Los Angeles Chargers touchdown favorites hosting Carolina Panthers in Week 3

Carolina Panthers are touchdown underdogs as they travel to SoFi Stadium to play the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3.

The Carolina Panthers (0-2) are on the west coast in Week 3 to the play the Los Angeles Chargers (1-1) in a 4:05 p.m. ET game at SoFi Stadium, Sunday. Below, we take a look at the early Week 3 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

Carolina had a difficult time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ defense in Week 2. QB Teddy Bridgewater threw zero TDs and committed three turnovers (Panthers had four total turnovers) and Christian McCaffrey only rushed 3.3 yards per carry in their 31-17 loss.

QB Justin Herbert was a surprise Week 2 replacement for QB Tyrod Taylor, who suffered a chest injury during pregame, in the Chargers’ 23-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The rookie passed for 300-plus yards, rushed for a TD, passed for a TD and got Los Angeles into overtime against the defending Super Bowl champs.

It’s unknown who will start under center for the Chargers but head coach Anthony Lynn maintained Taylor is the starter in the postgame press conference.

San Francisco 49ers road favorites vs. New York Giants in Week 3

The New York Giants are home underdogs in Week 3 as they host the San Francisco 49ers.

A banged-up San Francisco 49ers (1-1) team still opened as four-point favorites in Week 3 on the road against the New York Giants (0-2). Kick-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium. Lets look at the early Week 3 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

New York mounted a comeback against the Chicago Bears in Week 2 but came up short, 17-13. The Giants lost Pro Bowl RB Saquon Barkley in the first quarter in what’s feared to be a torn ACL and QB Daniel Jones’ turnover woes surfaced again, as he threw a pick and lost a fumble in Week 2.

San Francisco suffered even bigger losses, and on both sides of the ball, in its 31-13 Week 2 stomping of the New York Jets. QB Jimmy Garoppolo and RB Raheem Mostert went out for the offense, while DE Nick Bosa and DT Solomon Thomas also went down with injuries.
