Week 3 pick results: 9-5. My losses were at the hands of the Lions, (of course) Bills, Giants, (who once again tried playing from behind) Patriots, and Falcons. No complaints here though as I predicted it would be a tough week for pick 'em.

I am now 2-0 on my Mortal Locks thanks to the Eagles pounding the 49ers. Last week's Upset of the Week was correct as well, thanks to the Bengals taking care of business in Pittsburgh.

My record through Week 3: 31-15 Win Pct.: .674

Here are Week 4's picks: (Winners in Bold.)

Colts @ Jets
Saints @ Panthers
Vikings @ Bills
Cardinals @ Falcons
Chargers @ Ravens
Dolphins @ Texans
49ers @ Chiefs
Cowboys @ Titans
Lions @ Rams
Jaguars @ Redskins
Browns @ Raiders
Patriots @ Bengals
Seahawks @ Bears
Packers @ Eagles

Upset of the Week goes to the Ravens over Chargers. The Ravens are 2.5 point underdogs at home, so this seemed like an obvious upset for me. Mortal Lock of the Week will be the Bengals over the Patriots. I could go with the Eagles again, (Heck, I could go with the Colts for just about every game) but I'll try to keep things fair and interesting, so I'll try to pick a different team every week for the Mortal Lock.

NFL Stat of the Week: Last week Rex Grossman led all QB's in the QB Rating stat with a lofty 128.7. This weeks leader: David Carr of all people, (obviously sacks don't figure heavily into the QB rating formula if at all.) with a rating of 113.6.

Tigers Update: With two games to go, and the Twins having lost today, means the Tigers only have to win one more game to clinch the Central and secure a playoff date at home with Oakland.

And on another Tigers note, I have acquired playoff tickets for ALDS Game One at Comerica Park on either Tuesday against the A's or Friday against the Yankees. (I'm pretty good at hiding the excitement.) I will have my account of the game along with some possible pictures in a blog to follow next week some time.

Woohoo!

Update 10/1 12:20 AM: Well the Tigers lost tonight, thanks to a seven-spot the Royals put up in the 1st inning. To clinch the division, the Tigers will either have to hope for a Twins loss (Thank you White Sox) or just win their darn game tomorrow themselves. (Hopefully the latter) This is a bit frustrating, as the Tigers should have won Friday night after building a 5 run lead and then the Royals come back and tie it up in the 9th. Oh, well tomorrow is another day, well actually its today already, but hey nobody likes a stickler.
