NFL Wagering Week 3 Tout Sheet Dallas Cowboys-Houston, 49ers-Chiefs, Texans and Bills-Patriots

Dallas Cowboys-Houston, 49ers-Chiefs, Texans and Bills-Patriots NFL schedule preview from Bodog

Let’s start out with the game pro bettors say is the best bet of the day and the NFL week 3 odds.

Night Football and oddsmakers have decided to make Kansas City +2.5 underdogs in the Bodog Sportsbook.

The questions that prevent the Chiefs from truly getting “2-0 respect” is their offense. Kansas City has two touchdowns so far, quarterback Matt Cassel can’t pass it more than five yards and head coach Todd Haley seems dead set on relegating his best weapon, running back Jamaal Charles, to a backup role. Instead Haley is using 32-year-old Thomas Jones to push the pile, opting for Jones’ slow-and-steadiness (Jones averages 3.7 yards per carry) over Charles’ explosiveness (Charles averages 6.4).

Meanwhile, the Niners are coming and considering how pissed coach Mike Singletary gets after losses (the Niners lost to New Orleans 25-22 in Week 2), they will be itching to vent all their anger at Arrowhead Stadium.

Expect a steady dose of RB Frank Gore, as the Niners want to prevent quarterback Alex Smith from throwing whenever possible.

With oddsmakers listing the Total at 36.5, don’t expect a lot of scoring in this one.

The best bet of the week? Without debate, it’s from the LateInfo line. Sept. 25 it was another gift on Stanford; Sept. 19 it was the Dolphins over Vikings. Sept. 18 Nebraska routs Washington, Sept 11 it was Alabama humiliating Penn State, and Sept 4 it was Oregon State covering versus TCU.

The Houston Texans passed their first test in Week 1 — take out AFC South bully Indianapolis. Now it’s the Dallas Cowboys, their interstate big brother. We don’t think we’re overselling this matchup when we say it has huge implications for either side.

NFL Odds have listed the Texans as -3 favorites at home, but the Cowboys can’t lose this game. Despite having the all-world talent on paper, the Cowboys are 0-2 on the season and against the spread. A loss could mean 0-3, no Super Bowl at home, and a lot of heads rolling. Jerry Jones ain’t playing. They need to win.

But Houston ain’t playing either. A decisive win over Indy in Week 1 and a comeback victory over Washington in Week 2 probably has them finally believing they have the squad to end up Jones’ HD screens come February. Matt Schaub is looking like a top-five quarterback and Andre Johnson… well nothing’s changed with Johnson. He’s been in beastmode since David Carr was taking shots in the backfield.

So let’s add this up: 0-2 Dallas + pissed off Jerry Jones + the arrival of Houston = flip a coin. This one could be a classic.

We just sucked.” That was Tom Brady after losing to the cocky New York Jets in Week 2. What does that mean for bettors? Brady and the New England Patriots are going to right the ship before Week 3. Buffalo Bills beware.

Barring a miracle or Brady injury, the Pats are going to win this game. The question is are they going to cover the spread? NFL Odds have listed them as -14.5 favorites. Considering the Bills are 3-1 against the spread when they are double-digits dogs, Wes Welker and Randy Moss will have to get theirs for the Pats to cover.

Even if the Pats don’t put up 30 on the Bills, their defense may do the job for them. After scoring 17 points in two games coach Chan Gailey is opting for quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick over Trent Edwards, a move we don’t see making much of a difference. Buffalo rookie runner C.J. Spiller needs to have a breakout game for the Bills to keep up. Gailey keeps promising to use Spiller’s game-changing speed on Sunday, but all we’ve seen is a lot of dancing behind the o-line followed by negative yardage. The ninth overall pick has nine yards in two games.

Week 3 NFL Schedule: Eagles vs. Jaguars, Colts vs. Broncos

Betting on football NFL week three football picks continues a winning weekend for pro bettors. Here is another Bodog sports betting preview of the Colts vs. Broncos.

Anyone who let the thought enter their brain that Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts were cooling off got a rude awakening on Sunday Night Football. The Colts are still contenders, and can still embarrass you on both sides of the ball.

Peyton beat his little brother Eli in Week 2 like they were in grade school and play-fighting in the backyard, dicing up the New York Giants defense for 255 yards and three touchdowns while his defense forced three turnovers.

Now comes the Denver Broncos, and we guarantee Manning and the Colts still have a big chip after being embarrassed by Houston in Week 1. NFL Odds have picked up the vibe and listed the Broncos as +6 underdogs despite playing at home.

But it would be foolish for a bettor to count the Broncos out. Not only are they the dreaded home dog – who are 8-3 against the spread so far this season — but the Broncos have an impressive passing attack of their own. Quarterback Kyle Orton ranks sixth in passing yards this year and has 3 TDs with just one interception. Add in solid second-year running back Knowshon Moreno against a Colts rushing defense that ranks dead last, and it could another homedog upset Sunday afternoon.

Oddsmakers put up 48 as the Total and it has a good shot to go OVER. The Colts and Broncos are both 2-0 O/U.

Matt Rivers says: bang, bang, bang! This past week has been all about smacking the Crookie as usual and nothing at all changes today. Saturday marked yet another phenomenal day and a ton of more pure profit. Now I raise that bar in a monster monster way. Pretty much the biggest play in my arsenal is here in this 500,000* Game of my Life between New York and Miami. A pair of bonus 200,000* in Washington-St. Louis and Detroit-Minnesota.

I feel beyond tremendous right about now and if you have been listening to me you do as well. 3-0 sweep capped off by the late game from Miami. What more could you ever ask for? Click now to purchase

From Peyton Manning to Mike Vick, here is an Eagles vs. Jaguars picks preview.

This was supposed to be the Philadelphia Eagles’ unveiling of Kevin Kolb. Unfortunately, Michael Vick going Madden 11 on the Lions in Week 2 has changed things. Coach Andy Reid is rolling with the hot hand, and Vick’s hands could light a fire right now.

So how has the Michael Vick Experience changed things for oddsmakers? Well, what was once EVEN, is now +3 for the Jacksonville Jaguars at home. The NFL odds are understandable, the Jaguars rank 28th in total yards allowed and Vick is a total yards juggernaut, averaging 229.5 yards passing and 70 yards rushing – nasty.

“Michael Vick is playing out of his mind right now,” Reid said.

So how do the Jags slow down the Vick bandwagon? As impressed as we are with Vick’s development as a quarterback, he can be beaten. Vick was sacked five times against Detroit, had his share of bad passes and took his share of big hits. If the Jags can wake up at home and keep him from making Sports Center, the turnovers will come.

The Jags on offense is another story. If Philly lives up to its rep it’s going to send the house at quaterback David Garrard. Garrard can’t have another four-interception day like in Week 2 or Vick will only need checkdowns to win.

Saints vs. Falcons, Brett Favre and Vikings vs. Lions

Professional gamblers are not done with week 3 NFL sports handicappers pick info.  Bodog starts out with the Falcons vs. Saints.

If the Atlanta Falcons are going to be able to upset the New Orleans Saints this year and try and contend with the champs for the NFC South, one would think that Atlanta has a pretty good shot in Week 3 on Sunday afternoon, although New Orleans is a 4-point home favorite on Bodog’s NFL Odds.

The two things Atlanta has going for it is that the Saints are playing on a short week, having beaten the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night – and the physical Niners always take a toll on teams. And that was proven on Monday as New Orleans lost running back Reggie Bush for six weeks with a broken bone in his leg. The Saints, who are 8-4 since 2006 without Bush in the lineup, certainly will rely more on Pierre Thomas, who is off to a bit of a slow start in averaging 3.2 yards per carry (New Orleans is 31st in rushing) but does lead the team with 11 catches. That New Orleans offense looks nowhere near as explosive thus far as it was in 2009 – it was outgained by 130 yards on Monday night.

The Falcons found a new weapon in their 41-7 blowout of the Arizona Cardinals last week. Jason Snelling was named the NFC Player of the Week for his 129-yard, two-touchdown performance on the ground against the Cardinals. He also caught five passes for 57 yards and a touchdown. He’ll stay plenty occupied in the offense because fellow RB Jerious Norwood, formerly the No. 2 back, was lost to a season-ending injury.

Last season Atlanta gave New Orleans major trouble, losing by just eight at the Superdome and forcing four turnovers, and then by three at the Georgia Dome despite playing without Matt Ryan and Michael Turner. The Falcons easily covered in both games and are 3-1 ATS in the past four meetings. The Saints have yet to cover this year and are just 1-6 ATS in their past seven against NFC South division foes.

It’s one of the winning spread picks from the top NFL handicapper ever GodsTips.

In another afternoon matchup, but that the Minnesota Vikings are also 0-2 is one of the NFL’s biggest stories through two weeks. So it’s far to call this a must-win game if Brett Favre and Co. want to reach the playoffs in what he swears is his final season. Minnesota opened as an 11.5-point favorite on Bodog’s NFL Odds – the second-largest spread differential in Week 3.

Now it’s the Vikings vs. Lions betting preview:

The Lions have lost 21 consecutive road games, just a few short of their own record, but they aren’t that far from being 2-0. Detroit should have won in Week 1 at Chicago but a Calvin Johnson touchdown was waved off. And last week, the Lions played the Philadelphia Eagles all but even, losing 35-32. Backup QB Shaun Hill was excellent in that game for Detroit, going 25-for-45 for 335 yards and two touchdowns and he will start again because Matthew Stafford still isn’t ready to play after a Week 1 injury against the Bears. RB Jahvid Best looks like the early Rookie of the Year, as he was a monster against the Eagles with 78 yards rushing, nine catches for 154 yards and three total touchdowns – he leads the NFL with five scores.

The Vikings understandably lost in Week 1 at New Orleans, but the offense continued to sputter last week in a 14-10 home loss to Miami. After throwing two interceptions at the Metrodome all of last season, Favre accounted for four turnovers in the home opener (three picks, a fumble). And more bad news: Receiver Percy Harvin missed some practice this week with a return of his migraines, so he could well be forced to sit Sunday. The Vikings can ill afford to go down another receiver as they already are missing Sidney Rice. Favre could set two marks Sunday as he is 275 yards shy of 70,000 in his career and two TDs away from 500.

Minnesota swept the season series with Detroit last year, scoring 27 points in each game, and has won 12 in a row at home over the Lions, who have covered just once in the past five trips to the Metrodome.

Sports Handicappers Week 3 NFL Football Scores Prediction Info

It’s more NFL spread week 3 picks breakdowns from Bodog sportsbook.

The only matchup of unbeaten teams on Sunday takes place in Tampa, when the Pittsburgh Steelers – on yet another starting quarterback – face the surprising Bucs. Pittsburgh is a 3-point favorite on Bodog’s NFL Odds.

Charlie Batch gets the start for Pittsburgh with Ben Roethlisberger still suspended, Dennis Dixon hurt and Byron Leftwich still not 100 percent from a preseason knee injury, although Leftwich, a former Buc, will be the No. 2 quarterback. Batch, who hasn’t started a game since the end of the 2007 season, played the final three quarters in last week’s win over Tennessee but went just 5-for-11 for 25 yards. The Steelers haven’t even scored an offensive touchdown yet in regulation.

The Bucs are easily one of the surprise teams in the NFL after registering just three wins a year ago. An opening home win over Cleveland wasn’t shocking but last week’s road win at Carolina was certainly unexpected. Josh Freeman has been very solid in his second year with just one pick. This is Tampa Bay’s first 2-0 start in five years.

This should be an incredibly low-scoring game. Pittsburgh’s defense is ranked sixth overall and just shut down Tennessee’s Chris Johnson last week, not to mention forced seven Tennessee turnovers. The Steelers are tied for the NFL lead in allowing just 10 points per game. Meanwhile, in the eight games since head coach Raheem Morris also took over as defensive coordinator, the Bucs are allowing an average of only 15.9 points and no opponent has scored more than two touchdowns. That Tampa Bay defense, which is allowing 10.5 points this season, did lose starting free safety Tanard Jackson this week to a one-year suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy.

Pittsburgh leads the all-time series 7-1 but the teams haven’t played since 2006. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was the defensive backs coach for Tampa Bay from 2001-05.

The Great One Stevie Vincent is 47-23 with Level 5 plays including Ohio State and the Diamondbacks. He has the Interconference Lock of the Year in pro football among two pro football winners.

Now Bodog takes a look at the Titans vs. Giants. Despite the fact that Vince Young got yanked from last week’s loss to the Steelers, he will start Sunday at the Giants. But will coach Jeff Fisher have a short leash? New York is a 3-point favorite on Bodog’s NFL Odds and there will be live betting on this game.

Neither Tennessee nor New York looked very good last week in losing to AFC powers. The Titans had a whopping seven turnovers – their most since 2000 – and only 238 total yards in a 19-11 loss to Pittsburgh. The big stunner was that Chris Johnson rushed for just 34 yards on 16 carries, although he did have an 85-yard TD run wiped away by a penalty. That ended his streak of consecutive 100-yard games at 12. Young was pulled after his third turnover (two picks, a fumble). Kerry Collins led the Titans to their only TD but Fisher made it clear this week there’s no quarterback controversy and that he was simply looking for a spark.

The Giants were blown out by Indy in the Manning Bowl, 38-14. New York dared Indy to run and the Colts did, as their 43 rush attempts were the most in the Peyton Manning era and their 160 rushing yards their most since 2007. The Giants will no doubt flip that strategy this week and make Young beat them with his arm. Johnson, by the way, averages 98.7 rushing yards per game on the road in his career.

Eli Manning could have trouble Sunday as Tennessee has allowed just 171 passing yards, easily the fewest in the league. Manning has completed 33 of 54 passes for 424 yards with five touchdowns this season but has thrown four interceptions – he turned the ball over three times against the Colts. The Titans also have allowed just five of 29 third down conversions.

The Titans have won nine consecutive games against NFC opponents. The Titans and Giants have met just nine times, with Tennessee winning the past four meetings. But they haven’t met since 2006.

NFL Newsletter Picks, Bodog Tout Sheet Week 3 NFL

The NFL week 3 TV schedule for CBS and Fox has several great sports picks but perhaps the best bet is for the Sunday night football. Here is Bodog previewing the latest NFL odds picks.

First up is the Ravens vs. Browns. After having tough matchups in Week 1 and 2 the Baltimore Ravens finally have a layup on the schedule, the Cleveland Browns.

Although Ray Lewis’ defense has been dominant, the offense has struggled against the equally dangerous defenses of the New York Jets and Cincinnati Bengals, today’s their chance to show they have the offense to be a Super Bowl contender.

Oddsmakers expect the Ravens to win. NFL Odds have them listed as -11 favorites in the Bodog Sportsbook. However, whether they are able to cover will be dependent on the offense. Quaterback Joe Flacco looked ugly versus Cincinnati, tossing four picks in their 15-10 loss. He’ll need to rebound and the run game will have to get back to dominating opponents. They were ranked fifth in rushing yards in 2009, they rank 26th today.

As for the Browns, when you’re hoping for a big day from QB Seneca Wallace and RB Peyton Hillis you know you’ve got problems. They need to keep this game close going into the fourth quarter to have a chance.

The best bet of the week? Without debate, it’s from the LateInfo line. Sept. 25 it was another gift on Stanford; Sept. 19 it was the Dolphins over Vikings. Sept. 18 Nebraska routs Washington, Sept 11 it was Alabama humiliating Penn State, and Sept 4 it was Oregon State covering versus TCU.

Here is another Bodog sports betting preview, this on the Bengals vs. Panthers. The sign of a desperate head coach trying to save his job is such: Replace your starting quarterback with a rookie in Week 3. That’s what Carolina’s John Fox has done, as former Notre Dame star Jimmy Clausen gets the call on Sunday against Cincinnati, with the Bengals as 3.5-point favorites on Bodog’s NFL odds.

Clausen replaces Matt Moore, who was benched after committing six turnovers and guiding two touchdown drives in the first two games – both Carolina losses. In fact, counting the preseason, the Panthers have scored two offensive touchdowns in six games. Clausen came on in relief of Moore in last Sunday’s surprising loss to the Buccaneers and completed 7 of 13 passes for 59 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. And Clausen, who is the fifth rookie QB to start in Panthers history (other four went 2-2) won’t have one of the Panthers’ top offensive lineman to protect him as tackle Jeff Otah still isn’t ready to make his season debut due to a knee injury.

Carolina has arguably the best 1-2 running back tandem in DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart but Carolina ranks just 16th in the NFL with 104 rushing yards per game – last year the Panthers averaged 156 yards a game, third in the NFL.

Clausen will face a Cincy defense that had four interceptions and held Baltimore to 259 yards in a 15-10 win against the Ravens last weekend. And expect a big game from Terrell Owens. He has played the Panthers 15 times and has caught more passes (75) and gained more yards (1,110) against them than any other team. Owens needs 148 yards to pass former Rams great Isaac Bruce into second place on the all-time receiving yards list with 15,209. In an odd stat, Bengals QB Carson Palmer is just 4-6 against rookie QBs.

The Bengals have lost five consecutive road games. Cincinnati has lost two games all-time in Charlotte by combined 79-34.

Now the Redskins vs. Rams. The St. Louis Rams haven’t won a home game since Week 7 of the 2008 NFL season, but a few things might point to the Rams upsetting the Washington Redskins on Sunday. However, the Skins are 4.5-point favorites on Bodog’s NFL odds.

For one thing, the Rams have played the Redskins very tough the past two seasons, albeit those Washington teams didn’t have Donovan McNabb at quarterback. St. Louis lost 9-7 in D.C. last year and beat the Skins there in Week 6 of 2008 – one of the Rams’ three wins since the start of that season. Plus St. Louis is clearly improved despite being 0-2, as its two losses are by a combined six points.

The Rams’ best player, Steven Jackson, will play. He was limited in practice all week with a knee injury but is probable. He has run for 156 yards and caught eight passes for 56 yards so far this year. The injury report definitely favors the Rams as the following players are questionable for the Skins: defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth (ankle), safety LaRon Landry (wrist), running back Clinton Portis (wrist) and left tackle Trent Williams (knee/toe). Landry, by the way, leads the league in tackles, which is pretty impressive for a safety.

Washington has morphed into a passing team with McNabb, as the Skins rank seventh in passing yards in the league and have run the ball only 40 times, the second-fewest in the league, and rank last in the NFL with 107 rushing yards. However, the Rams are third-worst against the run in the league.

Meanwhile, Rams rookie QB Sam Bradford has been OK in his first two starts, as he has four touchdowns, five interceptions and a 57.5 completion percentage through two games. He faces a Washington defense that ranks second-to-last against the pass.

St. Louis has lost 14 games in a row at home, by far the longest streak in the NFL. Washington has covered just once in its past eight as a favorite.

The top service pick this week according to Power of 620 sports services behind every selection, the MasterLockLine: Now No. 1 this season and No. 6 all-time pro and college football, No. 2 the last three years is that attorney/law professor/pro bettor turned pro bettor/professional handicapper out of Tri Cities, TN is best known for being the greatest SEC handicapper of all-time.

Courtesy of OddsShark.com: Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Steelers and Bucs meet in a battle of unbeaten teams, while the Dolphins take on the Jets, and the Sprint Cup Series takes on Dover.

Colliding on the gridiron . . .

The National Football League offers up a full slate of games on Sunday, including a matchup of unbeaten teams in Tampa Bay when the Buccaneers (2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS) play host to the Steelers (2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS). The Bucs stayed perfect by knocking off division-rival Carolina 20-7 on the road last week; Josh Freeman went 12-of-24 for 178 yards passing with two TD strikes in that contest. The Steelers are coming off a 19-11 win in Tennessee, but they’ll be using Charlie Batch as their starting QB and Byron Leftwich as their backup on Sunday. Oddsmakers, though, still have the Steelers listed as the 2.5-point road favorites for Sunday’s game, with the total for that matchup at 33.

Also on the NFL schedule for Sunday: Cincinnati (-3) at Carolina, Buffalo at New England (-14.5), San Francisco (-2.5) at Kansas City, Tennessee at the Giants (-3), Cleveland at Baltimore (-10.5), Atlanta at New Orleans (-4), Detroit at Minnesota (-11), Dallas at Houston (-3), Philadelphia (-3) at Jacksonville, Washington (-3.5) at St. Louis, Indianapolis (-5.5) at Denver, Oakland at Arizona (-4.5), and San Diego (-5.5) at Seattle. As well, Miami (-2) hosts the Jets in the Sunday night contest. The Dolphins (2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS) went on the road and knocked off the Vikings 14-10 last weekend, while the Jets (1-1 SU, 1-1 ATS) are coming off a 28-14 win over the Pats. The game’s total is at 35.

There’s also one CFL game on tap for Sunday, with Edmonton taking on Toronto at a neutral site in Moncton, New Brunswick. The Eskimos (2-9 SU, 3-8 ATS) have lost three in a row, and they’re listed as 3.5-point underdogs against the Argos (6-5 SU, 6-5 ATS). Free picks week 3 NFL against the spread are up.

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

On the American League schedule for Sunday it’ll be Kansas City at Cleveland, Minnesota at Detroit, Baltimore at Toronto, Seattle at Tampa Bay, the White Sox at the Angels, Texas at Oakland, and Boston at the Yankees. Daisuke Matsuzaka (9-6, 4.86 ERA) is slated to take on Dustin Moseley (4-3, 4.94 ERA) in that BoSox/Yankees contest. Righthander Matsuzaka was beaten by the Orioles last time out, surrendering four runs on six hits over 6 1-3 innings of work.  Righthander Moseley last started against the Rangers on September 12, allowing four runs on five hits over 6 2-3 innings in a loss.

Meanwhile, the National League on Sunday features Houston at Pittsburgh, Atlanta at Washington, Florida at Milwaukee, St. Louis at the Cubs, San Francisco at Colorado, Cincinnati at San Diego, the Dodgers at Arizona, and the Mets at Philadelphia. Pat Misch (0-4, 4.44 ERA) will get the ball for New York in that last contest, while the Phillies counter with Cole Hamels (12-19, 2.93 ERA). Lefthander Misch started against the Phillies back on August 14, giving up four runs (one earned) over six innings in a loss. Lefthander Hamels ran his winning streak to five starts last time out, holding the Braves to one run on six hits over eight innings of work. Hamels fanned six in that win.

Roaring around the track . . .

The Sprint Cup Series hits the track at Dover International Speedway on Sunday afternoon for the second race of the Chase, the AAA 400. Kyle Busch took the checkered flag in the Autism Speaks 400 at Dover back in May, and he’s the oddsmakers’ choice at 4/1 to get the win on Sunday afternoon. Jimmie Johnson, who had won the previous two Dover events, is at 9/2 odds to visit victory lane in the AAA 400, with Carl Edwards at 10/1, Greg Biffle at 11/1, and Kurt Busch at 12/1. Clint Bowyer, who won the first Chase race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway last week but was subsequently docked points for failing inspection, sits at 16/1 to take the victory.

As well, the Formula 1 circuit heads to Asia for the Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday. Fernando Alonso won the series’ last race, the Italian Grand Prix, on September 12, and he’s tied with Lewis Hamilton at 4/1 odds to take the checkered flag in Singapore on Sunday. Sebastien Vettel, though, is the 9/4 race favorite, with fellow Red Bull driver just behind him on that list at 3/1 odds to win. Hamilton won the Singapore Grand Prix last season, with Alonso finishing third, Vettel fourth, and Jenson Button fifth, while Webber had brake issues and did not finish the race.
