week three, NFL picks

After a better week with my picks last week it is time to keep the momentum going, as I make my NFL picks for week three.
1) I don't have a firm grasp on the Oakland Raiders, the Jets are a good road team so give me the Jets (-3) at Oakland.  NY Jets -3
2)  The Giant line is not posted but they go into Philly after loosing two more pieces of their offense, Mario Manningham will probably not play with a concussion and Domenik Hixon has been placed on IR with a ACL injury.  On the Eagles side there is a chance Michael Vick won't play (concussion) but all indications are that he will.  If Michael Vick plays, I don't see the Giants winning this one, when they get together later in the season things might be different.  Philadelphia Eagles
3)  Baltimore has had good showings against teams and this week they go up against an injury laden St. Louis Ram team that made a bunch of costly mistakes against the Giants last week.  I like Baltimore in this one, give me the Ravens (-4) over the Rams.  Baltimore Ravens -4  
4)  I like Pittsburgh on the road in Indianapolis, Payton Manning is still out and the Colt quarterback play has been spotty at best while Pittsburgh has a proven quarterback, give me Pittsburgh (-10.5) in Indy.  Pittsburgh Steelers -10.5    
5) This spread is a little high.  I like the Chargers at home against an over matched chief team, I'll take the San Diego Chargers (-14.5) over the Chiefs.  San Diego Chargers -14.5
