Week 3 proved to be my week.
Now, ahead of Week 4 in the NFL, as always, we have a ton of live action to put our dollars behind. And I don’t blame you for being overwhelmed deciding what to bet on.
That’s where I come in.
Let’s see if we can go 3-0 for the second week in a row.
(All times ET)
Sunday, Sept. 29
Eagles @ Buccaneers (1 p.m., FOX and the FOX Sports App)
Last week we struck gold with the Eagles, who dominated the Saints and, despite Nick Siranni’s best efforts, got the cover on the road. But it was a costly win, as star tackle Lane Johnson was lost to a concussion, DeVonta Smith also left the game due to a concussion, and A.J. Brown missed the game due to a hamstring.
Why this is really important is that next week the Eagles have a bye. Would the Eagles really try to rush back any of that trio with the potential for an extra week of rest?
I’m on Tampa here, anticipating the Eagles won’t rush back anyone as this is a marathon, not a sprint. It’s less a bet on Tampa here, but more a fade of the Eagles.
The Bucs looked awful last week, which was predictable off the win against the Lions. Tampa has injury issues of its own — start with defensive linemen Calijah Kancey and Vita Vea — and there’s a world where Saquon Barkley rushes for 150 yards and the Eagles steal a road win.
But will they be able to get margin, or is this going to be a 13-12 Eagles win?
It is a revenge spot for Philly after the playoff humiliation. Also, keep an eye on tropical storm Helene, which could create a windy, sloppy field.
PICK: Buccaneers (+2.5) to lose by fewer than 2.5 points, or win outright
Rams @ Bears (1 p.m., FOX and the FOX Sports App)
The first bet I made this week was on the Bears at -2, and then -2.5. It got to Bears -3 on Wednesday and hasn’t really budged. At first glance, how can Chicago be favored over the Rams? L.A. just beat…
