Week 3 Preview

Well, week 3 is here and it's the first week of the season that includes a bye for a few teams. Taking a break this week are San Diego, Kansas City, Dallas and Oakland. Now I'm sure no one's upset that they have to officially sit their Raiders, but the loss of players like LaDanian Tomlinson, Larry Johnson and Terry Glenn could put some teams in your league in jeapordy this week. Let's take a look at the matchups. Remember, the picks are based without the spread...King of the Hill -- good, weekly gambling -- bad.
