Scholar's Week 3 Picks

Chargers -14.5 vs. the Chiefs

Chiefs have scored 10 points total in both games. They lost their best weapon on offense and it sucked to begin with. Man I feel sorry for Chiefs fans, September and they're already looking forward to the draft in April. It's a tough call with such a large spread but I like the Chargers laying the points. Watch out for the Back-Door cover though.

Packers -3.5 vs. the Bears

Usually these teams play close games. The Pack gave the people who chose them in the King of the Hill pools a scare last week as they were down early to the upstart Panthers. So who knows what's going to happen on Sunday. But the Bears offensive line is doing their best impression of swiss cheese. Cutler won't last long if they don't begin to jell. Packers should cover with ease.

Redskins +5.5 at the Cowboys

If you haven't noticed yet, I really like what I see out of the Washington Redskins this season. Both in fantasy and reality. The Cowboys almost lost to the 49'ers last week and they're pretty banged up. Romo has a rib/lung issue, Dez Bryant is dealing with a quad problem and Felix Jones is already nicked up with a separated shoulder. All 3 will probably be on the field but they will be without Miles Austin. Take the points.
