NFL Week 3 Can’t-Miss Parlay: 3 bets you can count on

Assessing the NFL betting odds and lines for Week 3, with predictions and picks for the best parlay bet to make.

Week 3 offers some intriguing NFL matchups. The 2-0 Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit the 2-0 Los Angeles Rams, two AFC West young guns renew their rivalry as QBs Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs host Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers, and Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers will try to spoil the 2-0 San Francisco 49ers’ home opener on Sunday Night Football.

However, those high-profile games often don’t offer the best values on the NFL board. That in mind, here goes with our can’t-miss Week 3 parlay.

NFL can’t-miss parlay: Week 3

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 8 a.m. ET.

Leg 1: Chicago Bears at Cleveland Browns UNDER 44.5 (-112)

Points come out of the passing game in the NFL, and so this matchup of two top-10 rushing attacks butting heads against two top-10 rush defenses sets up nicely for a low-scoring scrum.

Throw in rookie Bears QB Justin Fields making his first pro start, that start coming on the road and a Browns’ aerial game featuring absent Jarvis Landry (injured reserve) and still-on-the-mend Odell Beckham Jr., and the UNDER 44.5 (-112) is the play.

Leg 2: Tennessee Titans -4.5 (-108) vs. Indianapolis Colts

The two teams that have been the class of the AFC South in recent seasons, and you’d figure they would have a recent history of close contests.

But that’s not the case.

Eight of the last 10 head-to-head meetings were decided by at least a touchdown with an average margin of victory of 12.9 points.
Given Indy QB Carson Wentz‘s injury issues and the worrisome depth behind him, Tennessee is the better (and healthier) team at this time.

So go ahead and lay the number here and bank on a comfortable TITANS -4.5 (-108) win at home.

Leg 3: Las Vegas Raiders ML (-180) vs. Miami Dolphins

Miami is another team with QB injury issues early in the season as starter Tua Tagovailoa is out with fractured ribs. Jacoby Brissett takes over, but he’s not quite at the level of Ryan Fitzpatrick who replaced a struggling Tua in Week 16 last season and led the Dolphins to a miraculous, 26-25 comeback win in Vegas.

This is a 2-0 Silver & Black squad, though, that looks to be more talented and focused than the collapsing version that finished 2020 on a 2-5 tumble.
The Miami pass defense is formidable, however, and the field-goal-plus-a-hook line is always daunting for the favorite in a tight matchup.

So, take the home team on the money line and cash in on some RAIDERS (-180) revenge Sunday afternoon in the desert.

Dolphins at Raiders odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Raiders 27, Dolphins 16

Money line

The RAIDERS (-190) are a little on the expensive side, but if you don’t want to worry about laying the points, it’s not terribly out of line.

Against the spread

The RAIDERS -3.5 (-108) are a good play laying the points, especially since the Dolphins +3.5 (-112) will be without Tua.

In addition, Vegas will be missing Jacobs, but RB Kenyan Drake is expected to start. He was unceremoniously dumped in Oct. 2019 in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals for a low-round pick by, you guessed it, the Dolphins. He should be running with a chip on his shoulder, trying to deal the organization a little payback.

While the Raiders are 0-4 ATS in the past four as a favorite, they are a much different team this season. Expect them to buck this trend.

Over/Under

The UNDER 43.5 (-105) is the lean, although it’s only worth a small-unit play. Brissett gets his first start under center, and while he’ll be better than last week when he was thrust into action, it will still be a work in progress.

And while the Raiders are No. 1 in total yards per game (458.0) and passing yards per outing (391.0), you can expect them to try and establish the run a little more at home. More runs equal more running clock, while Under bettors love.

Dolphins at Raiders: Game notes

The Dolphins defeated the New England Patriots 22-12 in Week 15 as 1.5-point home underdogs. Rookie QB Tua Tagovailoa, the fifth-overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, scored 2 rushing touchdowns (3 carries, 9 yards), while throwing for 145 yards with no TDs and 1 interception. Undrafted rookie RB Salvon Ahmed added 122 rushing yards and one score.
The Raiders lost to the visiting Los Angeles Chargers 30-27 in overtime in the Week 15 Thursday night game. Las Vegas, which was a 3.5-point favorite, lost QB Derek Carr in the first quarter to a groin injury. Backup QB Marcus Mariota entered and threw for 226 yards with 1 TD and 1 pick, while running for 88 yards and a score. Carr practiced this week and is expected to start vs. Miami.
The Dolphins, winners in three of their last four, currently are in the AFC’s final playoff spot, one game behind the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns and Indianapolis Colts, who are all 10-5. Miami and the Baltimore Ravens are both 9-5, but the Dolphins have the tiebreaker due to a better conference record, 6-4 to the Ravens’ 6-5.
Las Vegas has lost four of five and is two games back of the Dolphins and Ravens. The Raiders aren’t eliminated, but need to win out and need a lot of help to make the postseason.
The Dolphins are 6-1 in their last seven vs. the Raiders, including a 28-20 home win in the last meeting Sept. 23, 2018. The Raiders won 27-24 in 2017 to snap a 5-game skid in the series.

Betting stats:

ATS: Dolphins 11-3 | Raiders 7-7
O/U: Dolphins 5-9 | Raiders 10-3-1

Dolphins at Raiders: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Dolphins 33, Raiders 27

Money line (?)

PASS. I’m calling for a Dolphins win, but I’m willing to lay the points instead of risking the -155 juice on a Miami ML wager.

Against the spread (?)

MIAMI -3 (-105) is the play. They Dolphins will have their way against the Raiders’ woeful defense. Las Vegas allows 30.1 points per game (ranking 29th), 385.4 yards per game (25th), 259.6 passing YPG (26th) and 125.8 rushing YPG (25th).

Over/Under (?)

The OVER 47.5 (-115) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. Want more info on the Raiders’ woeful defense? It has allowed 180 total points in the last five games for an average of 36.0 PPG.
