Season Record: 3-3
Went 3-0 last week, so hoping to keep it going here this week. This is a tough week though. Here are my top 4 bets for week 3.
Carolina Panthers @ LA Chargers (-6.5) 4:05 PM
Panthers lose CMAC. Chargers almost beat the defending champs. Not so fast. Remember the Chargers needed a lot of luck just to beat the Bengals in week 1 while the Panthers have been competitive in each of their first two games. In his career, Teddy Bridgewater is 20-3 ATS in non division games and 12-0 ATS vs a non division opponent coming off of a loss. Take the points, look for it to be a low scoring, close game late.
Final Score Prediction: Panthers 20 Chargers 23
Bet: CAR +6.5
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-5.5) @ Denver Broncos 4:25 PM
The Over is 14-2 in the last 16 games Arians has coached. Broncos defense has not been unbreakable, and Tom Brady gets a fully loaded offense with Godwin coming back. Meanwhile, the Bucs have allowed 25.5 ppg to subpar offenses (yes, that includes the Saints). Broncos looked more in rhythm with Driskel, and if not improved, their offense should be close to the same. The Bucs run defense has been beaten up this year, and the Broncos have a solid run game that should produce some points.
Final Score Prediction: Buccaneers 27 Broncos 23
Bet: Over 42.5
LA Rams @ Buffalo Bills (-2) 1 PM
Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano return to the Bills defense this week. They’ll need them too, with how shaky their pass defense has been and with how good Jared Goff has been. Oh right, it’s Jared freaking Goff, on the road, against a good team. Pump the brakes on the Rams bandwagon. They’ve beaten a banged up Cowboys team (and shouldn’t have) and an Eagles team that’s atrocious. Their defense has been solid, so an under look here looks good too.
Final Score Prediction: Rams 16 Bills 23
Bet: BUF -1.5 & Under 46.5
