NFL Week #3: The Week’s Best Bets
Written by Fantasy Furnace
This should be the week that trends begin to take shape, separating the future contenders from the pretenders. Did you know that five teams remain undefeated while six are winless? And that one team has given just 17 points in their two games while another holds the league high at 79?
We went a disappointing 3-2 last week bringing our season total to 7-3. Here’s this weeks picks:
*Home team in CAPS
COWBOYS over the Buccaneers- Notwithstanding Dallas’ loss to the Seahawks last week, (a lot of teams have a difficult time in Seattle with that crowd noise), we believe that the ‘Boys home opener will result in their second win of the season.

Still not impressed with Buffalo although Cleveland will see plenty of C.J. Spiller this Sunday. If he can be contained the way LeSean McCoy was, then Cleveland should garner their first win of the season.

COLTS over the Jaguars- QB Andrew Luck led the Colts to their first win 23-20 over the Vikings at Lucas Oil Stadium last week. He’ll be home again and will bring his 533 season passing yards with him. He does need to lower his INTs but he showed great poise in the victory. WR Reggie Wayne, TE Colby Fleener and RB Donald Brown will...
