Do It Again

The Steely Dan classic is a perfect describer for the kind of week that Bottineau football teams would like to say. Both the college and high school football teams would like to repeat the results of this past weekend, where they both won.

I am happy to report that i was 12-4 in my NFL picks this past week. Not too shabby. I also had another flawless fantasy football week as both the "Team of Destiny" and "I Won This Last Year" rumbled for victories (shout out to my boys Jeremy Maclin and LeSean McCoy, who made it happen).

Without further ado week 3 NFL picks, followed by pictures:

Carolina over Jacksonville
Houston over New Orleans
Buffalo over New England
Cleveland over Miami
Tennessee over Denver
Philadelphia over New York Giants
Detroit over Minnesota
Cincinnati over San Francisco
Oakland over New York Jets
San Diego over Kansas City
Baltimore over St. Louis
Green Bay over Chicago
Arizona over Seattle
Atlanta over Tampa Bay
Pittsburgh over Indianapolis
Dallas over Washington
