Week 3 was another difficult week for many of the entrants in the Westgate SuperContest. It was the same story as Week 2, except there was a much unhappier ending here at BangTheBook.com.
This week, we’ll once again stick with the Sunday night game, as the Chicago Bears visit the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys are favored by 7 and the total on the game is 44.5.
The Detroit Lions definitely lost more than a football game in Week 2. That’s a driving force behind the line for this NFC North battle in Week 3, as the Green Bay Packers host the hobbled Lions.
This could be the best game of Week 3, with the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, one of the truest home field advantages left in the NFL. The Chiefs are laying the standard three points for this one.
The best thing to do when betting the NFL is to prey on overreaction. Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to see if something is a knee-jerk reaction or a legitimate adjustment about the team or teams in action.
The NFL is truly a “What have you done for me lately?” business. That’s why this is such an interesting game between the Atlanta Falcons and the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football.
The picks are in and now we focus our attentions on the gambling gods for Week 3 of the Westgate SuperContest. Picks 11 through 15 will go off this week in the 17-week, 85-pick grind that is the world’s premier handicapping contest.
The Patriots will either go with Jacoby Brissett or somebody signed off the street for this primetime tilt on Thursday. As a result, Houston is road chalk at Foxboro.New England was favored by 3.5 points before the Garoppolo injury.
If you had a winning week in Week 2, you deserve a pat on the back, a hearty sigh of relief, and maybe a celebratory shot or two.
The key to Week 2 of the NFL is not overreacting to what you, as a handicapper, just saw. Is that the case here with the Chiefs vs. Texans line movement? Is there more than meets the eye about this game?
New York Giants at Minnesota Vikings NFL Pick, Odds, & Prediction
Minnesota has a golden chance to go to 4-0 with the first Monday Night Football game in U.S. Bank Stadium history. The New York Giants are hoping to spoil the party and pull off the outright upset as a 4.5-point favorite.
Kansas City Chiefs at Pittsburgh Steelers NFL Pick, Odds, & Prediction
The Steelers are getting the betting market love early in the week, but it doesn’t take a whole lot to move a line from 4.5 to 5.5, so we’ll have to see what the true position is closer to kickoff.
Denver Broncos at Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL Pick, Odds, & Prediction
Through three weeks, the Broncos look like a Super Bowl contender again. It was supposed to be a different story in Tampa Bay, but the Buccaneers look like a young team without a direction and without a chance at the playoffs.
Cleveland Browns at Washington Redskins NFL Pick, Odds, & Prediction
The standings aren’t indicative of the major strides that the Browns have made through three weeks of the season and it doesn’t seem like the odds for Week 4 are either. The Washington Redskins are more than a touchdown favorite at home for Sunday’s matchup.
Miami Dolphins at Cincinnati Bengals NFL Pick, Odds, & Prediction
The Bengals are touchdown chalk for this one, although early betting indications are that the sharp, early-week action shows some slight favoritism to the underdog.
