NFL Week 3 Recapby Matthew RossThe underdogs did well in Week 3, highlighted by the emotional win Monday night by the Saints. Cleveland came close to a major upset, while Denver and Cincinnati won big games a road dogs. Here's a look at what transpired in the Week 3 of the NFL. Miami 13 Tennesee 10 Yeesh, this one was ugly all the way through. Neither of these two clubs looks to be remotely decent right now. Miami is pitiful on offense and the grumblings are starting to mount about Ronnie Brown. Daunte Culpepper is the key and so far the key is not working. Indianapolis 21 Jacksonville 14 You knew this was going to be close and low scoring. But did you really think the Jags had a chance to win? I did. Jacksonville blew this one with sloppy offensive play in the second half and bad kicking. Too bad. It would have been a fantastic win.

This win accomplishes nothing other than to give the Redskins their first win of the season. Bettors should not jump on the Washington bandwagon just yet. Green Bay 31 Detroit 24 I am a firm believer in the notion that Kevin Jones is holding back the Lions. He is not a reliable threat in the backfield and the coaching staff has got to start looking elsewhere for a ground game. Meanwhile, Brett Favre proved he still has something left in that rusty tank. NY Jets 28 Buffalo 20 The surprising Jets continue their strong play. Maybe Chad Pennington really is the savior in NYC. Buffalo is such a scrappy team that you were pulling for them to at least tie this one up and make it exciting- that is unless you had the Jets and the points. Carolina 26 Tampa Bay 24 Talk about two teams' fortunes going in opposite directions. Carolina can now focus on getting their house in order and making a run, while the Bucs are spinning out of control. We wish young Simms the best in his recovery. Cincinnati 28 Pittsburgh 20 Memo to Steelers fans: Relax, everything will be ok. Your team will turn it around and rattle off a few wins in a row after the bye week. As for the Bengals? Color us impressed. Chicago 19 Vikings 16 The road favorite won but did not cover here. We were wowed by Grossman in the fourth quarter but we were cursing him in the third. Minnesota could be better than I initially thought, but I just don't see Brad Johnson and Chester Taylor being that great. Baltimore 15 Cleveland 14 Now that's how you win ugly! Can someone tell me when Jamal Lewis will get on track? He has got to be a concern right now for the Ravens. And can someone tell me why the Browns think Charlie Frye is their future? Seattle 42 NY Giants 30 Seattle piled up the yards but lost Shaun Alexander in the process. No matter, Maurice Morris will be very good as a starter. Conversely, what the heck happened to the Giants? How do you go down 35-0? Philadelphia 38 San Francisco 24 It was closer than the score indicated, but a win's a win if you're an Eagle. McNabb and the offense are fine, but can the defense keep playing well without Kearse? Alex Smith is impressing. Too bad he doesn't have much defense. St. Louis 16 Arizona 14 Edgerrin James and the Cards blew this one. Arizona has underachieved greatly, while the Rams have done enough to stay in games and capitalize when possible. Neither team will be playoff bound. Denver 17 New England 7 The defense continues to get it done for coach Shanahan. Plummer was better but not nearly good enough for contending. As for Brady? He may have found a receiver in Doug Gabriel. But they have to get back to establishing the run. New Orleans 23 Atlanta 3 Riding a wave of emotion carried the Saints at home- that and tremendous special teams. We go back and forth on the merits and talents of Michael Vick. He's the perfect CFL QB, but in the NFL? --- by BetUSradio at 1800-sports.com on September 27, 2006
