Top Pick

1. Pittsburgh Steelers vs. KC – The Steelers are starting to roll (winners of four of their last five) and will roll on Monday Night.

The offense has now found its running game and is hitting on all cylinders, and the defense has raised its level of play since the embarrassing loss to the Titans.  This one will be over early.

Next

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. SD – Even though they ended up routing the Chiefs last Thursday, the Chargers problems are still real and plenty. The Bucs on the other hand are playing better ball for rookie HC Greg Schiano and rookie RB Doug Martin is on quite a two-game stretch.

Look for Tampa to hand San Diego another loss on Sunday.

New England Patriots vs. Buf – The well rested Patriots D will produce between 10-15 fantasy points this week.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Oak – The Ravens are a low No. 1 because the Raiders will likely be without their top RBs. The Ravens D has taken a step back in ’12.

Miami Dolphins vs. Ten – The Titans are challenged offensively.

Detroit Lions vs. Min – This is a low level fantasy D thanks to QB Christian Ponder’s ineptness of recent weeks.

Chicago Bears vs. Hou – The most impressive D in 2012 faces a stern test on Sunday.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. SD – The Bucs will force Rivers and San Diego into a few turnovers Sunday.

Minnesota Vikings vs. Det  - The Vikings scored twice on special teams in their 1st meeting. Look for a 10-15 point fantasy day at home this week.

1. Houston Texans vs. NYJ – The Jets could easily get shutout two weeks in a row.

2. San Francisco 49ers vs. Buf – The Bills committed 6 turnovers vs. the Pats. They have a chance to equal or top that this week.

3. NY Giants vs. Cle – The Giants front four should make life miserable for Brandon Weeden and Co. all afternoon.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Car – Cam Newton’s been a turnover machine to start the year and Seattle’s D is fast.

St. Louis Rams vs. Arz – The feisty D has a chance a double digit fantasy day against Kevin Kolb.

1. San Francisco 49ers vs. Min – They should keep the Vikings to 10 points or fewer and sack Ponder over 5 times with multiple turnovers. This is the top fantasy football D/ST in Week 3.

2. NY Jets vs Mia – If Revis is back, the Jets should dominate the Dolphins in Miami.

3. Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Oak – The Raiders can’t do anything right on offense. Expect a big day from the Steelers D.

4. Buffalo Bills vs. Cle – The Browns are not good on offense. This is an excellent match-up that the Bills will take advantage of.

Next

Dallas Cowboys vs. TB – The Bucs O will get handled by the Cowboys in Dallas. Look for DeMarcus Ware to have multiple sacks.

Chicago Bears vs. Stl – Look for Peppers and Co. coming off of 10 days rest to get after Bradford on Sunday.

The Rest

Miami Dolphins vs. NYJ – It’s Mark Sanchez. He makes most defenses look (very) good.

Green Bay Packers vs. Sea – If Aaron Rodgers can get the Pack to a lead, expect them to blitz QB Russell Wilson into a few errors. Clay Matthews and Co. should generate a few sacks.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Arz – Kevin Kolb is a turnover waiting to happen. The Eagles D will pressure him int a few mistakes on Sunday.

Houston Texans vs. Cin – The Texans D has made life miserable for opposing QBs and offenses the past six weeks.

Fantasy Sleeper

2. New England Patriots vs. Ind – The Patriots get a gift in Week 13. The Colts are horrible.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Pit – Division rivalries tend to be low scoring and close in this series.

Houston Texans vs. Atl – The Texans D will be asked to carry a large load this week.
