NFL spread picks week 3

*Had both Jaguars spread and picked them to win so 1-0 for the week so far.

Bengals @ Bills: BUF -6 O/U 43.5- I like the bills a lot, but giving them 6 points may be too many for my liking. The bengals have shown that they can score under their new coach Zac Taylor, allowing them to keep this game close. Bills win a close one, but the bengals cover.

BEN +6

Dolphins @ Cowboys: Cowboys -22.5 O/U 47- Ah I’m going to repeat the same mistake I did last week. Gambling brings out my inner insanity. Last week, I was saying “19 points is too many for any NFL team. Give me the dolphins.” And they went out and got blown out. But here I am, telling you to take the dolphins spread because 22.5 is just too many points. Cowboys win easily, but dolphins cover. Also take the over.

MIA: +22.5 OVER 47

Broncos vs Packers: GB -7 O/U 41.5- tough line here. While the packers are 2-0, they haven’t overly impressed me. The offense has looked like a mess for the majority of the season besides the first quarter against Minnesota, while the broncos looked pretty good against a tough bears team. I think this is a low scoring game, where the packers win by a field goal, so I am going to take the broncos to cover.

DEN: +7

Falcons vs colts: IND -1.5 O/U 48- I don’t trust Matt Ryan. Every time I gamble on the guy, he stabs me in the back. It’s like an alarm goes off in his head every time I put money on him. Give me the falcons.

ATL: +1.5

Ravens vs Chiefs: KC -5 O/U 52.5- whenever the chiefs are only losing 5 points at home, you have to take it. Yes, the Ravens have looked good. However, we don’t really know how legit they are. They played the Dolphins, who are on track to go 0-16, and the cardinals, who had a rookie QB playing his first game on the road. Give me Mahomes all day. It’s like betting the Yankees, it’s smart money. Also, life is too short not to take the over in this game.

KC: -5 OVER 52.5

Raiders vs Vikings: MIN -9 O/U 43.5- I don’t think the Vikings have earned that spread. I know the raiders aren’t very good, but what have the Vikings done? The answer is nothing. Yes, they are better at home, but 9 points is way too many for the Vikings. Give me the Raiders to cover, Vikings to win.

Raiders +9

Jets vs Patriots: NE -22 O/U 43- I will not make the same mistake twice. Betting against the Pats is not fun. They will dominate. The Jets will not score. Pats by 100. Also the under.

Pats -22 UNDER 43

Lions vs Eagles: PHI -4.5 O/U 45- The lions are a trendy pick to upset the Eagles this week. I understand why, with both Jeffery and D- Jax out. But 4.5 for the Eagles at home is too little. I trust Wentz and Pederson way more than Stafford and Patricia. Give me Eagles.

PHI -4.5

Panthers vs Cardinals: ARI -2 O/U 45.5- Love the cardinals here. Panthers are without Cam and have looked pathetic. The cardinals have looked pretty good. Could be a trap game, but give me the cardinals -2.

ARI -2

Giants vs Bucs: TB -6 O/U 48- I think the Giants bounce back and win this one. With Jones starting, life will be injected back into this team. It’s now or never for the Giants, so I think they beat a Bucs team that I don’t trust at all. Also, 48 is too many points take the under.

NYG +6 UNDER 48

Texans vs Chargers: LAC -3 O/U 48.5- I don’t really have a good feel for this game. If I had to pick a team I would go Texans +3, but I would just stay away from this game. If anything, take the over.

OVER 48.5

Steelers vs 49ers: SF -6.5 O/U 44- I think the 49ers are a little overhyped at the moment. Coming off a hot 2-0 start, I think they come back to earth a little with a sloppy win over a reeling Steelers team.

PIT +6 UNDER 44

Saints vs Seahawks: SEA -4.5 O/U 44.5- LOVE Seattle here. At home, against Bridgewater? Easy money. Seattle BIG

SEA -4.5

Rams vs Browns: LAR -3.5 O/U 47.5: I am conflicted here, because the Rams (Goff especially) really struggle on the road, while the Browns have looked BAD to start the year. If I had to pick, give me Rams -3.5, but the real play is the under at 47.5.

UNDER 47.5 LAR -3.5
