Week 3

What happens after a team loses a big game? They either continue to suck or pick up the pieces and come out hungrier than ever. Week 2 saw big losses by big teams and we've got the skinny on who'll return to former glory, who'll see even more losses in the future, and, most importantly, how it affects your fantasy team.

The Packers fell to the Bengals.
The Packers are at St. Louis and after getting beat by two mediocre teams in Weeks 1 and 2, St. Louis' first win isn't likely to come against Green Bay. Look for Green Bay's defense to allow under 10 points by Marc Bulger and Stephen Jackson and expect A-Rod to air it out all over the Rams' porous shell of a secondary.

The Super Bowl Champion Steelers lost to Jay Cutler and the Bears.
Matt Forte owners are still looking for him to explode and after what Frank Gore did to Seattle's run defense this could be his game. Cutler temporarily silenced the critics in defeating Pittsburgh but who's to say what would have happened if Polamalu was still in. Still, in two games, Cutler has thrown for over 500 yards and that number will only get bigger against the Seahawks.

The Jet toppled Tom Brady and the Patriots.
Bill Belichick is the master of adaptation and after the beating on Tom Brady, expect them to come out hungry with a new game plan even against Atlanta's surprisingly good defense. As the season progresses, look for Brady to fall back into a groove after missing all of last season.

Romo loses it on Sunday night.
As a Cowboy fan, that was a tough game to watch. Time and time again I've seen Tony Romo literally throw away a game like he did on Sunday night. The Cowboys are playing the Panthers this week and without Marion Barber a win will be a little more difficult. And with no touchdowns yet this season by wide reciever Steve Smith, the Panthers will be looking to capitalize on the Cowboys' Week 2 loss. Dallas will pull out the win but not without a few mistakes from Romo.

Dolphins fall apart against the Sheriff.
Miami is at San Diego in Week 3 and they will not win. At this point every player in a skill position (QB Rivers, RBs LDT and Sproles, WR Jackson) on the Chargers (who are coming off a tough loss to Baltimore themselves) is worth owning. The opposite is true for Miami with the exception of Ronnie Brown, their only reliable weapon.

Eagles lose to the Saints.
Philly plays Kansas City this week and they are just a lousy team. Keep in mind that Michael Vick is eligible this week and will get at least a few snaps. Who knows, if he does well he might replace interception machine Kevin Kolb as the starter while McNabb sits out with a cracked rib.

Till next week, GO COWBOYS!
