NFL Pigskin Pigsplosion Preview: Week 3 Picks
Will we finally figure out which teams are good (besides the 49ers) this week?
Last Week
Stephen 7-7-2
Jason: 8-6-2
Overall
Stephen: 11-18-2
Jason: 15-15-2
St. Louis (+8) @ Chicago
Stephen: Maybe the Bears aren’t the unstoppable force that Happy and I thought they were. Go Bears! (Rams)
Jason: the Rams are probably going to be without Wayne Hunter, and this is a bad thing. Amazing how much things change in two weeks. (Bears)
Tampa Bay (+7) @ Dallas
Stephen: The Bucs put up 34 points against the Giants and the Giants had a full roster back then. (Bucs)
Jason: If there is one quarterback you want to try to get to fumble on a kneel down, it’s Tony Romo. (Cowboys)
San Francisco (-7.5) @ Minnesota
Stephen: I just hope they don’t hurt Adrian Peterson. (49ers)
Jason: Randy Moss will return to Minnesota to pay all his parking fines (Vikings)
Detroit (-4) @ Tennessee
Stephen: Always a good week for the Lions when they get to leave Detroit. (Lions)
Jason: Chris Johnson is currently favored to get more rushing yards than Jahvid Best in this game, but it’s close (Titans)
Cincinnati (+3.5) @ Washington
Stephen: Imagine if Andy Dalton and Robert Griffin III switched haircuts. (Bengals)
Jason: The Redskins finally get to play their first home game, so I really look forward to hearing those calls for Kirk Cousins to start. (Redskins)
New York Jets (-3) @ Miami
Stephen: I’m all out. (Dolphins)
Jason: We removed Bart Scott from the above photo after he threatened us. (Jets)
Kansas City Chiefs (+9) @ New Orleans
Stephen: Lisk is going to teach his children about Mardi Gras beads because of this game. (Saints)
Jason: A team that cannot stop a pee wee league team on defense is giving 9 points. (Chiefs)
Buffalo (-3) @ Cleveland
Stephen: The Signs of Life Bowl. They should rematch in Week 17 for the Sorry For Getting The Fans Hopes Up Bowl. (Bills)
Jason: Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brandon Weeden will reminisce about where they were when they first heard Creed’s “Higher” in high school. (Bills)
Jacksonville (+3) @ Indianapolis
Stephen: Stephen didn’t make a pick, but we know he loves the Jags (Jags)
Jason: Blaine Gabbert’s yards per attempt last year: 5.4. Blaine Gabbert’s yards per attempt through 2 games this year: 5.4. But it’s probably a little higher if we went out a digit. (Colts)
Philadelphia (-4) @ Arizona
Stephen: Kevin Kolb’s revenge! 2-0 with a win over the Patriots? You can’t laugh at Kolby now. (Eagles)
Jason: The Eagles will overcome six turnovers to win it late. (Cardinals)
Atlanta (+2.5) @ San Diego
Stephen: San Diego is quite the party town. Maybe the Falcons should throw this game… (Chargers)
Jason: Either Philip Rivers or Matt Ryan will be well on their way to a Super Bowl after this one. (Falcons)
Houston (-3) @ Denver
Stephen: Tim Tebow did Peyton Manning no favors by winning all those flukey games last year. (Texans)
Jason: Gary Kubiak and John Elway face off, while somewhere, Ken Karcher is drinking a beer in solitude. (Broncos)
Pittsburgh (-4.5) @ Oakland
Stephen: If Reggie Bush can do that to Oakland’s defense then Big Ben will absolutely rape them. (Steelers)
Jason: Carson Palmer knows how to play against the Steelers. Winning is another matter (Steelers)
New England (+3) @ Baltimore
Stephen: I want to watch that clip of Joe Flacco calling himself a gun-slinger over and over again. (Patriots)
Jason: The Patriots haven’t had a losing record since Tom Jackson said the Patriots players hated Belichick. (Patriots)
Green Bay (-3.5) @ Seattle
Stephen: Matt Flynn is going to carry his clipboard with extra purpose Monday night. (Packers)
Jason: I wanted to make the Matt Flynn joke. /kicks dog (Seahawks)

I stopped reading halfway down just to keep scrolling for more cheerleader pics.
September 21st, 2012 at 4:27 PM
Falcons cheerleaders: yes, no, yes
Bang Cardinals +3, gonna be another nailbiter (and hopefully an Eagles win).
Also enjoy Cowboys -8, think they’ll run up the score on Schiano
September 21st, 2012 at 4:29 PM
CRM needs some more time in the Pigsplosion film room before coming to a decision on Jags-Colts
Related, I think a Pigsplosion film room would be heaven on Earth

Hilarious so did I
September 21st, 2012 at 4:32 PM
Ditto bitches.
September 21st, 2012 at 4:32 PM
red headed dolphins cheerleader is back. niiiiice.
top pic yes no yes.
last two, no and no.
September 21st, 2012 at 4:35 PM
The Bucs put up 34 points against the Giants and the Giants had a full roster back then. (Bucs)
This was the same argument given yesterday for why the Panthers were going to beat the Giants last night. So much for that.
September 21st, 2012 at 4:36 PM
Cowboys secondary is gonna shut down the Bucs passing game. Cowboys are gonna curb stomp the Bucs.
September 21st, 2012 at 4:37 PM
That redheaded Fins cheerleader … woowoowoo.
I intensiely dislike the Cowpokes, but they are gonna beat the Shitkicking Schianos by a bunch.
My enmity for the Falcons extends even to their cheerleaders.
September 21st, 2012 at 4:43 PM
me too.

September 21st, 2012 at 4:47 PM
Subtle…
September 21st, 2012 at 4:47 PM
/guilty of that one too
Wait.
The Titans are FAVORED in that game against Detroit? How?
Tennessee has lost their first two games by an average of over 20 points. They do nothing well.
September 21st, 2012 at 4:47 PM
I miss the exploding pigs. It has been a couple years. Surely, you tube has been replenished.

No, Detroit is favored.

it’s a Beef sighting!

My Bears fan friend is starting Michael Bush over McCoy. I love Bears fans.
September 21st, 2012 at 4:56 PM
True story, my wife has family who lives about a half hour north of Green Bay, so we took the 5 hour trek up there from Chicago last week for a long weekend. On Thursday night, my brother-in-law and I thought it would be fun to watch the game in a small towny bar. We didn’t realize prior to Thursday that after every Packer touchdown, everyone in the bar does a shot and the owner runs around the place with a giant Packer flag as “I don’t want to work, I just wanna bang on these drums all day” plays on the jukebox. So after the special teams touchdown, this a-hole runs past me with his flag and accidentally pokes me in the fucking eye with it. I can say for certain that the 1 hour I spent in this bar (we left at halftime) were the worst 60 minutes of my life.
Go Bears!

But, ain’t it weird that with a win, the Chargers could be 3-0. With the Raiders & Chiefs struggling, SD could take early charge of an admittedly-watered-down division.
September 21st, 2012 at 4:58 PM
Arizona’s defense will make mccoy irrelevant
September 21st, 2012 at 5:00 PM
Point is, my buddy would start Bush over 2006 LaDainian Tomlinson.

I’m torn, brotha. Ain’t trying to keep you from making loot. But, that is my team.
September 21st, 2012 at 5:14 PM
Chargers win easily. Matt Ryan is garbage outside a dome.
September 21st, 2012 at 5:16 PM
Time Warner Cable may finally be adding the NFL Network

September 21st, 2012 at 5:17 PM
Panthers are too high.
September 21st, 2012 at 5:19 PM
Hillbilly better win by at least 2 TDs this week.
September 21st, 2012 at 5:20 PM
Buffalo is going to win by 2 touchdowns. i dont care what anyone says.
September 21st, 2012 at 5:21 PM
Played pretty well in Arrowhead two weeks ago.

Holy Shit the Pittsburgh Pirates organization is laughably awful now.

woohoo…NFL Network will be up and running on Time Warner this weekend. Now if i only had the money to pay for Red zone..
September 21st, 2012 at 5:33 PM
Now if i only had the money to pay for Red zone..
It’s like 5 extra bucks a month?
September 21st, 2012 at 5:34 PM
Holy Shit the Pittsburgh Pirates organization is laughably awful now.
That’s retarded on their behalf. But also, I will say that the author isn’t exactly right when he says even the highest level of professional athletics can’t compare to the military’s level of exercise and training. Not to take anything away from anyone who’s served, but I know people that have served in the Air Force and Navy(not seals, of course) that were out of shape like a motherfucker the entire time they were in.
September 21st, 2012 at 5:37 PM
…interesting…
Actually, unbelievable. I am stunned that Stark thought he was right in coming up with this. Wow.
September 21st, 2012 at 5:39 PM
Why do you think other services called us the “Chair Force”?
September 21st, 2012 at 5:40 PM
Why do you think other services called us the “Chair Force”?
Haha. Heard that 1,000 times. Want to hear a story?
September 21st, 2012 at 5:42 PM
Of course. Fire when ready.
September 21st, 2012 at 5:45 PM
Alright, to start this off, I’ll explain that my Dad does flight scheduling and maintenance, not sure of the actual MOS name/#. And actually, he’s a chief, so he doesn’t schedule flights and maintenance. He tells people to schedule flights and maintenance, and sits behind a desk.
My brother went down to visit him a few months ago (they never have gotten along great) and he was sitting down on the couch watching my Dad’s girlfriend and her son play some war game on XBOX. My Dad’s girlfriend said something along the lines of “This is hard trying to accomplish this and that with the hand and eye coordination” and my Dad something along the lines of “You should try it (war) in real-life.” My brother said “You should, too.”
September 21st, 2012 at 5:48 PM
Dang, Monster. Your brother sounds like he’d fit right in ’round here. Nice, smart-ass response.
September 21st, 2012 at 5:50 PM
Nice, smart-ass response.
Indeed. I about shit my pants when he told me that. Especially because I know how my Dad is, and I could just see the look on his face after my brother said that.
September 21st, 2012 at 5:53 PM
And, you know chiefs aren’t used to anyone talking to them like that. Chiefs are on top of the mountain, nobody would dare sass a chief. Except family.
September 21st, 2012 at 5:56 PM
nobody would dare sass a chief. Except family.
True, for the most part. He’s got a cousin in the Air Force, too, that’s a tech. I’m surprised they don’t stand at attention every time they see each other.
September 21st, 2012 at 6:06 PM
As someone who commutes from outside the Pentagon on a daily basis, I can assure you this is not true.
