Welcome back to Xboxlivenetwork.com: NFL Picks! Well, week 3 sure gave us some great moments. Brett Favre shows us why he came back. The Detroit Lions won their first game since Jerhawk was still in High School. The Seahawks showed off their new alternate uniforms, and Terrell Owens showed us why he's still just...T.O.
Here were the standout picks from Week 3:
Here were the standout picks from Week 3:
- EVERYBODY chose the Baltimore Ravens over the Browns, the N.Y. Giants over Tampa Bay, AND the Chicago Bears over the Seahawks, and got ALL 3 CORRECT.
- JRC865 was the ONLY person to get the Cincinnati Bengals over the Pittsburgh Steelers CORRECT.
- Finch865 was the ONLY one to pick the Jacksonville Jaguars CORRECT over the Houston Texans.
- KnightnBattle10, xxInspirationxx and IronHorse1995 went with the Detroit Lions and got that CORRECT. BlazenHawks bailed out on the Lions at the last minute.

Please have your picks in by 1:00 E.T. Sunday Morning. There was also a suggestion given by Finch865 with our NFL Picks dealing with point spreads. Finch, I appreciate your input, but for the time being we're just going to have us pick the winners of the games. Starting in Week 10 as we did last year, I'll give the point spreads for the four or five upset games, but on here I'll just stick to us picking the winners. But I do appreciate your suggestion. If anyone has any suggestions that you feel will improve our NFL Picks, we would love to hear your ideas!

Here is another NFL Player comparison, this time suggested by my father, Brian. Led Zeppelin's guitarist Jimmy Page (left) and Lions Quarterback Mathew Stafford (right). Take a hard look at this one. They may not look alike at first, but look at the eyes and the smile. This is a good one. There are many more player comparisons that I've got left, but if you have more, we'd love to hear them.
