Week 3 NFL Hot Quick Pick: Oakland Raiders 19 – Denver Broncos 38

If you are a last minute NFL quick pick fantasy player like I am, then this is a must week 3 quick pick posts that will make many fantasy players proud.

If Peyton Manning stays healthy for the remainder of the 2013 NFL season, he may have the opportunity to break a couple of NFL records that will set a new standard in the NFL.

Many fantasy players know this game is all about what Peyton Manning brings to the Broncos table, and it is an undeniable fact that the acquisition of Manning has given the Broncos the edge in a competitive AFC West Division.

The Raiders defense without Von Miller and Champ Bailey is still clicking on 6 cylinder overdrive. There are two bright spots that many Indianapolis Colts fans remember when Peyton was a Colt; his uncanny knack to tear down a defense, and know when to hand the ball off in key situations of duress.

My prediction is that Wes Welker will have another standout game, and his 2 TD scores will help seal a Bronco victory.

I’m going out on a limb to predict that Peyton Manning will throw 5 TD passes, have 1 INT, complete 32 out of 45 passes, and have a 99.9 QB rating. If Peyton is able to throw 3 TD passes in this game against the Raiders, it will set a new NFL record.

Another key to a victory for the Broncos will fall on the shoulders of their young Tight End Julius Thomas. The Broncos Tight End knows the importance of defeating the Raiders - in a game that means more to the Broncos from a division standing.

Even though the Broncos got off to a sluggish start in the beginning first 3 games, this game will prove to be a work in progress as the Broncos improve on their first half scoring percentage.

Top 6 Worst Beat Down Week 3 NFL Games Recap

The misery in losing to an NFL team you were supposed to beat in week 3 has now become the talk of the town amongst loyal fans that have seen 6 teams play more poorly than ever before. Week 3 of the NFL season has proven that even a fan favorite team can fall from grace.

St. Louis Rams 7 – Dallas Cowboys 31
The Cowboys defense shut down a sluggish Rams offensive line, and their QB faired no better on his own accord. Tony Romo rebounded back from taking a beating in week 2 against a stout Kansas City defense in which the Cowboys were defeated by only one point.

Houston Texans 9 – Baltimore Ravens 30
It came to no surprise to Ravens Fans that it would be a matter of time before the Ravens defense would rise to the occasion, but it came at an unfortunate time for the Texans – as they shut down Matt Schaub air attack.

Arizona Cardinals 7 – New Orleans Saints 31
Drew Brees air attack proved to be doom for a struggling defensive line in week 3. The Saints are getting back to their old style of whip ‘em up defense and that only means trouble for their next opponent in week 4.

New York Giants 0 – Carolina Panthers 38
The New Giants whole team put on a pitiful display in week 3 – as their lackluster performance against the Panthers is one of their worst outings since Eli Manning took over the QB helm in 2004. The Panthers defense played a sparkling game, and they will have time to cherish this whip down as they take this upcoming bye week to study film for their bout against the Arizona Cardinals.

Jacksonville Jaguars 17 – Seattle Seahawks 45
When you have a quarterback such as Russell Wilson that can throw on the run, and is also very mobile in the pocket, it was a disaster in the making for the Jaguars offensive linemen. The Seahawks are a complete team both on offense and defense, but their next matchup against a solid Houston Texans defense in week 4 will be another test for Russell Wilson.

Chicago Bears 40 – Pittsburgh Steelers 23

Jay Cutler has taken a lot of flak throughout his playing time in Chicago, but somehow he has managed to help his team win some really thrilling games in 2013. The Bears defense has risen to the occasion several times this season, and that is why they remain undefeated.

Week 2 NFL Hot Pick Prediction: New York Jets 17 – New England Patriots 30

Even though the Patriots may have a depleted receiving team, Tom Brady is not happy with last week’s performance against the Buffalo Bills. Forget about the infamous Mark Sanchez "buttfumble" game in which Tom Brady and the New England Patriots single handily massacred the New York Jets during last year Thanksgiving Day game. Gino Smith will not have the same success as he did against his 18-17 win over the Tampa Buccaneers.

The film room this week will not help Gino Smith in his attempt to clear a victory over the sluggish Patriots defense. Coach Bill Belichick week 2 game plan is to have his defense in sack mode. Even though Gino Smith will have some growing pains in this rival AFC match-up, this trial under fire will be his coming out game.

New York Jets
Despite the many injuries the Patriots are dealing with, there will be a few players that will step up their game and help the Patriots seal a victory in week 2.

Tom Brady 3 touchdown scores will be a better outing for the franchise QB, as his 98.9 passer rating will be a pleasant outing for a team seeking to stay above the pack in the AFC wavering division.
