2019 NFL Week 3 Predictions

Week 3 Predictions

Falcons +1 over Colts, 24-22

-Colts have played well and been a nice story, but Falcons are still a far more established and veteran team, so I’m going to stay with that for one more week.

Ravens +6 over Chiefs, 27-31

-This is a more a bet than Arizona is decent and the Ravens win was a good one over them last week. Chiefs are better and likely win, but 6 points is a lot versus a good team.

Bills -6 over Bengals, 20-9

-Bills are decent, Bengals are trash. Check. Have to reestablish expectations.

Packers -7.5 over Broncos, 24-10

-I’d feel better if the Packers had had an offensive breakout by now, but Joe Flacco is involved so its fine.

Lions +6 over Eagles, 23-26

-Lions are playing things tightly, and the Eagles are not playing well and are very injured. Taking the points.

Cowboys -23.5 over Fins, 30-3

-Commit to the bit Fins, commit.

Patriots -23 over Jets, 34-10

-It’s almost worse than Miami because the Jets are trying

Vikings -9 over Raiders, 26-10

-I wonder if we will remember the end of the first quarter last week as the competitive part of the Raiders season. Very likely. The Vikings however have made offense sad to watch, especially since Dalvin Cook will break at some point. Also very likely.

Cards -2 over Panthers, 20-17

-Wow, can’t believe this is a confidence pick for me. Cam should be shut down, he doesn’t look right. Also, I want some of whatever Larry Fitz is consuming.

Bucs -6 over Giants, 23-13

-I guess? I am so excited A. The Giants are actually embracing reality and B. The Bucs are going to be 2-1 and I can’t wait to take favorable lines against them the rest of the way.

Texans +3 over Chargers, 31-30

-Texans have to have an offensive explosion somewhere and the Chargers don’t look right. This could be a high scoring affair though.

Seahawks -4.5 over Saints, 20-13

-I just don’t trust a non-Brees offense to score enough points. Maybe they will and surprise me. But for now I’ll take Russell over Bridgewater.

49ers -6.5 over Steelers, 23-14

-The 49ers are finding ways to put up a lot of points, and Ben is not coming through that door.

Rams -3.5 over Browns, 34-29

-Rams aren’t a offensive whirlwind, but still winning with solid football. I love the 3 WRs and how they bring consistent but different things to the offense. The Browns can absolutely compete in this game, but I worry about the lack of consistency from them. The over though, seems safe.

Washington +4 over Bears, 17-13

-The Bears haven’t shown any kind of offensive consistency yet. This is a Jags/Bortles situation right now, and until they either get Truthbisky to go up a level or cut bait entirely, that is where they will be stuck. I of course can’t wait for the middle ground, cap killing, 2 years 36 million dollar extension instead.
