[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

There were multiple unexpected upsets in Week 3. The Arizona Cardinals, Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts, all underdogs by at least a touchdown, beat their heavily favored opponents outright.

There were 5 outright underdog winners in Week 3. No others covered the spread without winning. Our 3 underdog picks were duds last week, bringing our running season record to 6-3.

CARDINALS +14 (-110) at 49ers – 4:25 p.m. (FOX)

The Cardinals pulled off 1 of the more unlikely upsets last week, beating the Dallas Cowboys 28-16 as 11-point underdogs. They have covered the spread in every game and held a halftime lead in all 3. They don’t fall far behind in games and have not turned the ball over in their last 2 games.

Is it likely they beat a very disciplined 49ers team? No, but 14 points is a lot to give to them after they did what they did to the Cowboys, scoring on 5 straight possessions against a team that had allowed only 10 points total previously.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

RAMS +1 (-115) at Colts – 1 p.m. (FOX)

OK, this is a case of why are the Colts favored? Yes, they beat the Ravens last week in overtime and the Rams lost to the Bengals Monday night, but QB Matthew Stafford has passed for more than 300 yards twice in 3 games.

Colts rookie QB Anthony Richardson should return to the lineup after missing a game and a half. The Colts won without him. Were it QB Gardner Minshew getting the start, I would like the Colts more.

SEAHAWKS -1 (-110)-* at Giants – Monday, 8:15 p.m. (ESPN, ABC)

*-The line has bounced back and forth. The Giants were favored Thursday morning, but now the Seahawks are a small favorite.

The Giants have played only 2 good quarters in 3 games, when they put up 31 points on the Cardinals in the 2nd half in Week 2. They had 171 yards in Week 1 and 150 in Week 3. They have allowed 32.7 points per game.

The Seahawks have put up 37 points in each of the last 2 weeks.

Others to consider

Buccaneers +3.5 (-115) at Saints is another solid choice because the Saints likely will be without QB Derek Carr, who injured his shoulder last week.

Packers (+115) over the Lions at home on Thursday night is also a fun choice because of the play of QB Jordan Love.

Best NFL underdog picks and predictions for Week 3

Analyzing NFL Week 3 betting odds and lines, with expert predictions and picks of the 3 best underdogs to cash in on.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Six moneyline underdogs won their games outright in Week 2. Eight underdogs covered the spread, while 2 other games ended in a push.

For the 2nd week in a row, our 3 underdog picks went 3-0. The Arizona Cardinals covered the 5.5-point spread in a 31-28 loss to the New York Giants. The Los Angeles Rams, thanks to a last-second field goal, covered the 8.5-point spread in a 30-23 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, while the Baltimore Ravens beat the Cincinnati Bengals outright. We are 6-0 on underdog picks through 2 weeks.

TITANS +3.5 (-120) at Browns – 1 p.m. (CBS)

The Browns lost RB Nick Chubb for the season and QB Deshaun Watson has not looked good thus far this season.

The Titans have played 2 close games, losing by 1 point and winning by 3. They have allowed an average of only 65 rushing yards per game. The Browns have averaged 202 yards rushing a game but without Chubb and facing a tough rushing defense, it will be hard to do much offensively.

With both teams relying on the run game and their defenses, expect this to be slow, low-scoring and close.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Eagles at BUCCANEERS +4.5 (-105) – Monday 7:15 p.m. (ABC)

The Bucs are a surprising 2-0 and are allowing only 54.0 rushing yards per game. Plus, Bucs QB Baker Mayfield has not thrown an interception yet.

The Eagles have relied on the run game (178.0 yards per game) as QB Jalen Hurts has not been as good in the pass game. The Eagles have allowed 24.0 points per game through 2 weeks.

Tampa’s defense should keep this game close.

RAMS (+125) at Bengals – Monday, 8:15 p.m. (ESPN)

QB Joe Burrow has not been good. He is averaging only 4.2 yards per passing attempt, having arguably the best trio of receivers in the league. He is also not 100%, dealing with a calf injury.

The Rams have been better than expected through 2 games. Even without WR Cooper Kupp, QB Matthew Stafford has over 300 passing yards in each game. Rookie WR Puka Nacua has 24 receptions for 266 yards in 2 games.

The Rams are No. 2 in the league in total offense. The Bengals are last.

Best NFL underdog picks and predictions for Week 2

Analyzing NFL Week 2 betting odds and lines, with expert predictions and picks of the 3 best underdogs to cash in on.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Week 1 of the NFL season usually brings surprises and last week was no different. Seven underdogs won their games outright and 9 covered the spread.

Our best underdog picks from last week went 3-0. The Detroit Lions not only covered the spread, they won outright. The Arizona Cardinals covered the 7-point spread against the Washington Commanders and the New York Jets, despite losing QB Aaron Rodgers for the season, beat the Buffalo Bills.

Let’s have similar success in Week 2.

CARDINALS +5.5 (-105) vs. Giants – 4:05 p.m. (FOX)

We go to the Cardinals well again after they proved to be a much tougher defensive team than expected. They did to Washington what the Cowboys did to the Giants.

The Giants turned the ball over 3 times and were sacked 7 times. The Cardinals forced 3 turnovers and had 6 sacks. It looks like New York will be without LT Andrew Thomas.

I actually really like the Cardinals to win this game outright at +200, but they were so bad offensively (210 total yards and 150 excluding 2 plays on their first drive of the game) that the Giants could capitalize and squeak out a 3-point win.

RAVENS +3.5 (-115) at Bengals – 1 p.m. (CBS)

Neither the Ravens nor the Bengals looked good in Week 1. However, Baltimore put up 25 points in a win over Houston.

The Bengals managed only 142 yards of offense in a 24-3 loss to Cleveland but it isn’t the offense that will be the reason for not covering the spread this week. They allowed Cleveland to rush for more than 200 yards.

Baltimore will be able to run the ball. The defense won’t have to shut down QB Joe Burrow like Cleveland did.

RAMS +8.5 (-115) vs. 49ers – 4:05 p.m. (FOX)

The Rams were one of the bigger surprises of Week 1, blowing out Seattle 30-13 on the road. QB Matthew Stafford had over 300 passing yards and 2 wideouts have over 100 yards, even with WR Cooper Kupp on injured reserve.

The 49ers looked dominant in their 30-7 win over Pittsburgh and have beaten the Rams in 8 straight regular-season contests, but the Rams held the Seahawks to only 85 rushing yards. Limiting RB Christian McCaffrey will keep this game close.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The 2023 NFL season kicks off Thursday with the 1st of 16 games for the opening week. It will begin a year of surprises and upsets each week.

In 2022, underdogs won 34.3% of the games outright but were not a profitable bet overall as the underdogs on moneyline bets had a net -8.8% ROI (return on investment). However, spread bets on the underdog last season had an ROI of +6.4%.

LIONS +4.5 (-110) at Chiefs — Thursday, 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC)

The Lions were involved in 8 games in the regular season a year ago that were decided by 4 or fewer points.

They are the favorite in the NFC North this season and face a Chiefs team, who despite being at home as the defending Super Bowl champions, will be without All-Pro DL Chris Jones, who is holding out in a contract dispute.

TE Travis Kelce, the Chiefs’ best pass catcher, is questionable with a bone bruise in his knee. While he probably plays, he won’t be 100%. I’m not quite confident enough in the +180 moneyline bet on the Lions, but they should at least keep this close down to the wire.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

CARDINALS +7 (-110) at Commanders — Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (FOX)

While the Cardinals are expected to be one of the worst teams in the NFL, the Commanders are projected to have the worst-scoring offense in the league.

The Cardinals starting defense, albeit in a handful of series in the preseason, did not allow any points. Their offense, with QB Josh Dobbs under center to start the year in place of an injured QB Kyler Murray, will likely be anemic but focused on ball control and running the football.

It will only be the 2nd NFL start for Commanders QB Sam Howell. Plus, they could be without WR Terry McLaurin, their best offensive player who has turf toe and is day to day, and DE Chase Young, their best pass rusher who has a neck injury.

This game has all the makings of a 17-13 or 16-10 stinker all over it.

Bills at JETS (+115) — Monday, 8:20 p.m. ET (ESPN)

The Jets open at home with QB Aaron Rodgers making his debut for Gang Green. In his many years with the Green Bay Packers, he was known for some Week 1 stinkers (23-7 loss to Minnesota Vikings in 2022, 38-3 loss to New Orleans Saints in 2021), but those were always on the road.

New York has an upgraded offense with Rodgers and RB Dalvin Cook and had the No. 4 scoring defense in the league. They beat the Bills at home last season.

We have reached the final week of the 2022 NFL season with games only on Saturday and Sunday in Week 18. In Week 17, only 4 underdogs won their games outright, but 8 dogs covered the spread.

Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s NFL odds and lines, and tab the best NFL Week 18 underdog bets to cash in on among SportbookWire’s NFL expert picks and predictions.

Of my 3 best underdog picks last week, 2 were correct. The Denver Broncos covered the spread against the Kansas City Chiefs and the Cleveland Browns beat the Washington Commanders outright. The Tennessee Titans did not cover against the Dallas Cowboys.

With last week, my picks are 24-27 on the season.

NEW YORK JETS (+115) at Miami Dolphins – 1 p.m. (FOX)

In a battle of 2 teams with 5-game losing streaks, I like the Jets. QB Mike White starts for the Jets, but the Dolphins aren’t sure who will start for them. QB Tua Tagovailoa is still recovering from a concussion and backup QB Teddy Bridgewater hurt his finger and couldn’t throw the ball to start the week.

The Dolphins have allowed 27.4 points per game in their losing streak. But that is paired with a Jets team that has averaged only 12 in their losing streak.

Something has to give and the New York defense will take advantage of the quarterback issues for Miami.

CLEVELAND BROWNS (+120) at Pittsburgh Steelers – 1 p.m. (CBS)

The Browns have won 4 of their last 6 games and the defense has allowed only 14.0 points per game in that stretch.

The Steelers only average 17.5 points per game. They have won 3 straight and 5 of 6 but are only averaging 18.3 points per game in that stretch.

The Browns can spoil the Steelers streak of consecutive seasons without a losing record.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS +4 (-109) Atlanta Falcons – 1 p.m. (FOX)

Tampa Bay coach Todd Bowles is not planning on resting his starters although they could get pulled early. They have the No. 4 seed locked up but need to play better before the playoffs start and likely don’t want to end the regular season with a losing record.

The Falcons have only 2 wins in their last 8 games and those 2 wins came against a 3-win Chicago Bears team and a 4-win Arizona Cardinals team. They beat the Cardinals 20-19 last week on a last-second field goal and have not won a game by more than 3 points since Week 6.

The Broncos will get new life with a coaching change, which almost always brings extra focus in their 1st game.

The Broncos lost to the Chiefs by only 6 points earlier this season and 3 of the last 4 games between the 2 teams have been decided by single digits.

The Chiefs covered the spread at home for the 1st time last week against the Seahawks.

The Titans have lost 5 games in a row and 2 have been by at least 14 points.

The Cowboys are 3-3 ATS on the road and the Titans are 3-4 ATS at home.

It’s just too many point to lay for the Cowboys.

Cincinnati Bengals at TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS +3.5 (-110) – 4:25 (CBS)

After Tampa escaped with a win over the Saints, they were completely dominated by the 49ers 35-7. It was never close. Of course, that was going against the league’s No. 1 defense.

Cincinnati’s defense is 11th in points allowed (20.4 ppg) and 14th in yards (331.1 ypg), and they are only 20th against the pass (220.1 ypg), so QB Tom Brady will be able to get things going.

Tampa’s pass defense is 6th in the league so the Bucs will make things difficult for Joe Burrow.

The Giants have not won in their last 4 games. Washington has not lost in its last 4.

The Giants are 9-4 ATS on the season.

As for my picks last week, they went 1-2. The Detroit Lions covered the half-point spread, but the Tennessee Titans did not and the Miami Dolphins did not win their game.

That brings my running total for the season to 18-21.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS +3.5 (-116) San Francisco 49ers – 4:25 p.m. (FOX)

The 49ers have the league’s No. 1 defense going against the league’s No. 26 scoring offense, as the Bucs average only 18.1 points per game.

The 49ers allow the fewest points (15.8) and the fewest yards (283.9) per game but they will now have Brock Purdy starting at quarterback in place of Jimmy Garoppolo.

The 49ers are 9-29 with anyone other than Garoppolo starting since Kyler Shanahan became head coach.

New England Patriots at ARIZONA CARDINALS +2.5 (-112) – Monday 8:15 p.m. (ESPN)

The Patriots have not won a game when their opponent has scored 20 points or more. They have allowed 8.7 points per game in their wins and 29.0 points per game in their losses.

The Cardinals’ offense looked good in their Week 12 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. If that carries over, they should be able to hit that 20-point mark.

In 4 of the Pats’ losses, they have allowed more than 130 rushing yards. Cardinals RB James Conner had 125 himself in the Cardinals’ loss to the Chargers.

The Cardinals are 3-1 when they rush for at least 130 yards as a team.

In Week 12, the underdog did not do well in terms of wins. In 16 NFL games played, only 5 underdogs on the moneyline won their games outright. However, there were 8 underdogs who covered the spread last week.

I went 1-2 on my underdog picks last week, making me 17-19 on the season. The Detroit Lions kicked off the week on Thanksgiving by covering the spread, but the Houston Texans did not cover and the Arizona Cardinals did not win outright, losing to the Los Angeles Chargers by 1 point.

TENNESSEE TITANS +5 (-112) at Philadelphia Eagles — 1 p.m. (FOX)

The Titans are 8-3 ATS and covered the spread in 8 straight games before losing 20-16 to the Cincinnati Bengals as 1-point underdogs.

The Eagles are only 6-5 ATS this season and have failed to cover the spread in 3 of their last 4 games.

Tennessee, because of their No. 8 scoring defense and their ability to run the ball with RB Derrick Henry, they can keep any game close.

Jacksonville Jaguars at DETROIT LIONS +0.5 (-107) – 1 p.m. (FOX)

The Lions have covered the spread in 5 straight games and in 7 of their last 10 contests.

The Jaguars are 4-5-1 ATS in their last 10 games but are 2-0-1 ATS in their last 3.

The Jaguars have only won 1 game on the road this season.

MIAMI DOLPHINS (+170) at San Francisco 49ers – 4:05 p.m. (FOX)

The 49ers have won 4 straight games, but the Dolphins have a 5-game winning streak of their own.

The 49ers have the league’s No. 1 total defense, but face a Miami offense that has scored 30 or more in 4 straight games.

Miami’s ability to put points on the board will challenge the 49ers, especially since San Francisco’s running game has taken a hit with RB Elijah Mitchell on injured reserve again and RB Christian McCaffrey dealing with a knee injury they have to manage.

If the Dolphins get a lead, the 49ers won’t be able to have the offensive balance that they need to win.
