Week 3 of the NFL kicked off on Thursday night with the Niners politely disposing of the injured Giants 30-12. To get you ready for Sunday's action, 'Intern Mike' Giarraputo has put together his 'Hot Picks.'
For the second straight year the Chiefs have the best offense in the NFL courtesy of the outstanding play of Patrick Mahomes, and the offensive genius of Andy Reid and Eric Bienamy. Kansas City boasts an offense that’s effectively unstoppable for most teams in the league. If the Buccaneers stand any chance of winning the Super Bowl they’ll need to find a way to slow this relentless attack.
As prolific and terrifying as the Chiefs were in 2019, they’re even better now. In the passing game Mahomes slightly went down in per-pass efficiency, dropping from 8.1 yards per attempt to 7.9, but has been better at moving the chains. A staggering 40.5 percent of Mahomes’ passes resulted in a first down in 2020 (up from 36.6), while moving the ball more effectively.
Miami: 1-3 | Part 2: 4-3 | Part 3: 7-4 | Part 4: 10-6
Patriots: 2-2 | Part 2: 2-5 | Part 3: 5-6 | Part 4: 7-9
NY Jets: 0-4 | Part 2: 0-8 | Part 3: 0-11 | Part 4: 2-14
State of the AFC East
-Buffalo: The Bills did it! They have won the New England Invitational Division and made it into the playoffs again!
Buffalo secured its first AFC East title since 1995. I wasn’t even born yet! And here’s the kicker: They will get a couple thousand fans in attendance for the game!
Also, talk about going for the kill against New England! Because of that decision and Stefon Diggs being a BOSS, you made my buddy Mitch Andrus very happy to not choke a third fantasy football title match away in four years and finally win The Big One.
