Week 3's Early Games

Watching those games was agonizing in the fourth quarters. My picks were blowing up in my face. The Steelers, in control and rattling Carson Palmer, fumbled twice in their own end to give up the game. The Vikings, in control all day, gave up a wide open touchdown in the final minute. And Carolina nearly lost it in the second half.

So far I'm 3-3-2 officially. But I'm thanking my lucky stars that when I made my big Vikings bets (one individual and two parlays) that I was getting 4.5 points. Nice! My week rides on the Patriots slamming the Broncos in ugly ways.

Team we may have undervalued: the Jets. Going on the road and beating the team everyone was paying notice to... that's pretty big. Could they be a sneaky 8-8 team? Chad Pennington looks solid.

And as the late games are underway, what's the story with Charlie Frye? He chooses the Ravens' defense to have his breakout game against? 15 for 18 for 210, accounts for two TD's and has Baltimore in the sack going into the second half. Wow. Not that I valued Baltimore as much as everyone else did, but still.
