Pittsburgh Steelers at St. Louis Rams: Pittsburgh Steelers - Rams are somehow sub-par against the run, even with that filthy front 4, and the Steelies get Bell back. Either Brown or Bell will go off(maybe both) and it wont be pretty for the Rams. 38-10 Steelers
New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers: Carolina Panthers - Brees burned me on my DFS cash games last week. f*ck him. I expect Cam and Stewart to run all over these guys after what Winston was able to do in the SuperDome. Time for a rebuild down in the bayou? Quite possibly... 30-20 Panthers
Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans: Indianapolis Colts - Luck is just too good of a QB to allow an 0-3 start. Colts finally remember what an offense looks like and have their way with Titans. 34-14 Colts
Atlanta Falcons at Dallas Cowboys: Atlanta Falcons Hate to break it to dem boyz but unless Joseph Randle drank Walter Paytons ashes, he's not gonna carry this team and certainly Weeden won't either. Julio is gonna have a field day all over the Cowboy's schoolyard. 42-14 Atlanta
Kansas City Chiefs at Green Bay Packers: Green Bay Packers - If this one was in Kansas, I'd have to think about it a little longer. Jamal Charles is built to rack up yards agaisnt the GB defense that is middle of the pack against the run and the pass, but GB at Lambeau is simply not something you bet against even without Jordie Nelson stretching the field like taffy and the potential for no Eddie Lacy. Rodgers is just too good at making his teammates look elite. 24-21 for the Cheesers.

Maybe nobody likes the NFC East?
I mean honestly if they all 4 lost every game they played I'd be happy. Sadly that can't happen.
NYG and Philly should lose for their horrendous fans. Washington should lose for their horrible owner, and until they change their nickname. Dallas gets the double whammy of terrible fans plus terrible owner.
I think they spent more time talking about the pope when I was watching than the actual game.
I forgot there was a game on.
I feel like this was a good decision.

Little known fact.
The Chiefs are undefeated at Lambeau Field.
Adam Teicher did a story on this for ESPN, including a quite a bit from one the greatest games in franchise history. Funny enough, I was lucky enough to be in Green Bay for that game.
Almost 12 years have passed since the Kansas City Chiefs played one of the greatest games in franchise history. But their quarterback on Oct. 12, 2003, Trent Green, remembers plenty of the details of a 40-34 win over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.Green recalled the Chiefs coming back from a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit to send the game into overtime, his 400 passing yards, the Green Bay fumble that set up the winning touchdown.
Of course Green remembered the 51-yard touchdown pass to Eddie Kennison that settled things. He also recalled the details of the play: how the safeties rotated as he hoped, how the play-action fake to running back Priest Holmes bought him the extra second he needed to make the throw, how he knew he was going to Kennison because the veteran wide receiver was single-covered by a rookie.
Green recalled one more story about that day that he never saw before or after in his 12-season NFL career. It, too, is a story that can be told only about Lambeau Field."We had just come back from 17 points down to beat the Packers in overtime and when we left the stadium that day, I distinctly remember as we were going through the parking lot, people were clapping their hands and giving us the thumbs up and it's not just Chiefs fans that went to the game," he said. "It was mostly Packers fans. They were applauding us. I don't mean they had a parade out of the city for us but there were a lot of people telling us good luck, wishing us well, telling us it was a good game. I was in shock. It tells you a lot about the people up there and the appreciation they have for good football."
This second part really resonated for me. I was wearing one of Will Shields' practice jerseys from one of his Pro Bowl appearances, which was conveniently Chiefs Red. Not only was the entire experience in Green Bay fantastic, as the fans were super welcoming and really seemed to care that we enjoyed ourselves, as we left the game, Packer fans were patting me on the back and saying "Good game." It was surreal as heck. It was such a good day, I bought a Brett Favre jersey at the stadium to bring home for my wife, since she was a fan of his long before he known as a hot dog photographer.
So yeah, I picked the Chiefs. They don't lose in Green Bay. But I do cheer for the Packers otherwise.
I forgot to make my picks last week. That's why I'm going 5-0 this week, right?

Same. Though I did turn it on for a second, saw Washington and noped the f- out.
New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers: Carolina Panthers - Brees burned me on my DFS cash games last week. f*ck him. I expect Cam and Stewart to run all over these guys after what Winston was able to do in the SuperDome. Time for a rebuild down in the bayou? Quite possibly... 30-20 Panthers
Oh this is a rebuild year, except they were saddled with Brees' contract and getting rid of him wasn't an option. I fully believe the Saints organization is aiming for a top 10 pick at this point. Bad contracts have put them there.
The Jags are 1-1.
They are .500 for the first time in 4 years.
Wow.
The Colts kept me from going 5-0 last week. Surely they don't start 0-3...right?

I can get down with that hashtag.
No matter who wins, we lose.
I gotta think that Archie Manning is somewhere in the top 500 of your list, Legion.
Excellent list.
Watch them win.
