Week 3 NFL Projections

Last week: 13-3

Philadelphia Eagles 34, New York Giants 24

The Eagles have won the last six meetings between these two, and their defense should be able to rebound well enough from last week's disaster in Atlanta. And with Mario Manningham likely out and Steve Smith on the other sideline now, Hakeem Nicks will receive all the attention.

New England Patriots 31, Buffalo Bills 27

Buffalo is the talk of the NFL right now, jumping out to a surprising 2-0 start. Expect them to give the mighty Pats a dogfight, but ultimately fall just short. There's just no way to stop Tom Brady right now.

Dallas Cowboys 24, Washington Redskins 20

Tony Romo rebounded last week in leading his team to an overtime victory that saved the Cowboys from an 0-2 start. On the other hand, Rex Grossman has been better than expected and his Redskins have started 2-0. But Dallas is the more talented team, and even with DeAngelo Hall aiming for Tony Romo's ribs, the Boys will get the best of this NFC East showdown.

New Orleans Saints 31, Houston Texans 28

Drew Brees and the Saints will make the Texans' D feel like it's 2010 again. Through the first two weeks Houston has held opponents to just 10 points a game. But going to the Superdome to face Brees will not have the same outcome.

Pittsburgh Steelers 27, Indianapolis Colts 10
San Diego Chargers 41, Kansas City Chiefs 6
Green Bay Packers 23, Chicago Bears 13
San Francisco 49ers 21, Cincinnati Bengals 13
Miami Dolphins 17, Cleveland Browns 14
Tennessee Titans 23, Denver Broncos 13
Carolina Panthers 30, Jacksonville Jaguars 16
Baltimore Ravens 24, St. Louis Rams 10
New York Jets 31, Oakland Raiders 20
Arizona Cardinals 34, Seattle Seahawks 9
Atlanta Falcons 27, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 14
Detroit Lions 31, Minnesota Vikings 13
