Week 3 NFL Best Bets

We are getting stronger and strong every week. Last week I went 3-0 in the spreads and 1/3 in the props. We are aiming for 100% this week. That’s the goal. If you were thinking about laying a parlay, this is the week to do so…

Favorite of the Week

Seattle Seahawks (-6) over Carolina Panthers

The combination of Seattle getting back on track last week and the fact that the Panthers don’t have their young rookie QB is a recipe for disaster. Add on top that this game is being played in Seattle, a very difficult place to play. Seattle’s offense should be able to keep this games at arm length for the entirety of the 60 minutes.

Double Favorite of the Week!!

Dallas Cowboys (-12.5) @ Arizona Cardinals

That’s right. No underdog this week. Have you looked at the schedule. Could be a nice Sunday to go out apple picking with your kids….OR you can watch the Dallas Cowboys cover the 12.5 line and demolish Arizona. The Dallas defense has been on another level the first two weeks. I don’t think anyone can block Micah Parsons. And while the injury to Trevon Diggs will hurt, I don’t think Arizona has enough playmakers to make it hurt. This game may be over by halftime.

Best Bet of the Week

Baltimore Ravens (-8) vs. Indianapolis Colts

My third favorite this week consists of another team taking on an injury riddled rookie QB squad. Yes, Gardner Minshew came in last week and led the Colts to a win…against Houston. The Ravens are a different animal and they are playing very well to start the year. We all know how good the Ravens start seasons. This is basically a touchdown spread and I see this game being a 10 point victory for Baltimore.

PROP BETS

Javonte Williams +120 anytime TD scorer

Jakobi Meyers +270 anytime TD scorer

Patrick Mahomes over 285.5 Passing Yards (-114)

While the Dolphin offense has gotten a lot of hype, their defense has still been leaky over the first couple of weeks. Javonte has been ok through the first two games, but I think this is the week he gets on the board. Meyers seemed to be Garoppolos favorite red-zone target in Week 1, and while he returns from a concussion this week, Mike Tomlin always does a good job taking away a team’s first option, so Meyers could score in this one. The Patrick Mahomes one….just do it.

Week 2 NFL Best Bets

We are back for Week 2. We did 50/50 last week as I went 1/3 on spread lines, but went 2/3 in the prop bets. Good to get the Week 1 jitters out of the way. Now that we’ve seen teams for a week, we can diagnose some tendencies and what teams like to do. Here’s to a better Week 2!

Favorite of the Week

Dolphins (-3) over Patriots

Miami’s offense was on a different speed than everyone else’s last weekend. While New England had a solid plan for the Eagles, I truly don’t know how you cover Tyreek Hill and his speed. The fins can also hit you with Waddle and Smythe if need be.

Upset of the Week

Cardinals (+6) over Giants

Was there something to do the Giants getting shutout 40-0? I’m not entirely sure, but what I do know is that both Andrew Thomas and Darren Waller are dealing with injuries while Arizona was surprisingly competitive last week in Washington.

Best Bet of the Week

Buccaneers (+2.5) over Bears

Consider me a non-believer in Chicago until they can prove it. Meanwhile, The Bucs defense reminded everyone they are still here. We also got vintage Baker in Minnesota. A. 2-0 start for Tampa Bay would be something that no one expected.

PROP BETS

Jamaal Williams (NO) anytime touchdown scorer (+125)

Tee Higgins (CIN) anytime touchdown scorer (+150)

Travis Etienne 115+ Rushing Yards

Carolina struggled with the Falcons run game last week, and New Orleans got the run game going in the second half. Expect them to stick with that on Monday. Higgins had 0 catches in Week 1, which means he might explode in Week 2. And while the Chiefs are getting Chris Jones back, I think he is on a snap count, and Etienne seemed to find his rhythm in the 4th quarter last week.
