We’re baaaaaaack. After a short hiatus from discussing our picks, the Korner Booth week one picks article is here. After an exciting TNF game featuring the Titans and Gardner Minshew’s majestic mustache (buy a shirt), here is the Korner Booth team’s picks for college football week four and NFL week three.
College Football Week 4
#11 Michigan @ # 13 Wisconsin
Kevin’s Pick: Michigan
Is Harbaugh on the hot seat? Can Michigan compete for the Big Ten? These are big questions facing the wolverines, and I expect them to answer them with a win this game.
Savannah’s Pick: Wisconsin
Taylor is too much for Michigan to contain.
Jared’s Pick: Wisconsin
Wisco has a top ranked defense and Jonathan Taylor is a top running back in the nation. Michigan also struggled with army….
#8 Auburn @ #17 Texas A&M
Kevin’s Pick: Texas A&M
A&M at College Station scares me. A&M ranked, at home, against a freshman QB (in his first road game) should be an easy win for the Aggies.
Savannah’s Pick: Auburn
Even after two weeks of decent showings out of Bo Nix, expect JaTarvious Whitlow to carry the load on offense, and the defense to keep A&M in check.
Jared’s Pick:
I guess Auburn…
#7 Notre Dame @ #3 Georgia
Kevin’s Pick: Georgia
Notre Dame needs to win this more than Georgia. If Notre Dame loses, they aren’t getting into the CFP. The pressures of this, added to the pressures of a road game, will help increase the Bulldogs’ chances.
Savannah’s Pick: Georgia
This Georgia team is one of the best overall teams in recent memory. With all of these weapons, Notre Dame isn’t topping them.
Jared’s Pick: Georgia
Georgia by a country mile.
NFL Week Three
Dolphins @ Cowboys
Kevin’s Pick: Cowboys
Dolphins are one of the worst teams I’ve ever seen. Even with a QB change, this team is so bad Marino couldn’t help them.
Savannah’s Pick: Cowboys
Josh Rosen is starting but that doesn’t help
Jared’s Pick: Cowboys
Tanktown continues
Bengals @ Bills
Kevin’s Pick: Bills
Bengals were as advertised last week: bad. Mixon couldn’t get going against the Niners, and I doubt that’ll change against the Bills defense.
Savannah’s Pick: Bills
Bills are just the better all around team right now.
Jared’s Pick: Bills
Bills are surprisingly good. Josh Allen is playing well and the Bengals are not good at all. They should be rebuilding at this point
Lions @ Eagles
Kevin’s Pick: Lions
The lions are better than I expected, and Stafford has created magic before. The Eagles laundry list of injuries will diminish any advantage they have at the Linc. I will also pick against the Eagles most weeks to piss off Jared.
Savannah’s Pick: Eagles
Lions can’t stop run game whatsoever, even with Stafford on his game, Eagles will come up with important stops.
Jared’s Pick: Eagles
Eagles may be short staffed at WR but they have an over all better team and are at home.
Jets @ Patriots
Kevin’s Pick: Pats
Do I need to justify this one?
Savannah’s Pick: Patriots
It’s the Pats vs 3rd string Jets.
Jared’s Pick: Pats
No further explanation.
Falcons @ Colts
Kevin’s Pick: Falcons
The Falcons showed last week they can win against a better opponent, and while the Colts are better than expected, their defense is worse than the Vikings. I doubt they can slow down the Falcons quartet of Ryan, Freeman, Julio, and Ridley
Savannah’s Pick: Colts
Colts have looked good even without Luck. Falcons seems ok at best this season.
Jared’s Pick: Falcons
Falcons proved last week they can play and the Colts are just average at best. Indy won’t be able to score with Atlanta.
Raiders @ Vikings
Kevin’s Pick: Vikings
Just hand the ball off to Cook and let the defense do its thing. Hell, start Mannion if you want. Just don’t let Kirk throw the ball.
Savannah’s Pick: Raiders
Upset of the week. Raiders have some valuable assets returning. Cousins throws 2 or more picks and their defense won’t be able to save him.
Jared’s Pick: Raiders
I actually have the raiders in this one if they can score early no matter how much the Vikings run Cook. I don’t trust cousins at all.
Ravens @ Chiefs
Kevin’s Pick: Ravens
Two of the hottest QBs in the streets square off. The Ravens defense and ground game will be the difference makers in this, as both aerial attacks will be impressive.
Savannah’s Pick: Ravens
These teams are even on offense, but the Ravens edge out Chiefs on D. That’ll make the difference.
Jared’s Pick: Chiefs
It’s 11:30, Jared missed this game, so I asked his cousin. “Umm that’s a tough one, probably Chiefs” was his answer. So this is the Korner Booth week one picks featuring Jared’s cousin, Andrew.
Broncos @ Packers
Kevin’s Pick: Packers
Broncos are headed nowhere fast, and the Pack has Rodgers.
Savannah’s Pick: Packers
Pack defense is strong, offense is slowly coming back to old Pack.
Jared’s Pick: Packers
Broncos are below average away from Mile High.
Panthers @ Cardinals

Kevin’s Pick: Cardinals
The Cardinals are the surprise team of the year. They won’t make the playoffs or anything, but they have a not terrible team and a good QB. Even with Newton, the Panthers suck, and by starting Kyle Allen over Will Grier they will only be worse.
Savannah’s Pick: Cards
Newton out, christian can’t carry team.
Jared’s Pick: Cardinals
No Cam, no will. Cardinals win.
Giants @ Buccaneers
Kevin’s Pick: Giants?
Daniel Jones is starting, and he looked good in the preseason. So, I guess the Giants? Regardless of the outcome on the field, I think America takes an L on this one by having to watch this game.
Savannah’s Pick: Giants
Welcome to the league Daniel Jones.
Jared’s Pick: Buccaneers
Buccs are the better of the bad teams.
Saints @ Seahawks
Kevin’s Pick: Seahawks
No Brees playing in Seattle? Put all your money on the Seahawks.
Savannah’s Pick: Seahawks
Saints D isn’t enough and neither is Michael Thomas’ talent without Brees.
Jared’s Pick: Seahawks
Seahawks may be a playoff team and the saints are lost without Brees.
Texans @ Chargers
Kevin’s Pick: Texans
Chargers semi-bounce back after that dud against the Lions. I say semi, however, because while they will play better, the Texans are too good and the Chargers have too much ground to make up.
Savannah’s Pick: Chargers
After a disappointing loss, this team will bounce back. Not without a fight though, Texans are a strong team.
Jared’s Pick: Texans
Chargers are not the same team without Gordon and James. Texans win.
Steelers @ 49ers
Kevin’s Pick: Niners
Even Big Ben couldn’t save the Steelers.
Savannah’s Pick: 49ers
No Big Ben and Jimmy G isn’t lookin too shabby.
Jared’s Pick: 49ers
49ers will score a ton of points in this one even with Minkah on the Steelers.
Rams @ Browns
Kevin’s Pick: Rams
Aaron Donald is still limited in practice, but this is the Browns first real test of the season. The Titans game was a fluke, but this won’t be. The Rams have the chemistry, experience in big games, and coaching to win. The Dawg Pound will be rocking, but the Rams walk out with a win.
Savannah’s Pick: Browns
First home SNF since 2008. Coming off win & big game from OBJ. Momentum is high and Garrett is looking strong. If Baker can throw to the right team, they’ll pull it out.
Jared’s Pick: Rams
The Browns won’t be able to block Donald or even Fowler. Baker is going to be hit a lot.
Bears @ Redskins
Kevin’s Pick: Bears
The r-words are better than I expected, and the Bears are worse. I will give the same advice to Nagy as I gave to Zimmer: DO. NOT. LET. MITCHELL. THROW. THE. BALL. If Nagy listens to me, the Bears will win.
Savannah’s Pick: Bears
Bears offense is mediocre at best, but their defense will most likely keep Washington from scoring at all.
Jared’s Pick: Bears
How is this the Monday game I guess the bears both teams are average.
