Carolina at Miami: We know this happened last week, but a kind reader (we have one!) pointed out that this one was not included in last week's picks, so we'll just cut and paste it from last week's file.

Must have been a blip in the computer or something.

Steve Smith has a huge game for the Panthers (about 170 yards receiving and three touchdowns) but the Dolphins somehow pull off the upset 30-27. Call it a hunch.

Houston at Cincinnati: After scoring his fourth TD of the game, Bengals WR Chad Johnson celebrates by writing individual thank you letters to the Texans' defensive backs. Bengals 38, Texans 10.

Denver at Jacksonville: Someone asked me the other day if I ever thought about going to Jacksonville. After some thought, I said no. Jaguars 13, Broncos 6.

San Diego at New England: The Patriots are so strapped for players they consider using Bob Kraft's ego on the offensive line to protect "Golden Boy" Tom Brady from getting hurt. Chargers 24, Patriots 17.

Buffalo at New Orleans: Bills QB J.P. Losman threw for 75 yards and a pick last week. That's just 75 more yards than you and I combined for last week. And we didn't turn the ball over. Bills 7, Saints 6.

St. Louis at New York Giants: If Eli Manning gets hurt, the Giants better bring back Phil Simms. Washed up QBs are all the rage right now in New York City. Giants 20, Rams 17.

Detroit at Tampa Bay: It's about this time each year when you tend to forget Detroit has a football team. Then Thanksgiving pops up and you're like "Oh yeah, the Lions. That's right." Bucs 23, Lions 3.

Indianapolis at Tennessee: Do you think people go to Titans' games, sit down in their seat, spill beer on their shirt, adjust their hats, look down at the field and suddenly say "What are we doing here?" Colts 44, Titans 6.

Seattle at Washington: Mark Brunell is so old he gets into movies for free. Seahawks 28, Redskins 17.

New York Jets at Baltimore: Vinny Testaverde was a good pickup for the Jets. Oh, wait ... what? It's 2005? Not 1985? Vinny Testaverde was a bad pickup for the Jets. Ravens 20, Jets 0.

Minnesota at Atlanta: Asking Mike Tice about job security is like asking a prostitute about health care. Falcons 24, Vikings 23.

Philadelphia at Kansas City: Dick Vermeil was talking in the library the other day when the librarian rightfully told him to be quiet. He broke down into tears, screaming, "Why does she have to be so honest?! Someone do something! Make her apologize!" Eagles 17, Chiefs 10.

Dallas at Oakland: Remember that old philosophical question: If Drew Bledsoe falls in a pocket and no fans are there to see it, does it still make a sound? Think about that for a day or two. Cowboys 31, Raiders 24.

San Francisco at Arizona (in Mexico City) For some reason, all the running backs in this one run a little faster than they do when playing in the states. Must be all that water they drank before the game. Niners 20, Cardinals 17.

Green Bay at Carolina: Remember at the end of First Blood when Col. Samuel Trautman told John J. Rambo: "It's over, ******. Over" Well, "It's over, Brett. Over" And don't even try to say "Nothing is over!" Because no one is listening. Panthers 37, Packers 17.

Detroit (1-1) at Tampa Bay (3-0)
The Bucs are destined to win all their games by three, or six, or seven. They're not a great offensive team, but the '86 Giants weren't record-breakers on offense either. And Cadillac Williams looks better than Joe Morris to me.
Tampa Bay 16, Detroit 13

1 p.m. ET
Preview | Matchup Indianapolis (3-0) at Tennessee (1-2)
"Peyton Manning's going to break out soon, I guarantee you,'' Jeff Fisher told me the other day. He's got to hope this isn't the day, but I agree. You can only hold down one of the greats of our time for only so long.
Indianapolis 24, Tennessee 9

1 p.m. ET
Preview | Matchup San Diego (1-2) at New England (2-1)
This is going to be a great game. The Patriots have already had enough adversity for a decade, never mind an offseason plus three games. The whole team ought to be on Survivor.
New England 30, San Diego 20

1 p.m. ET
Preview | Matchup Seattle (2-1) at Washington (2-0)
There's one touchdown in this game, and the Redskins D will score it. Which means that the magic at Texas Stadium in Week 2 does not carry over to Week 4 by the Beltway. Start warming up, Jason Campbell.
Washington 16, Seattle 3

1 p.m. ET
Preview | Matchup Buffalo (1-2) at New Orleans (1-2)
My guess is we're about to see Kelly Holcomb take J.P. Losman's spot under center for the Bills. It'd be nice, by the way, if San Antonio put its money with its mouth is and sell out this game.
New Orleans 16, Buffalo 9

1 p.m. ET
Preview | Matchup Denver (2-1) at Jacksonville (2-1)
How many more injuries can pretzel-man Byron Leftwich take before he finally takes a seat? The Broncos will try and find out. They'll send the house at Leftwich, but he's got enough to throw two touchdowns and hang on.
Jacksonville 20, Denver 13

1 p.m. ET
Preview | Matchup St. Louis (2-1) at New York (2-1)
I'm afraid the Giants' defense is more of what we saw last Sunday night than in the first two weeks. I might be wrong, but getting steamrollered in the NFL is rarely a fluke.
St. Louis 31, New York Giants 21

1 p.m. ET
Preview | Matchup Houston (0-2) at Cincinnati (3-0)
You say this game can't be so close? I say, funny things happen when the owner gets involved -- as Bob McNair has in Houston -- and starts beating the drums that trying hard isn't good enough.
Cincinnati 24, Houston 20

4:05 p.m. ET
Preview | Matchup New York (1-2) at Baltimore (0-2)
Playing Brooks Bollinger doesn't doom the Jets' season, and I'm serious about that. But the Jets defense just has to have the equivalent of a Clemens-esque ERA to hold the fort until a real quarterback is ready to play.
Baltimore 20, New York Jets 16

4:15 p.m. ET
Preview | Matchup Philadelphia (2-1) at Kansas City (2-1)
The mutual love-fest between Andy Reid and Dick Vermeil gets pushed aside long enough for one of the great games of this season. Donovan McNabb grimaces through the pain and finds Greg Lewis for a late touchdown to win it.
Philadelphia 28, Kansas City 27

4:15 p.m. ET
Preview | Matchup Dallas (2-1) at Oakland (0-3)
If I had a dollar for every announcer who's said, "Oakland's the best 0-3 in football,'' or "the Raiders are much better than an 0-3 team,'' well, I'd have enough for at least 17 venti lattes. I say they rise up and play good D in this one.
Oakland 27, Dallas 17

4:15 p.m. ET
Preview | Matchup Minnesota (1-2) at Atlanta (2-1)
Quasi-upset of the week. Daunte Culpepper knows this team is on his back, and judging by the way he played last Sunday (300 passing yards, three touchdowns, no picks) he likes the feel of that.
Minnesota 24, Atlanta 20

8:30 p.m. ET
Preview | Matchup San Francisco (1-2) at Arizona (0-3)
How can you like either team right now? At least the game's in Mexico, so the fans in Tempe, all six of them, don't have to see another display of lousy football.
San Francisco 21, Arizona 16

9 p.m. ET
Preview | Matchup Green Bay (0-3) at Carolina (1-2)
Don't ask me why. I don't know. Maybe it's because I simply can't believe Ahman Green has had 10 straight games under 100 yards rushing. Maybe it's because I still think Favre can be Favre. Whatever, I just feel Monday night magic is about to happen.
Green Bay 22, Carolina 17

I haven't found anymore NFL stuff, so if anyone has anything, Dr Z other newspapers or ATS picks, post em. I'm working on about 6 fades.

Thanks BB and GL!
