Jaguars vs. Patriots

NFL Picks week 3.  The Jaguars are an improved football team but not improved enough to go to Foxborough and get a win on the road over the Patriots.  It won’t be as easy as most think it will but the Patriots still will get a comfortable win.

Winner:  Patriots

Score prediction:       31-20  Patriots   

Points spread:      Patriots -14.5

Over/under:  48.5 – Over

Saints vs. Panthers

The Saints will be without Drew Brees in the lineup for the first time in a while and will start Luke McCown at quarterback.  The Saints offense should still be able to move the ball but it won’t be enough as Cam Newton and the Panthers will be too much for them at home in this NFC South matchup.

Winner:  Panthers

Score prediction:       24-17  Panthers   

Points spread:      Panthers -9.5

Over/under:  42.5 – Over

Next: Eagles / Jets - Buccaneers / Texans
