Bubbleblabber vs Carl’s Stone Cold Pick of the NFL Week 3: Eagles vs Jets (2015)

Last week, I was able to even up my record while Carl is stuck in an ‘0-2’ hell, and from the sounds of it there’s going to be some further distance between us after this week’s picks. Watch why:

Let’s break down both teams and see who I think is going to win:

Philadelphia Eagles

eagles

Carl’s got the Eagles winning this weekend, and as a result I believe he is huffing way too much gasoline. The Eagles are a disaster of a football team, and I see no signs of it getting better. DeMarco Murray probably made a career-ending decision leaving the Cowboys, Sam Bradford is still staring down every receiver he is going to throw to thereby making him an easy pick, and the overall scheme of the team just seems too predictable. Sorry kids, spread offenses don’t work in pro football.

 

New York Jets

jets

I like the Jets this year to make 2nd place in an already fun-to-watch AFC East. Todd Bowles is an excellent defensive-mind, and he’s making tough decisions all based on winning. He’s keeping Ryan Fitzpatrick as his QB after Geno Smith got rocked in the face, and I think that’s a bold, but correct move. This defense is suffocating, and I think Sam Bradford’s gonna be torn apart as a result.
