I mean, this is a team that lost one player in Week 2 due to a car crash caused by a deer. I should have known the Vikings were going to lose just because of the way their week was going leading up to the game. The Seahawks blew a 15-point lead at home for the first time ever and the Vikings lost because their kicker missed a chip-shot field goal, which I guess isn't actually all that shocking since Vikings kickers always miss chip-shot field goals when the game is on the line. It's almost fitting that the Seahawks and Vikings are playing each other this week because I'm pretty sure they had the two most shocking losses of Week 2. I've basically gone against conventional wisdom ever since it told me that pancakes aren't a dinner food. The Rams have now upgraded at quarterback and I think Matthew Stafford is going to have a huge day against a Buccaneers defense that's giving up 27 points per game this year.Ĭonventional wisdom says never pick against Tom Brady in a big game, but I've decided to go against conventional wisdom in this game. Brady was so bad that he got outplayed by Jared Goff, which I wouldn't believe if I didn't know it already happened. He threw 22 incompletions, he threw two interceptions and he was flustered for most of the night.

The Rams actually beat the Buccaneers last year and it was because Brady had one of his worst games. As we all know, the best way to beat Tom Brady is by putting a lot of pressure on him and that's something the Rams can do. I don't think Brady is going to buy a horse lamp this week, but he might feel like he got run over by a horse after this game is over, especially since he's going to be spending the entire game running away from Aaron Donald.

#TBT to that time I almost bought a horse lamp. I don't want to make Vikings fans re-live the horror of Sunday, but everyone needs to know how happy their radio announcer sounded when he thought the kick went in. I also probably should've gotten a psychology degree, if only so I can communicate with Vikings fans, because I'm pretty sure most of them had a mental breakdown after Greg Joseph's missed kick on Sunday. This week is why everyone interested in sportswriting should get a medical degree first. I don't even know who the Bears quarterback is going to be, although that probably won't matter because they're going to lose either way. I don't know who the Dolphins quarterback is going to be. I have no idea who the Colts starting quarterback is going to be on Sunday. If I've learned one thing about Week 3, it's that making NFL picks would be 471% easier this week if I had a medical degree and that's because everyone is injured.

I knew not going to medical school would eventually backfire on me big time and it's finally happening this week.
