Week 3 Betting Odds And Advice

Six division games highlight the Week 3 NFL schedule including a Thursday night kickoff in Buffalo with the Bills the biggest favorite of the week over the dysfunctional Dolphins. The Bills are taking more money as big favorites with BetOnline reporting more than 60% ATS money on Buffalo to stampede their way to victory. I have an opinion on the over with more defensive injuries and suspect play on both teams.

Monday night's Lions-Ravens battle in Baltimore will draw more watch and wager action, along with game totals after a Week 2 explosion saw scoring hit more than 800 total points across 16 games average 50.4 points per game despite low-scoring Sunday night and Monday night contests less than 30 points each. Additional Week 2 stats of note in the Ringer roundup.

NFL Week 3 Tips, Totals and Teasers

Last week's totals were no good as scoring exploded to more than 50 points per game and especially strong in early Sunday starts (7-1 O/U, 64 ppg). But all 3 recommended teaser legs won, and we'll add more for Week 3. 

Green Bay at Cleveland - Under 41.5. 
The Packers (2-0) have held top 2024 offenses Lions and Commanders to just 246 and 230 yards and are +97 yards per game through two contests. But the Browns (0-2) have also been strong on defense allowing just 141 and 242 yards to division rivals Bengals and Ravens while actually out-yarding them by a combined +133. Misleading finals and results as Cleveland held the Ravens No. 1 rushing offense from last year to just 45 rushing yards on 21 attempts and 242 yards total offense last week in a 41-17 loss after holding the Bengals & QB Burrow to just 11 first downs and 2.9 yards per play overall in a 17-16 devastating defeat and give-away game. Quarterbacks Love and Flacco will be under more defensive pressure and the NFL weather showing near 50% chance of rain and thunderstorms Sunday suggests added issues for any offensive efficiency. The Suckers will line up on Green Bay, and tease them too. Not us in a game where yards are tough to come by and finally equate to less scoring. ATS note: Browns home games have gone 5-16-1 O/U last 22 including 2-14 O/U if game total is 38 points or higher. Pick: Under 

Dolphins-Bills: Opinion Over
Jets-Buccaneers: Opinion Under

Three key defensive line starters are out for the Bucs, and the Jets have three defenders questionable along with bro QB Justin Fields (concussion protocol), who was was mostly clueless last week (3/11 for 27 passing yards, 5 rush attempts, injured) following a strong Week 1 performance. Not much dropoff to another untrusting backup QB Tyrod Taylor, but running games will be featured by both teams with the Jets the most run-heavy team. Shorter passing plays too especially with favorable matchups for Jets RB Breece Hall. 

Teasers: Raiders, Bengals, Patriots, Seahawks, Bears
