Falcoholic staff picks, preseason Week 3

Who cares who wins this week’s preseason games? Well, we do, apparently.

We’re serious about our craft here at The Falcoholic. We’re using the preseason to get into game shape, just like the players do. That includes flexing our picking muscles as we predict who’s going to come away with wins in preseason action this week.

What a weird week of picks this turned out to be. Our staff is split on Falcons vs. Jaguars, and you can yell at Dave Choate, David Walker, Adnan Ikic, Cory Woodroof, and Cam Marino for doubting your Atlanta Falcons in this week’s matchup. Please feel free to do so in the comments.

Beyond that, we have very few believers in the other NFC South teams this week. Adnan and Cam picked the Panthers over the Patriots, DW picked the Buccaneers over the Lions, and James and Cam picked the Saints over the Chargers. SMH. Definitely yell at all of them in the comments.

As is our proud tradition, we also picked a couple of other high profile games this week. We’ve got the Texans taking on the Rams in Los Angeles, and our staff is leaning ever-so-slightly in Houston’s favor in that one. We only have three people, DW, Cory, and me, who think the Cowboys can pull off a win against the Cardinals this week.
