCU
UCF (0-4; 0-0) at Tulane (1-2; 0-0) 12:00, ESPNEWS

Houston (3-0; 0-0) at Tulsa (2-1; 0-0)- 12:00, CBSSN: This is an underrated game in the AAC. I like the Houston on the road and I'm not sold on Tulsa yet.
Pick: Houston

Pick: Georgia Tech
(13) Alabama (3-1; 0-1) at (8) Georgia (4-0; 2-0)- 3:30, CBS: This is by far the biggest game in the SEC this weekend. This has the makings of game of the year. Alabama has had quarterback problems although their defense is improved. Georgia has been one of the best teams in the country thus far with great play all around. I like Georgia to win behind a ruckus crowd in Athens.
Pick: Georgia
(5) Baylor (3-0; 0-0) vs Texas Tech (3-1; 0-1)- 3:30, ABC/ESPN2 (AT&T Stadium): Texas Tech almost upset TCU and they deserve credit for going toe-to-toe with them. Baylor has looked like the Big-12's best team so far. I believe the Red Raiders will keep it closer than the experts think again, but the Bears will pull it out at Jerry World.
Pick: Baylor
Nebraska (2-2; 0-0) at Illinois (3-1; 0-0)- 3:30, BTN: This is a nice matchup in the Big-10. I like the Huskers to win this one in Champaign.
Pick: Nebraska
(1) Ohio State (4-0; 0-0) at Indiana (4-0; 0-0)- 3:30, ABC/ESPN2: Ohio State looks to keep its top ranking and Indiana looks to pull off a massive upset. Both teams are unbeaten but except the Buckeyes to pull it out but the Hoosiers to keep it closer than the experts think.

Pick: Marshall
Western Kentucky (3-1; 1-0) at Rice (2-2; 1-0)- 3:30
Pick: Western Kentucky
Washington State (2-1; 0-0) at (24) California (4-0; 1-0)- 4:00, Pac-12N
Pick: California
Kansas State (3-0; 0-0) at (20) Oklahoma State (4-0; 1-0)- 4:00, FS1: This is a big game in the Big-12. Kansas State is an underrated team, but Oklahoma State is home and there a great team too. Expect the Cowboys to win a close one.
Pick: Oklahoma State
San Jose State (2-2; 1-1) at Auburn (2-2; 0-2)- 4:00, SECN
Pick: Auburn
East Carolina (2-2; 0-1) at SMU (1-3; 0-0)- 4:00, ESPNEWS

Pick: South Alabama
(3) Ole Miss (4-0; 2-0).at (25) Florida (4-0; 2-0)- 7:00, ESPN: This is a terrific matchup we got here. Ole Miss looks like a title contender right now and Florida has been arguably the SEC's biggest surprise so far as their still unbeaten. This should be a good game, but I like the Rebels to get the win in The Swamp.
Pick: Ole Miss
Arkansas (1-3; 0-1) at Tennessee (2-2; 0-1)- 7:00, ESPN2: This is a battle of two teams that have been disappointments thus far. I like the Vols in this one at home.
Pick: Tennessee

Pick: LSU
Vanderbilt (1-3; 0-2) at Middle Tennessee (2-2; 1-0)- 7:00, CBSSN: A C-USA team over an SEC team? Sure, why not?

Pick: Southern Miss
Louisiana-Lafayette (1-2; 0-0) at Louisiana Tech (2-2; 1-1)- 7:00
Pick: Louisiana Tech
Arizona State (2-2; 0-1) at (7) UCLA (4-0; 1-0)- 7:30, FOX: Arizona State laid an egg at home against USC and UCLA is looking to build off their huge win in Tuscon against Arizona. I like the Bruins here to stay unbeaten.
Pick: UCLA
(21) Mississippi State (3-1; 1-1) at (14) Texas A&M (4-0; 1-0)- 7:30, SECN: This is a huge game in the SEC. This game should be a dandy but I like the Bulldogs to pull off another road upset but this time in College Station.

Eastern Kentucky (2-1; 1-0) at Kentucky (3-1; 2-1)- 7:30, SECN
Pick: Kentucky
(6) Notre Dame (4-0) at (12) Clemson (3-0; 0-0)- 8:00, ABC: This is a huge game with big playoff implications. ESPN's College GameDay will be on site for this one. Notre Dame has been perhaps the most resilient team in the country and I expect them to pull out another win against a great Clemson team.
Pick: Notre Dame
UTSA (0-4; 0-0) at UTEP (2-2)- 8:00, KMYS
Pick: UTEP
(22) Michigan (3-1; 0-0) at Maryland (2-2; 0-0)- 8:00, BTN: This is another big game in the Big-10. I like Jim Harbaugh to get his first road win as Michigan coach.
Pick: Michigan
New Mexico State (0-3; 0-1) at New Mexico (2-2; 1-0)- 8:00, Root Sports
Pick: New Mexico
Oregon (2-2; 0-1) at Colorado (3-1; 0-0)- 10:00, ESPN: Colorado has been surprisingly good so far but I like Oregon to bounce back from a disastrous home loss against Utah to win in Boulder.

Pick: Boise State
Arizona (3-1; 0-1) at (18) Stanford (3-1; 2-0)- 10:30, Pac-12N: Arizona is looking to bounce back from a disappointing home loss against UCLA. Stanford is coming off a huge road win in Corvallis and I expect them to follow it up with another conference win.

Houston (3-0; 0-0) at Tulsa (2-1; 0-0)- 12:00, CBSSN: This is an underrated game in the AAC. I like the Houston on the road and I'm not sold on Tulsa yet.
Pick: Houston
Louisville (1-3; 0-1) at NC State (4-0; 0-0)- 12:30, ESPN3: This is a huge game in the ACC. I like the Cardinals to win this one and I'm not sold on the Wolfpack yet.
Pick: Louisville
Ohio (3-1; 0-0) at Akron (2-2; 0-0)- 2:00, ESPN3
Pick: Akron
Toledo (3-0; 0-0) at Ball State (2-2; 1-0)- 3:00, ESPN3

Pick: Florida State
North Carolina (3-1; 0-0) at Georgia Tech (2-2; 0-1)- 3:30, ESPNU
Pick: Georgia Tech
(13) Alabama (3-1; 0-1) at (8) Georgia (4-0; 2-0)- 3:30, CBS: This is by far the biggest game in the SEC this weekend. This has the makings of game of the year. Alabama has had quarterback problems although their defense is improved. Georgia has been one of the best teams in the country thus far with great play all around. I like Georgia to win behind a ruckus crowd in Athens.
Pick: Georgia
(5) Baylor (3-0; 0-0) vs Texas Tech (3-1; 0-1)- 3:30, ABC/ESPN2 (AT&T Stadium): Texas Tech almost upset TCU and they deserve credit for going toe-to-toe with them. Baylor has looked like the Big-12's best team so far. I believe the Red Raiders will keep it closer than the experts think again, but the Bears will pull it out at Jerry World.
Pick: Baylor
Nebraska (2-2; 0-0) at Illinois (3-1; 0-0)- 3:30, BTN: This is a nice matchup in the Big-10. I like the Huskers to win this one in Champaign.
Pick: Nebraska
(1) Ohio State (4-0; 0-0) at Indiana (4-0; 0-0)- 3:30, ABC/ESPN2: Ohio State looks to keep its top ranking and Indiana looks to pull off a massive upset. Both teams are unbeaten but except the Buckeyes to pull it out but the Hoosiers to keep it closer than the experts think.
Pick: Ohio State
Old Dominion (2-2) at Marshall (3-1)- 3:30
Pick: Marshall
Western Kentucky (3-1; 1-0) at Rice (2-2; 1-0)- 3:30
Pick: Western Kentucky
Washington State (2-1; 0-0) at (24) California (4-0; 1-0)- 4:00, Pac-12N
Pick: California
Kansas State (3-0; 0-0) at (20) Oklahoma State (4-0; 1-0)- 4:00, FS1: This is a big game in the Big-12. Kansas State is an underrated team, but Oklahoma State is home and there a great team too. Expect the Cowboys to win a close one.
Pick: Oklahoma State
San Jose State (2-2; 1-1) at Auburn (2-2; 0-2)- 4:00, SECN
Pick: Auburn
East Carolina (2-2; 0-1) at SMU (1-3; 0-0)- 4:00, ESPNEWS

Pick: Nevada
South Alabama (2-2; 0-0) at Troy (1-2; 0-0)- 7:00, ESPN3
Pick: South Alabama
(3) Ole Miss (4-0; 2-0).at (25) Florida (4-0; 2-0)- 7:00, ESPN: This is a terrific matchup we got here. Ole Miss looks like a title contender right now and Florida has been arguably the SEC's biggest surprise so far as their still unbeaten. This should be a good game, but I like the Rebels to get the win in The Swamp.
Pick: Ole Miss
Arkansas (1-3; 0-1) at Tennessee (2-2; 0-1)- 7:00, ESPN2: This is a battle of two teams that have been disappointments thus far. I like the Vols in this one at home.
Pick: Tennessee
Eastern Michigan (1-3; 0-1) at (9) LSU (3-0; 2-0)- 7:00, ESPNU
Pick: LSU
Vanderbilt (1-3; 0-2) at Middle Tennessee (2-2; 1-0)- 7:00, CBSSN: A C-USA team over an SEC team? Sure, why not?
Pick: Middle Tennessee
North Texas (0-3; 0-1) at Southern Miss (2-2; 0-0)- 7:00
Pick: Southern Miss
Louisiana-Lafayette (1-2; 0-0) at Louisiana Tech (2-2; 1-1)- 7:00
Pick: Louisiana Tech
Arizona State (2-2; 0-1) at (7) UCLA (4-0; 1-0)- 7:30, FOX: Arizona State laid an egg at home against USC and UCLA is looking to build off their huge win in Tuscon against Arizona. I like the Bruins here to stay unbeaten.
Pick: UCLA
(21) Mississippi State (3-1; 1-1) at (14) Texas A&M (4-0; 1-0)- 7:30, SECN: This is a huge game in the SEC. This game should be a dandy but I like the Bulldogs to pull off another road upset but this time in College Station.
Pick: Mississippi State
Eastern Kentucky (2-1; 1-0) at Kentucky (3-1; 2-1)- 7:30, SECN
Pick: Kentucky
(6) Notre Dame (4-0) at (12) Clemson (3-0; 0-0)- 8:00, ABC: This is a huge game with big playoff implications. ESPN's College GameDay will be on site for this one. Notre Dame has been perhaps the most resilient team in the country and I expect them to pull out another win against a great Clemson team.
Pick: Notre Dame
UTSA (0-4; 0-0) at UTEP (2-2)- 8:00, KMYS
Pick: UTEP
(22) Michigan (3-1; 0-0) at Maryland (2-2; 0-0)- 8:00, BTN: This is another big game in the Big-10. I like Jim Harbaugh to get his first road win as Michigan coach.
Pick: Michigan
New Mexico State (0-3; 0-1) at New Mexico (2-2; 1-0)- 8:00, Root Sports
Pick: New Mexico
Oregon (2-2; 0-1) at Colorado (3-1; 0-0)- 10:00, ESPN: Colorado has been surprisingly good so far but I like Oregon to bounce back from a disastrous home loss against Utah to win in Boulder.
Pick: Oregon
Hawaii (2-2; 0-0) at Boise State (3-1; 0-0)- 10:15, ESPN2
Pick: Boise State
Arizona (3-1; 0-1) at (18) Stanford (3-1; 2-0)- 10:30, Pac-12N: Arizona is looking to bounce back from a disappointing home loss against UCLA. Stanford is coming off a huge road win in Corvallis and I expect them to follow it up with another conference win.
Pick: Stanford
Fresno State (1-3; 0-1) at San Diego State (1-3; 0-0)- 10:30, CBSSN
Pick: San Diego State

2015 WNBA Conference Finals Predictions
Here are my predictions for the 2015 WNBA Conference Finals. (best-of-3)
Eastern Conference
(1) New York Liberty vs (3) Indiana Fever: Both teams rallied to win the final two games of their respective series's after losing the first game of their series's to the Washington Mystics and Chicago Sky, respectively. Both teams played very well in their previous series so expect this series to be a dandy. Superstars are on both sides here with Tina Charles for the Liberty and Tamika Catchings for the Fever. I feel that the Liberty are the better team here and they'll make it to the WNBA finals for the first time since 2002.
Prediction: Liberty in 3.
Western Conference
(1) Minnesota Lynx vs (2) Phoenix Mercury: Minnesota beat Los Angeles in three games and Phoenix swept a banged up Tulsa team. Both teams played well in their first series's and this series should be fun to watch as well. There's stardom in this series well with Maya Moore for the Lynx and Brittney Griener for the Mercury. This will be a tremendous series but home court advantage will be the difference here as the Lynx will return to the WNBA finals and play a great Liberty team.
Prediction: Lynx in 3.

2015 NFL Week 3 Picks
Here are my picks for week three of the 2015 NFL season.
Thursday, September 24th
Washington Redskins (1-1) vs New York Giants (0-2)- 8:25, CBS/NFLN: Washington is coming off a surprising win over the Rams and the Giants are coming off their second straight loss in which they had a ten point fourth quarter lead in. I think the Redskins defense comes back to earth this week and the Giants, who cannot afford to start 0-3, will get their first win of the season.
Prediction: NY Giants 31, Washington 20.
Sunday, September 27th
Cincinnati Bengals (2-0) vs Baltimore Ravens (0-2)- 1:00, CBS: Cincinnati is coming off a nice home win against the San Diego Chargers and Baltimore is coming off a tough loss in Oakland against the Raiders. The Ravens will be playing with desperation and they, like the Giants, cannot afford to start the season 0-3. I expect Joe Flacco to bounce back and the defense to play inspired here and pick up their first win of the season.
Prediction: Baltimore 27, Cincinnati 23.
New Orleans Saints (0-2) vs Carolina Panthers (2-0)- 1:00, FOX: The Saints are coming off a bad home loss against a lowly Bucs team and the Panthers are coming off a home win against the Texans. The Saints are another team that cannot afford to start 0-3, but I think they will because Drew Brees is dealing with a shoulder injury and could miss time. I see Cam Newton leading the Panthers to a 3-0 start here.
Prediction: Carolina 30, New Orleans 19.
Oakland Raiders (1-1) vs Cleveland Browns (1-1)- 1:00, CBS: Oakland is coming off a nice home win against the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland is coming off a nice bounce back win against the Tennessee Titans. Derek Carr came back from his injury and played really well and I think they'll get the win against a Brown team in which we don't know who'll start at quarterback yet this week with Josh McCown recovering from a concussion.
Prediction: Oakland 27, Cleveland 19.
Atlanta Falcons (2-0) vs Dallas Cowboys (2-0)- 1:00, FOX: Atlanta is coming off a terrific come from behind win against the Giants in the Meadowlands and the Cowboys are coming off a win in Philadelphia against the Eagles in which Tony Romo broke his collarbone and is out for eight weeks. The Cowboys will miss Romo in this game as Brandon Weeden will start under center and Matt Ryan and Julio Jones lead the Falcons to a 3-0 start.
Prediction: Atlanta 30, Dallas 23.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-1) vs Houston Texans (0-2)- 1:00, CBS: Tampa Bay is coming off a nice road win in the Super Dome against the Saints and Houston is coming off a loss against the Panthers. The Bucs have been a tale of two different teams in the first two weeks of the season and I believe JJ Waat will have some big sacks on Jameis Winston due to a bad Bucs offensive line and that will be the difference here as the Texans get their first win.
Prediction: Houston 26, Tampa Bay 21.
San Diego Chargers (1-1) vs Minnesota Vikings (1-1)- 1:00, CBS: San Diego is coming off a road loss in Cincinnati against the Bengals and Minnesota is coming off a nice home win against the Detroit Lions. This is a tough game to predict but I think Adrian Peterson has another good game and leads the Vikings to their second straight win.
Prediction: Minnesota 27, San Diego 24.
Jacksonville Jaguars (1-1) vs New England Patriots (2-0)- 1:00, CBS: Jacksonville is coming off a nice home win against the Miami Dolphins and the defending champions are coming off a good division road win in a Orchard Park against the Bills. Tom Brady has arguably been the MVP through the first two weeks of the season and I expect the Patriots to win big here because they are my lock of the week.
Prediction: New England 37, Jacksonville 17.
Philadelphia Eagles (0-2) vs New York Jets (2-0)- 1:00, FOX: Philadelphia has been the most disappointing team in the NFC and is coming off a disappointing home loss against a Cowboys team that lost Tony Romo during the game to a broken collarbone and was missing Dez Bryant due to a broken foot. The Jets, who are the biggest surprise in the AFC so far, is coming off a nice road win in Indianapolis against the Colts. The Jets defense has been terrific throughout the first two weeks and I believe they get the win here against an a Eagle team that can't afford to start 0-3.
Prediction: NY Jets 24, Philadelphia 20.
Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1) vs St. Louis Rams (1-1)- 1:00, CBS: Pittsburgh is coming off a great win against the San Francisco 49ers and St. Louis is coming off a disappointing loss in Washington against a lowly Redskin team in which they had a major letdown after their week one win against Seattle. The Steelers will be getting Le'Veon Bell back this week from suspension and I believe that will be the difference here as Pittsburgh will win their second straight.
Prediction: Pittsburgh 33, St. Louis 24.
Indianapolis Colts (0-2) vs Tennessee Titans (1-1)- 1:00, CBS: Indianapolis has been the most disappointing team in the AFC so far and is coming off a bad home loss against the Jets and meanwhile, Tennessee has come back to earth last week in their loss in Cleveland against a lowly Browns team. Andrew Luck and the Colts can't afford to start 0-3 and I believe they won't and Luck leads the Colts to their first win.
Prediction: Indianapolis 30, Tennessee 20.
San Francisco 49ers (1-1) vs Arizona Cardinals (2-0)- 4:05, FOX: San Francisco came back to earth last week in their loss in Pittsburgh against a good Steelers team and Arizona is coming off a great road win in Chicago against the Bears. The Cardinals have been arguably the best team in the NFC the first two weeks and they'll make a statement at home against their division rivals for another win.
Prediction: Arizona 31, San Francisco 20.
Buffalo Bills (1-1) vs Miami Dolphins (1-1)- 4:25, CBS: Buffalo is coming off a disappointing home loss against the defending champion New England Patriots and Miami is coming off a disappointing loss in Jacksonville against the lowly Jaguars. Miami has not looked all that great in their two games thus far and their offensive line will struggle against a great Buffalo defensive line and that will be the difference here as the Bills pull off the road upset.
Prediction: Buffalo 27, Miami 24.
Chicago Bears (0-2) vs Seattle Seahawks (0-2)- 4:25, CBS: Chicago is coming off a disastrous home loss against the Arizona Cardinals in which Jay Cutler hurt his hamstring and now is out two weeks. Jimmy Clausen will get the start against a desperate Seattle team, coming off a loss at Lambeau against the Packers, that cannot afford to start 0-3. I believe Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch, and the defense will lead the Seahawks to their first win.
Prediction: Seattle 37, Chicago 23.
Denver Broncos (2-0) vs Detroit Lions (0-2)- 8:30, NBC: Denver is coming off a great come from behind win at Arrowhead against a good Chiefs team. Detroit is coming off a loss in Minneapolis against the Vikings. Detroit cannot afford to start 0-3 either, but Matthew Stafford is dealing with a rib injury and the Broncos with their good defense and perhaps a rejuvenated Peyton Manning that led the Broncos comeback, will lead them to a 3-0 start.
Prediction: Denver 33, Detroit 23.
Monday, September 28th
Kansas City Chiefs (1-1) vs Green Bay Packers (2-0)- 8:30, ESPN: Kansas City is coming off a disappointing home loss against the Denver Broncos, in which they had a two touchdown lead in early on in the game. Green Bay is coming off a huge home win against the Seattle Seahawks. I believe this game will be a closer game than the experts think, but Aaron Rodgers will lead the Packers to a 3-0 start.
Prediction: Green Bay 24, Kansas City 23.
Thursday, September 24th
Washington Redskins (1-1) vs New York Giants (0-2)- 8:25, CBS/NFLN: Washington is coming off a surprising win over the Rams and the Giants are coming off their second straight loss in which they had a ten point fourth quarter lead in. I think the Redskins defense comes back to earth this week and the Giants, who cannot afford to start 0-3, will get their first win of the season.
Prediction: NY Giants 31, Washington 20.
Sunday, September 27th
Cincinnati Bengals (2-0) vs Baltimore Ravens (0-2)- 1:00, CBS: Cincinnati is coming off a nice home win against the San Diego Chargers and Baltimore is coming off a tough loss in Oakland against the Raiders. The Ravens will be playing with desperation and they, like the Giants, cannot afford to start the season 0-3. I expect Joe Flacco to bounce back and the defense to play inspired here and pick up their first win of the season.
Prediction: Baltimore 27, Cincinnati 23.
New Orleans Saints (0-2) vs Carolina Panthers (2-0)- 1:00, FOX: The Saints are coming off a bad home loss against a lowly Bucs team and the Panthers are coming off a home win against the Texans. The Saints are another team that cannot afford to start 0-3, but I think they will because Drew Brees is dealing with a shoulder injury and could miss time. I see Cam Newton leading the Panthers to a 3-0 start here.
Prediction: Carolina 30, New Orleans 19.
Oakland Raiders (1-1) vs Cleveland Browns (1-1)- 1:00, CBS: Oakland is coming off a nice home win against the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland is coming off a nice bounce back win against the Tennessee Titans. Derek Carr came back from his injury and played really well and I think they'll get the win against a Brown team in which we don't know who'll start at quarterback yet this week with Josh McCown recovering from a concussion.
Prediction: Oakland 27, Cleveland 19.
Atlanta Falcons (2-0) vs Dallas Cowboys (2-0)- 1:00, FOX: Atlanta is coming off a terrific come from behind win against the Giants in the Meadowlands and the Cowboys are coming off a win in Philadelphia against the Eagles in which Tony Romo broke his collarbone and is out for eight weeks. The Cowboys will miss Romo in this game as Brandon Weeden will start under center and Matt Ryan and Julio Jones lead the Falcons to a 3-0 start.
Prediction: Atlanta 30, Dallas 23.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-1) vs Houston Texans (0-2)- 1:00, CBS: Tampa Bay is coming off a nice road win in the Super Dome against the Saints and Houston is coming off a loss against the Panthers. The Bucs have been a tale of two different teams in the first two weeks of the season and I believe JJ Waat will have some big sacks on Jameis Winston due to a bad Bucs offensive line and that will be the difference here as the Texans get their first win.
Prediction: Houston 26, Tampa Bay 21.
San Diego Chargers (1-1) vs Minnesota Vikings (1-1)- 1:00, CBS: San Diego is coming off a road loss in Cincinnati against the Bengals and Minnesota is coming off a nice home win against the Detroit Lions. This is a tough game to predict but I think Adrian Peterson has another good game and leads the Vikings to their second straight win.
Prediction: Minnesota 27, San Diego 24.
Jacksonville Jaguars (1-1) vs New England Patriots (2-0)- 1:00, CBS: Jacksonville is coming off a nice home win against the Miami Dolphins and the defending champions are coming off a good division road win in a Orchard Park against the Bills. Tom Brady has arguably been the MVP through the first two weeks of the season and I expect the Patriots to win big here because they are my lock of the week.
Prediction: New England 37, Jacksonville 17.
Philadelphia Eagles (0-2) vs New York Jets (2-0)- 1:00, FOX: Philadelphia has been the most disappointing team in the NFC and is coming off a disappointing home loss against a Cowboys team that lost Tony Romo during the game to a broken collarbone and was missing Dez Bryant due to a broken foot. The Jets, who are the biggest surprise in the AFC so far, is coming off a nice road win in Indianapolis against the Colts. The Jets defense has been terrific throughout the first two weeks and I believe they get the win here against an a Eagle team that can't afford to start 0-3.
Prediction: NY Jets 24, Philadelphia 20.
Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1) vs St. Louis Rams (1-1)- 1:00, CBS: Pittsburgh is coming off a great win against the San Francisco 49ers and St. Louis is coming off a disappointing loss in Washington against a lowly Redskin team in which they had a major letdown after their week one win against Seattle. The Steelers will be getting Le'Veon Bell back this week from suspension and I believe that will be the difference here as Pittsburgh will win their second straight.
Prediction: Pittsburgh 33, St. Louis 24.
Indianapolis Colts (0-2) vs Tennessee Titans (1-1)- 1:00, CBS: Indianapolis has been the most disappointing team in the AFC so far and is coming off a bad home loss against the Jets and meanwhile, Tennessee has come back to earth last week in their loss in Cleveland against a lowly Browns team. Andrew Luck and the Colts can't afford to start 0-3 and I believe they won't and Luck leads the Colts to their first win.
Prediction: Indianapolis 30, Tennessee 20.
San Francisco 49ers (1-1) vs Arizona Cardinals (2-0)- 4:05, FOX: San Francisco came back to earth last week in their loss in Pittsburgh against a good Steelers team and Arizona is coming off a great road win in Chicago against the Bears. The Cardinals have been arguably the best team in the NFC the first two weeks and they'll make a statement at home against their division rivals for another win.
Prediction: Arizona 31, San Francisco 20.
Buffalo Bills (1-1) vs Miami Dolphins (1-1)- 4:25, CBS: Buffalo is coming off a disappointing home loss against the defending champion New England Patriots and Miami is coming off a disappointing loss in Jacksonville against the lowly Jaguars. Miami has not looked all that great in their two games thus far and their offensive line will struggle against a great Buffalo defensive line and that will be the difference here as the Bills pull off the road upset.
Prediction: Buffalo 27, Miami 24.
Chicago Bears (0-2) vs Seattle Seahawks (0-2)- 4:25, CBS: Chicago is coming off a disastrous home loss against the Arizona Cardinals in which Jay Cutler hurt his hamstring and now is out two weeks. Jimmy Clausen will get the start against a desperate Seattle team, coming off a loss at Lambeau against the Packers, that cannot afford to start 0-3. I believe Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch, and the defense will lead the Seahawks to their first win.
Prediction: Seattle 37, Chicago 23.
Denver Broncos (2-0) vs Detroit Lions (0-2)- 8:30, NBC: Denver is coming off a great come from behind win at Arrowhead against a good Chiefs team. Detroit is coming off a loss in Minneapolis against the Vikings. Detroit cannot afford to start 0-3 either, but Matthew Stafford is dealing with a rib injury and the Broncos with their good defense and perhaps a rejuvenated Peyton Manning that led the Broncos comeback, will lead them to a 3-0 start.
Prediction: Denver 33, Detroit 23.
Monday, September 28th
Kansas City Chiefs (1-1) vs Green Bay Packers (2-0)- 8:30, ESPN: Kansas City is coming off a disappointing home loss against the Denver Broncos, in which they had a two touchdown lead in early on in the game. Green Bay is coming off a huge home win against the Seattle Seahawks. I believe this game will be a closer game than the experts think, but Aaron Rodgers will lead the Packers to a 3-0 start.
Prediction: Green Bay 24, Kansas City 23.

2015 College Football Week 4 Picks
Here are my picks for week four of the 2015 College Football season.
Thursday, September 24th
Cincinnati (2-1; 0-0) at Memphis (3-0; 0-0)- 7:30, ESPN: This is a fun conference matchup to kick off the week as two of the top teams in the AAC face off in a critical matchup that can determine who wins the AAC East division title. Memphis has been very impressive so far and I like them here to beat Cincinnati at home.
Pick: Memphis
Friday, September 25th
Boise State (2-1; 0-0) at Virginia (1-2; 0-0)- 8:00, ESPN
Pick: Boise State
(21) Stanford (2-1; 1-0) at Oregon State (2-1; 0-0)- 10:00, FS1: This should be fun conference since Stanford is coming off a big time road win at the Coliseum against USC and it would be interesting to see if they pass another big road test in Corvallis, where it's never easy to play. I think Stanford has a lot of momentum going into this game and I believe Kevin Hogan leads them to another road win.
Pick: Stanford
Saturday, September 26th
Kansas (0-2; 0-0) at Rutgers (1-2; 0-1)- 12:00, BTN
Pick: Rutgers
(22) BYU (2-1) at Michigan (2-1; 0-0)- 12:00, ABC: This should be an interesting game for both sides as Jim Harbaugh's squad takes on a ranked BYU team at the Big House. This is a tough game to pick, but I like Tanner Mangum to lead BYU to win this one on the road.
Pick: BYU
Central Michigan (1-2; 0-0) at (2) Michigan State (3-0; 0-0)- 12:00, BTN

Pick: Nebraska
(20) Georgia Tech (2-1; 0-0) at Duke (2-1; 0-0)- 12:00, ESPN2: This is a big conference game as both teams look to bounce back from losses to Notre Dame and Northwestern, respectively. Georgia Tech is the better team here and I think they win this one on the road.
Pick: Georgia Tech
Southern (2-1; 2-0) at (7) Georgia (3-0; 2-0)- 12:00, SECN
Pick: Georgia
UCF (0-3; 0-0) at South Carolina (1-2; 0-2)- 12:00, ESPNU

Pick: Indiana
Northern Illinois (2-1; 0-0) at Boston College (2-1; 0-1)- 1:00, ESPN3: This is a tough game to pick since Northern Illinois played well in Columbus against Ohio State last week and BC was shut out at home against a good Florida State team, even though their defense played well. Expect a low scoring battle here and for BC to win this one.
Pick: Boston College
Nicholls State (0-2; 0-0) at Colorado (2-1; 0-0)- 1:30
Pick: Colorado
FIU (2-1; 0-0) at Louisiana Tech (1-2; 0-1)- 2:30

New Mexico (1-2; 0-0) at Wyoming (0-3; 0-0)- 3:00

Pick: Penn State
(24) Oklahoma State (3-0; 0-0) at Texas (1-2; 0-0)- 3:30, ESPN: This should be a fun game in the Big-12 as these two rivals face each other. Texas looks to bounce back from a devastating loss against Cal and Oklahoma State looks to keep its ranking and win a big conference game on the road. The Cowboys have looked awfully impressive early on and I like them to get the win here.
Pick: Oklahoma State
Virginia Tech (2-1; 0-0) at East Carolina (1-2; 0-1)- 3:30, ABC/ESPN2
Pick: Virginia Tech
Tennessee (2-1; 0-0) at Florida (3-0; 1-0)- 3:30, CBS: This is a huge matchup in the SEC East early on as Florida looks to stay undefeated and Tennessee looks to make a statement. The Vols are the better team here and I think they get it done in The Swamp.
Pick: Tennessee
Miami (OH) (1-2; 0-0) at Western Kentucky (2-1; 1-0)- 3:30, CBSSN
Pick: Western Kentucky
Appalachian State (1-1; 0-0) at Old Dominion (2-1; 0-0)- 3:30

Pick: Illinois
(3) TCU (3-0; 0-0) at Texas Tech (3-0; 0-0)- 4:30, FOX: This game can determine big time to determine who wins the Big-12. Texas Tech is off to a surprising 3-0 start and TCU has shown some vulnerability in two of their first three games. I think Gary Patterson will have his team ready to go and Trevone Boykin will have a big game to lead the Horned Frogs to a big conference road win.
Pick: TCU
California (3-0; 0-0) at Washington (2-1; 0-0)- 5:00, PAC-12N: This is a big game in the Pac-12 North as Cal tries to stay unbeaten and Washington looks to win it's third straight at home. I like Jared Goff to continue his success and for Cal to win another big road game.
Pick: California
Army (0-3) at Eastern Michigan (1-2; 0-1)- 6:00, ESPN3
Pick: Eastern Michigan
Samford (2-1; 0-1) at Louisville (0-3; 0-1)- 6:00, ESPN3
Pick: Louisville
(14) Texas A&M (3-0; 0-0) vs Arkansas (1-2; 0-0)- 7:00, ESPN (AT&T Stadium): Texas A&M has been one of the best teams in the country early on while Arkansas has been one of the more disappointing teams in the country. I like the Aggies to continue their success here in a neutral site game that's in their state once again.
Pick: Texas A&M
Vanderbilt (1-2; 0-1) at (3) Ole Miss (3-0; 1-0)- 7:00, ESPNU: Ole Miss is coming off a big time win in Tuscaloosa and I don't see a meltdown against arguably the worst team in the conference in Vandy.
Pick: Ole Miss
Akron (1-2; 0-0) at UL-Lafayette (1-1; 0-0)- 7:00, ESPN3
Pick: UL-Lafayette
Arkansas State (1-2; 0-0) at Toledo (2-0; 0-0)- 7:00, ESPN3

Pick: SMU
Mississippi State (2-1; 0-1) at Auburn (2-1; 0-1)- 7:30, ESPN2: This is a big game in the SEC West between a Mississippi State team that's being overlooked and an Auburn team that is not living up to the preseason hype. I really think Dak Prescott will lead the Bulldogs to a big road win in Auburn.
Pick: Mississippi State
(25) Missouri (3-0; 0-0) at Kentucky (2-1; 1-1)- 7:30, SECN: This is another big SEC game except its between two East teams. Missouri looked sluggish in its home win over UConn and Kentucky is looking to bounce back from its home loss against Florida. This is a tough game to pick, but I believe Kentucky bounces back and wins.
Pick: Kentucky
NC State (3-0; 0-0) at South Alabama (2-1; 0-0)- 8:00, ESPNEWS
Pick: NC State
(9) UCLA (3-0; 0-0) at (16) Arizona (3-0; 0-0)- 8:00, ABC: This is perhaps the biggest and best game of the weekend as two Pac-12 South teams look to stay unbeaten. ESPN's College GameDay will be on site for this marquee matchup as well. Josh Rosen hasn't played as well as he did since UCLA's game against Virginia and Arizona's has been dominant offensively so far as well. I like the Wildcats to win this one at home.
Pick: Arizona
Ball State (2-1; 1-0) at (17) Northwestern (3-0; 0-0)- 8:00, BTN
Pick: Northwestern
Texas State (1-2; 0-0) at Houston (2-0; 0-0)- 8:00, ESPN3

Pick: UTEP
(18) Utah (3-0; 0-0) at (13) Oregon (2-1; 0-0)- 8:30, FOX: Here's another huge Pac-12 game on the schedule this weekend as Utah looks to stay unbeaten and Oregon looks to make a statement at home. Vernon Adams Jr should be back for Oregon this week, so I like them to hand the Utes their first loss of the season.
Pick: Oregon
Idaho State (1-2; 0-1) at UNLV (0-3; 0-0)- 9:00
Pick: UNLV
Georgia Southern (2-1; 0-0) at Idaho (1-2; 0-0)- 9:00, ESPN3

Pick: Fresno State
(19) USC (2-1; 0-1) at Arizona State (2-1; 0-0)- 10:30, ESPN: Here's another big Pac-12 matchup on the schedule as USC looks to bounce back from a disappointing home loss against Stanford and Arizona State looks to get a big win at home. The Sun Devils haven't looked all that great yet and I like Cody Kessler and the Trojans to get the big road win in Tempe.
Pick: USC
Thursday, September 24th
Cincinnati (2-1; 0-0) at Memphis (3-0; 0-0)- 7:30, ESPN: This is a fun conference matchup to kick off the week as two of the top teams in the AAC face off in a critical matchup that can determine who wins the AAC East division title.

NC State (3-0; 0-0) at South Alabama (2-1; 0-0)- 8:00, ESPNEWS
Pick: NC State
(9) UCLA (3-0; 0-0) at (16) Arizona (3-0; 0-0)- 8:00, ABC: This is perhaps the biggest and best game of the weekend as two Pac-12 South teams look to stay unbeaten. ESPN's College GameDay will be on site for this marquee matchup as well. Josh Rosen hasn't played as well as he did since UCLA's game against Virginia and Arizona's has been dominant offensively so far as well. I like the Wildcats to win this one at home.
Pick: Arizona
Ball State (2-1; 1-0) at (17) Northwestern (3-0; 0-0)- 8:00, BTN
Pick: Northwestern
Texas State (1-2; 0-0) at Houston (2-0; 0-0)- 8:00, ESPN3
Pick: Houston
Hawaii (2-1; 0-0) at (22) Wisconsin (2-1; 0-0)- 8:00, BTN
Pick: Wisconsin
Incarnate Word (2-1; 1-1) at UTEP (1-2; 0-0)- 8:00
Pick: UTEP
(18) Utah (3-0; 0-0) at (13) Oregon (2-1; 0-0)- 8:30, FOX: Here's another huge Pac-12 game on the schedule this weekend as Utah looks to stay unbeaten and Oregon looks to make a statement at home. Vernon Adams Jr should be back for Oregon this week, so I like them to hand the Utes their first loss of the season.
Pick: Oregon
Idaho State (1-2; 0-1) at UNLV (0-3; 0-0)- 9:00
Pick: UNLV
Georgia Southern (2-1; 0-0) at Idaho (1-2; 0-0)- 9:00, ESPN3
Pick: Idaho
Fresno State (1-2; 0-0) at San Jose State (1-2; 0-1)- 10:30, CBSSN
Pick: Fresno State
(19) USC (2-1; 0-1) at Arizona State (2-1; 0-0)- 10:30, ESPN: Here's another big Pac-12 matchup on the schedule as USC looks to bounce back from a disappointing home loss against Stanford and Arizona State looks to get a big win at home. The Sun Devils haven't looked all that great yet and I like Cody Kessler and the Trojans to get the big road win in Tempe.
Pick: USC

2015 NFL Week 2 Picks
Here are my picks for week two of the 2015 NFL season.
Thursday, September 17th
Denver Broncos (1-0) vs Kansas City Chiefs (1-0)- 8:25, CBS/NFLN: This should be a fun matchup as two division rivals kick off week two. Peyton Manning and Denver's offense struggled in week one against the Ravens, who have a good defense. Kansas City is coming off a nice win in Houston against the Texans in which the offense looked fine and the defense looked pretty good as well. Expect both teams running games to be great with CJ Anderson and Jamaal Charles, respectively. Manning is 6-0 against the Chiefs as a Bronco, but I think that changes this week as Andy Reid gets his first win against Denver as Chiefs head coach.
Prediction: Kansas City 27, Denver 21.
Sunday, September 20th
New England Patriots (1-0) vs Buffalo Bills (1-0)- 1:00, CBS: This should be a fun matchup as Rex Ryan's new club takes on their division rivals in the Pats. Tom Brady and the Patriots played well in their opener against the Steelers and the Bills and new quarterback Tyrod Taylor played great against Andrew Luck and the Colts. Ryan will have the Bills motivated and ready and that crowd will be rocking, but something tells me that Brady and the Patriots will win this game in dramatic fashion.
Prediction: New England 24, Buffalo 23.
Houston Texans (0-1) vs Carolina Panthers (1-0)- 1:00, CBS: Houston struggled in their opener against Kansas City and Brian Hoyer got benched during the game in favor of Ryan Mallet, who got the Texans back in the game only to come up short. Carolina found a way to win their opener against Jacksonville, despite not playing their best. This is a tough game to pick, but I like Cam Newton and the Panthers to find a way in their home opener.
Prediction: Carolina 26, Houston 21.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-1) vs New Orleans Saints (0-1)- 1:00, FOX: Tampa Bay was probably the worst team of week one as they were blown out at home against Marcus Mariota and the Titans. New Orleans didn't play well in their loss against Arizona, either. I expect both Jameis Winston and Drew Brees to play better, but I believe Brees will shred a bad Bucs defense the Saints will win their home opener after losing five (!!) games at home last season.
Prediction: New Orleans 37, Tampa Bay 20.
San Diego Chargers (1-0) vs Cincinnati Bengals (1-0)- 1:00, CBS: This is perhaps the best game of the 1:00 slate as two AFC contenders face off. San Diego is coming off a great comeback win over the Detroit Lions and Cincinnati is coming off a blowout win in Oakland against the Raiders. I expect both quarterbacks to play well as well as their talented weapons such as Keenan Allen and AJ Green, respectively. I like Cincinnati here at home and their defense to make the stops late in the game to seal the win.
Prediction: Cincinnati 27, San Diego 23.
Tennessee Titans (1-0) vs Cleveland Browns (0-1)- 1:00, CBS: Tennessee is coming off a great win in Tampa against the Bucs and Cleveland is coming off a bad loss at MetLife against the Jets. Cleveland also lost Josh McCown during the game to a concussion as JohnnyFlop Football replaced him. Neither of these teams were projected to be great, but not knowing McCown's status for Sunday yet, I'm going to pick the Titans here, but I don't feel good about it.
Prediction: Tennessee 27, Cleveland 19.
Detroit Lions (0-1) vs Minnesota Vikings (0-1)- 1:00, FOX: Detroit is coming off a loss against San Diego in a game which they had a 21-3 lead in. Minnesota is coming off a disastrous loss in San Francisco against the 49ers. I expect Teddy Bridgewater and Adrian Peterson to bounce back at home against a Lions team had looked horrible in the second half against the Chargers.
Prediction: Minnesota 26, Detroit 24.
Atlanta Falcons (1-0) vs New York Giants (0-1)- 1:00, FOX: Atlanta is coming off a nice home win against an Eagles team that got a lot of hype entering the season. The Giants are coming off a heartbreaking loss in Dallas against the Cowboys in which Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning made a crucial mistake late in the game, which is well documented at this point. The Giants defense (other than the final two Dallas drives) played better than pretty much anyone could have expected without Jason Pierre-Paul, but that can't really be said for the Falcons in the second half in which the Eagles took the lead after the Falcons led 20-3 at the half. I like the Giants to put what happened at the end of the Dallas game behind them and to win their home opener.
Prediction: NY Giants 30, Atlanta 23.
San Francisco 49ers (1-0) vs Pittsburgh Steelers (0-1)- 1:00, FOX: San Francisco is coming off a very nice home win over Minnesota to open the season after all the turmoil they had in the offseason. Pittsburgh is coming off a tough loss in New England on opening night against the defending champs. This game might end up being a good one, but I like Pittsburgh to win here at home and I'm not sure if the Niners are as good as they looked on Monday night.
Prediction: Pittsburgh 30, San Francisco 20.
St. Louis Rams (1-0) vs Washington Redskins (0-1)- 1:00, FOX: St. Louis is coming off a great overtime win against the defending NFC champion Seattle Seahawks. Washington is coming off a loss against the Dolphins in which they led 10-0 late in the second quarter in. I like the Rams and that great defensive line to play great against a bad Washington offensive line and to start the year 2-0.
Prediction: St. Louis 27, Washington 16.
Arizona Cardinals (1-0) vs Chicago Bears (0-1)- 1:00, FOX: Arizona is coming off a terrific win against New Orleans at home in which Carson Palmer played great as well as the defense. Chicago is coming off a home loss to the Packers, in which they weren't terrible in. I expect the Bears to be competitive again in this game, but I like Arizona to continue their success and win this one on the road.
Prediction: Arizona 30, Chicago 23.
Miami Dolphins (1-0) vs Jacksonville Jaguars (1-0)- 4:05, CBS: Miami is coming off a season opening win in Washington against the Redskins in which they trailed 10-0 late in the second quarter. Jacksonville is coming off a home loss to Carolina to open their season. I don't think Miami played particularly great against Washington, but I expect them to play better and win here against the Jags.
Prediction: Miami 27, Jacksonville 19.
Baltimore Ravens (1-0) vs Oakland Raiders (0-1)- 4:05, CBS: Baltimore is coming off a heartbreaking loss in Denver against the Broncos in which A) they didn't score an offensive touchdown and B) Joe Flacco threw an interception in the en-zone to end the game. Oakland is coming off a dreadful loss against the Bengals in which Derek Carr left the game with a hand injury. I like the Ravens and their offense to bounce back against a bad Oakland defense and win. With Carr's status uncertain, Baltimore is my lock of the week.
Prediction: Baltimore 36, Oakland 17.
Dallas Cowboys (1-0) vs Philadelphia Eagles (0-1)- 4:25, FOX: Dallas is coming off a great come from behind win against the Giants at home. The Eagles are coming off a bad loss in Atlanta against the Falcons in which Chip Kelly made a few bad decisions late in the game. Dez Bryant is out for a while with a broken foot and that's a big loss for Dallas. DeMarco Murray was horrible in his Eagle debut, but I expect him to bounce back against his former team and the 'Boys will regret letting him go.
Prediction: Philadelphia 34, Dallas 30.
Seattle Seahawks (0-1) vs Green Bay Packers (1-0)- 8:30, NBC: Seattle is coming off a heartbreaking loss against the Rams in which they clearly missed Kam Chancellor, who is holding out for a new contract. Green Bay is coming off a win in Chicago against the Bears in which they trailed at halftime. Is is possible that Seattle goes 0-2? Well, I think they will as I think Green Bay is poised for revenge against the team they lost the NFC Championship game and the "Fail Mary" game to from a few years back.
Prediction: Green Bay 34, Seattle 27.
Monday, September 21st
New York Jets (1-0) vs Indianapolis Colts (0-1)- 8:15, ESPN: The Jets are coming off a nice win against home against the Cleveland Browns. The Colts on the other hand, are coming off a bad loss against Rex Ryan's Buffalo Bills. Now the Colts take on Ryan's former team and I believe they'll bounce back at home and win. I considered choosing the Colts as my lock, but the Jets, like the Bills, have a good defense and the Colts have a poor offensive line.
Prediction: Indianapolis 30, NY Jets 17.
Thursday, September 17th
Denver Broncos (1-0) vs Kansas City Chiefs (1-0)- 8:25, CBS/NFLN: This should be a fun matchup as two division rivals kick off week two. Peyton Manning and Denver's offense struggled in week one against the Ravens, who have a good defense. Kansas City is coming off a nice win in Houston against the Texans in which the offense looked fine and the defense looked pretty good as well. Expect both teams running games to be great with CJ Anderson and Jamaal Charles, respectively. Manning is 6-0 against the Chiefs as a Bronco, but I think that changes this week as Andy Reid gets his first win against Denver as Chiefs head coach.
Prediction: Kansas City 27, Denver 21.
Sunday, September 20th
New England Patriots (1-0) vs Buffalo Bills (1-0)- 1:00, CBS: This should be a fun matchup as Rex Ryan's new club takes on their division rivals in the Pats. Tom Brady and the Patriots played well in their opener against the Steelers and the Bills and new quarterback Tyrod Taylor played great against Andrew Luck and the Colts. Ryan will have the Bills motivated and ready and that crowd will be rocking, but something tells me that Brady and the Patriots will win this game in dramatic fashion.

Houston Texans (0-1) vs Carolina Panthers (1-0)- 1:00, CBS: Houston struggled in their opener against Kansas City and Brian Hoyer got benched during the game in favor of Ryan Mallet, who got the Texans back in the game only to come up short. Carolina found a way to win their opener against Jacksonville, despite not playing their best. This is a tough game to pick, but I like Cam Newton and the Panthers to find a way in their home opener.

Prediction: Tennessee 27, Cleveland 19.

Minnesota is coming off a disastrous loss in San Francisco against the 49ers.

I expect the Bears to be competitive again in this game, but I like Arizona to continue their success and win this one on the road.
Prediction: Arizona 30, Chicago 23.
Miami Dolphins (1-0) vs Jacksonville Jaguars (1-0)- 4:05, CBS: Miami is coming off a season opening win in Washington against the Redskins in which they trailed 10-0 late in the second quarter. Jacksonville is coming off a home loss to Carolina to open their season. I don't think Miami played particularly great against Washington, but I expect them to play better and win here against the Jags.
Prediction: Miami 27, Jacksonville 19.
Baltimore Ravens (1-0) vs Oakland Raiders (0-1)- 4:05, CBS: Baltimore is coming off a heartbreaking loss in Denver against the Broncos in which A) they didn't score an offensive touchdown and B) Joe Flacco threw an interception in the en-zone to end the game. Oakland is coming off a dreadful loss against the Bengals in which Derek Carr left the game with a hand injury. I like the Ravens and their offense to bounce back against a bad Oakland defense and win. With Carr's status uncertain, Baltimore is my lock of the week.
Prediction: Baltimore 36, Oakland 17.
Dallas Cowboys (1-0) vs Philadelphia Eagles (0-1)- 4:25, FOX: Dallas is coming off a great come from behind win against the Giants at home. The Eagles are coming off a bad loss in Atlanta against the Falcons in which Chip Kelly made a few bad decisions late in the game. Dez Bryant is out for a while with a broken foot and that's a big loss for Dallas. DeMarco Murray was horrible in his Eagle debut, but I expect him to bounce back against his former team and the 'Boys will regret letting him go.
Prediction: Philadelphia 34, Dallas 30.
Seattle Seahawks (0-1) vs Green Bay Packers (1-0)- 8:30, NBC: Seattle is coming off a heartbreaking loss against the Rams in which they clearly missed Kam Chancellor, who is holding out for a new contract. Green Bay is coming off a win in Chicago against the Bears in which they trailed at halftime. Is is possible that Seattle goes 0-2? Well, I think they will as I think Green Bay is poised for revenge against the team they lost the NFC Championship game and the "Fail Mary" game to from a few years back.
Prediction: Green Bay 34, Seattle 27.
Monday, September 21st
New York Jets (1-0) vs Indianapolis Colts (0-1)- 8:15, ESPN: The Jets are coming off a nice win against home against the Cleveland Browns. The Colts on the other hand, are coming off a bad loss against Rex Ryan's Buffalo Bills. Now the Colts take on Ryan's former team and I believe they'll bounce back at home and win. I considered choosing the Colts as my lock, but the Jets, like the Bills, have a good defense and the Colts have a poor offensive line.
Prediction: Indianapolis 30, NY Jets 17.

2015 College Football Week 3 Picks
Here are my picks for week 3 of the 2015 College Football season.
Thursday, September 17th
(11) Clemson (2-0; 0-0) at Louisville (0-2; 0-0)- 7:30, ESPN: Clemson has been one of the better teams through the first two weeks of the season, but on the flip side, Louisville has been one of the biggest disappointments of the first two weeks. I expect this to be a close game, but I like Clemson to win this one.
Pick: Clemson
Friday, September 18th
(9) Florida State (2-0; 0-0) at Boston College (2-0; 0-0)- 8:00, ESPN: This game should be a really fun game down in Chestnut Hill. Both teams are off to 2-0 starts and are both very good teams and fun ones, too. I like Florida State and Everett Golson to steal this game on the road, but BC cannot be ruled out here.
Pick: Florida State

Pick: Syracuse
(23) Northwestern (2-0; 0-0) at Duke (2-0; 0-0)- 12:30, ESPN3: Northwestern has exceeded expectations so far through two weeks while Duke has gotten off to a fast start as well. This is a tough call but I'm going to go with 'Cats on the road.
Pick: Northwestern
Georgia State (1-1; 1-0) at (12) Oregon (1-1; 0-0)- 2:00, Pac-12N
Pick: Oregon
Southeastern Louisiana (2-0; 1-0) at Ohio (2-0; 0-0)- 2:00, ESPN3

Pick: Virginia Tech
(14) Georgia Tech (2-0; 0-0) at (8) Notre Dame (2-0)- 3:30, NBC: This should be a terrific game between two top 25 teams. Notre Dame lost their quarterback Malik Zaire for the season with a broken ankle, so that opens the door for Georgia Tech. I do think Georgia Tech can win, but I really think despite not having Zaire, Notre Dame is very talented, well coached, and they'll be motivated at home and they will win this one.
Pick: Notre Dame
Nebraska (1-1; 0-0) at Miami (FL) (2-0; 0-0)- 3:30, ABC/ESPN2
Pick: Nebraska
(18) Auburn (2-0; 0-0) at (13) LSU (1-0; 1-0)- 3:30, CBS: This should be a terrific game between these two division rivals. Auburn almost lost against Jacksonville State (!!) but ended up winning in overtime. LSU is coming off a great road win in Starkville to beat Mississippi State. I think LSU takes advantage of a few Jeremy Johnson turnovers and win this one at home in Death Valley.
Pick: LSU
Northwestern (0-2; 0-1) at Mississippi State (1-1; 0-1)- 3:30, SECN
Pick: Mississippi State
Austin Peay (0-2; 0-0) at Vanderbilt (0-2; 0-1)- 3:30, SECN+

Pick: Washington
South Carolina (1-1; 0-1) at (7) Georgia (2-0; 1-0)- 6:00, ESPN: This should be a fun game between two division rivals. I like Georgia to win this one but it will be closer than the experts think.

Pick: Colorado State
Florida (2-0; 0-0) at Kentucky (2-0; 1-0;)- 7:00, SECN: This should be a fun matchup between these division rivals. I like Kentucky to win this one at home.
Pick: Kentucky
California (2-0; 0-0) at Texas (1-1; 0-0)- 7:30, FOX: This should be an interesting Pac-12 vs Big-12 game between these two clubs. Cal is off to a great start and Texas is pretty much a tale of two different teams from what we saw against Notre Dame and Rice, respectively. I like Texas at home in a close game.
Pick: Texas
Rutgers (1-1; 0-0) at Penn State (1-1; 0-0)- 8:00, BTN

Pick: Iowa
Stanford (1-1; 0-0) at (6) USC (2-0; 0-0)- 8:00, ABC: This should be a fun game between these conference rivals. USC and Cody Kessler are off to a great start and Stanford looked like two different teams in their first two games. I believe Stanford will look like the team we saw last week, but USC will win a close game.
Pick: USC
San Jose State (1-1; 0-1) at Oregon State (1-1; 0-0)- 8:00, Pac-12N

Pick: Washington State
(15) Ole Miss (2-0; 0-0) at (2) Alabama (2-0; 0-0)- 9:15, ESPN: This should be a fun matchup between these two division rivals. ESPN's College GameDay will be on site in Tuscaloosa for this game. Both teams looked terrific in their first two games, but I really like Alabama here at home. Roll tide!
Pick: Alabama
(19) BYU (2-0) at (10) UCLA (2-0; 0-0)- 10:30, FS1: I don't know if a lot of people circled this game before the season started as a must watch. It's a must watch now with BYU winning their first two games in heroic fashion both times and UCLA and Josh Rosen looking to make another big statement. This game will be closer than the experts think, but I believe Rosen outplays Tanner Mangum and UCLA wins at home.
