NFL Week 3 betting is getting underway, and as usual, the spotlight will be brightly on the quarterbacks when teams hit the field. Here’s what to watch for:
49ers vs Vikings odds
Both teams are heading into this game with a 2-0 record, so something has to give in all likelihood. This game features two of the best running backs in the NFL in Minnesota’s Adrian Peterson and San Francisco’s Frank Gore, who ran for 207 yards and had two touchdown runs of 79 and 80 yards last week.
Falcons vs Patriots odds
The Falcons look to remain undefeated, but to be the best, you have to beat the best, and he’ll go up against Tom Brady and the Patriots, who haven’t looked all that good this year. Still, the game is in Foxboro, which is a good enough reason to make the Patriots one of your NFL picks this week.
Saints vs Bills odds
Any takers on how many points and yards Drew Brees and the Saints put up this week against the Bills? Yes, the Saints are a dome team, but they played outside in Philadelphia and hung 48 points on a tough Eagles defense. This will be the Saints’ first trip to Buffalo since 2001, but don’t be afraid to make them an online sports betting pick this week.
Steelers vs Bengals odds
The Steelers were upset in Chicago, although Solider Field is a very tough place to play, while the Bengals were busy making their own upset as they went into Lambeau Field and beat the Packers, complete with a “Lambeau Leap” that was promised by Chad Ochocinco. The Steelers have won nine of their last 10 games in Cincinnati, including eight in a row, but something doesn’t look right with Pittsburgh, and we think it’s the lack of a running game.
Broncos vs Raiders odds
This is always a good game, regardless of how bad they are, because of the longstanding hatred. But if anyone would have said that the Broncos would be 2-0 right now, they’d be laughed out of the room. The Broncos have won seven of their last 10 trips to Oakland, including last year’s 41-14 massacre. We’re betting management of the Raiders would like to avenge that.
