NFL Picks week 3

Zach's pick: Panthers

Zach's thought: Thursdays always favor home team.

Sunday Buffalo Bills at Cleveland Browns

Zach's Pick: Bills

Zach's Thought: Browns haven't won a regular season game in more than 10 months. I'm not picking them until they prove they can win.

Tennessee Titans at Detroit Lions

Zach's Pick: Lions.

Zach's Thought: Titans have looked out of it first two weeks.

Cincinnati Bengals at Washington Redskins

Zach's Pick: Bengals

Zach's Thought: Bengals need this one to realize big expectations.

St. Louis Rams at Chicago Bears

Zach's Pick: Bears

Zach's thought: Jay Cutler needs to play better or else he'll be a punchline all year.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Dallas Cowboys

Zach's Pick: Cowboys.

Zach's Thought: Cowboys were awful last week in Seattle. I think they'll escape a tougher Tampa squad.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Indianapolis Colts

Zach's Pick: Colts

Zach's thought: Colts may already be second-best team in South.

New York Jets at Miami Dolphins

Zach's Pick: Jets

Zach's Thought: Jets have to prove something after being outclassed by Steelers last week.

San Francisco 49ers at Minnesota Vikings

Zach's Pick: 49ers.

Zach's Thought: 49ers are just better.

Kansas City Chiefs at New Orleans Saints

Zach's Pick: Saints.

Zach's thought: Chiefs have been terrible. Saints haven't been much better, but at least they're at home.

Philadelphia Eagles at Arizona Cardinals

Zach's Pick: Eagles.

Zach's Thought: Was it really just four years ago that McNabb met up with Warner in the championship game?

Atlanta Falcons at San Diego Chargers

Zach's Pick: Chargers.

Zach's Thought: Could be game of the week.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Oakland Raiders

Zach's Pick: Raiders.

Zach's Thought: For some reason Steelers struggle in Oakland.

New England Patriots at Baltimore Ravens

Zach's Pick: Ravens

Zach's Thought: Not exactly a banner week for New England.

Monday Green Bay Packers at Seattle Seahawks

Zach's Pick: Packers

Zach's Thought: Tough place to play, but I trust Rodgers can handle it.

Last Week: 10-6

Overall: 23-9
