Just bad enough to win

To put it bluntly, the Senior Bro isn't too happy with his mediocre 9-7 record in Week 3. But to be sure, he isn't complaining about reclaiming his 2-game edge in the Gehlke Bros. Football Picks competition. It is easier to overlook seven losses when only one of them comes in a game that matters, and three of the wins more than offset it.

Such were Glenn's fortunes Sunday, as he collected a 40-33 comeback win when the Saints defeated the Texans, and then a 13-8 victory when San Francisco held off Cincinnati. It looked as if Sean might even the score in the late games when his Packers won their third in a row by knocking off the Bears, 27-17. But Arizona gave up a first-half lead to fall to host Seattle, 13-10, which was all the margin Glenn needed for a winning week.

Glenn also padded his lead over Ben, as the Chaos Kid stubbornly stuck by his ailing Colts in the Sunday nighter and watched the fall to 0-3. It was Glenn winning the week at 9-7, Ben taking the runner-up spot at 8-8, and Sean finishing 7-9. For the week, we collectively picked winners Detroit, Carolina, Tennessee, San Diego and Baltimore. No one correctly picked Buffalo, the N.Y. Giants, Cleveland, Oakland or Tampa Bay.
