In the Carolina Panthers’ first two games, rookie quarterback Cam Newton dominated but his team lost. Last week against Jacksonville, Newton came back to Earth but the Panthers won. Which version of Newton – and the Panthers – will we see when they visit Soldier Field and the Chicago Bears this week?
Rex Ryan helped create this Baltimore defense, but now he’s looking to help the Jets beat the Ravens. Last year it was the Ravens who came up with a 10-9 win at New York in the season opener. Both teams enter this game at 2-1 on the year, and both of them have high hopes for the season ahead.
The Chargers, who have a propensity for starting off every season slowly, have to be feeling pretty good that they are boasting a winning record as they head into a Week 4 AFC battle with the struggling Miami Dolphins.
The Steelers and the Texans both enter this week’s matchup at 2-1. Both of those teams have high hopes for this season. The Texans are looking to get over the hump and get into the playoffs.
When the New England Patriots fell short on the road against the Buffalo Bills last week in a loss that ended their 15-game winning streak over their AFC East rivals, there were more than a few heads that turned as a result of the final score.
Who would have ever guessed that the Buffalo Bills would start the season 3-0? In the early 1990’s this was a strong franchise, but for the last few years they have been bottom feeders. Chan Gailey is doing a great job of instilling confidence in this team.
The pickings don’t look very easy in week for of NFL betting, so here’s a bonus four-game set to choose from in case yesterday’s picks didn’t float your boat.
The New York Giants, coming off their most impressive performance in the young season travel east on Sunday to take on a Cardinals team that is coming off perhaps their worst performance of the year.
The St. Louis Rams will be looking for their first win of the season on Sunday when they take on a Washington Redskins team that fought hard but came out on the losing end on Monday night. While Washington continues to surprise in the NFC, St. Louis continues to disappoint.
The Seattle Seahawks have to be pleased to get their first win of the season out of the way. Now comes the real test – maintaining some improved play against an elite team that finds themselves at the bottom of their own division.
The San Francisco 49ers will look to make an early statement in the NFC West with a victory over the struggling Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. The kick-off in this one is slated for 1 p.m. (ET) and the game will be broadcast regionally on FOX.
The Detroit Lions will try and remain one of the few undefeated teams in the league when they square-off against the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday afternoon at Cowboy Stadium. Game time is set for 1 p.m. and it will be broadcast nationally on FOX.
The Denver Broncos are 1-2 but all of their games have been close, decided by three points or less. Last week they were winning late but Matt Hasselbeck was able to engineer a Titans TD drive in the closing minutes for Tennessee to steal the game.
Minnesota is the most surprising of the group of teams that is currently 0-3. Not because they are any good but because in all three of their games they held double digit leads only to give them up over the course of the second half and lose – most recently to Detroit in overtime.
Week 3 showed how dangerous the dreaded double-digit point spread can be, as I got burned by picking San Diego and Pittsburgh to cover huge numbers. I won’t make that same mistake this week.
It was a ‘Dog Day Afternoon’ last Sunday as 10 of 15 underdogs either covered the spread or won their game outright. Washington made it 11-of-16 for the week after covering the four-point spread against Dallas on Monday night.
