Opening Line Report - Week 4
Joe Williams

After three weeks of NFL action, we have just three unbeaten teams remaining -- the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams and Miami Dolphins. In addition to being unbeaten straight-up, they're also 3-0 against the spread (ATS). Will that trend continue this week? So far the bet has been the Chiefs and the 'over', going 3-0 ATS and over the total. If you're been smashing those parlays so far, congrats. They'll put each of those streaks to the test on Monday night in the Mile High City against the rival Denver Broncos.

In addition, Week 4 features the first of the byes, as the Carolina Panthers and Washington Redskins get the first in-season rests.

Thursday, Sept. 27

Minnesota Vikings at Los Angeles Rams (-6.5, 49)

It's amazing how much of a difference one week makes. The Vikings were on fire, laying the most points of the 2018 season against the Buffalo Bills (-17) in Week 3. It appeared we were on pace for a potential playoff preview featuring a pair of 3-0 SU teams. A funny thing happened, however, as the Bills remembered how to play professional football -- and no one retired this week.

The Rams are favored by nearly a touchdown, but they have issues in the secondary. CB Aqib Talib might need corrective surgery for a high-ankle sprain, and CB Marcus Peters (calf) is also dinged up. The line opened at 6 1/2 at most shops, with Treasure Island opening this game at -6 before getting in line with everyone else. Westgate Superbook and William Hill opened at -7, but are also at 6 1/2 as of Tuesday morning.

Sunday, Sept. 30

Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots (-7, 47.5)

The Dolphins are unbeaten on the season and against the number, but they head to Foxboro as decisive underdogs with Vegas not respecting their three opening wins. That's probably because the Fins haven't won in Foxboro since Sept. 21, 2008, a span of nine seasons. New England is 7-2 ATS during the nine-game home win streak against their AFC East rivals.

Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts (-1, 47)

The Texans limp into Lucas Oil Stadium looking for their first victory of the season. They might still be searching for a win after the weekend, as they are just 2-7 SU/3-5-1 ATS in their past nine trips to Indianapolis. The total might also seem rather high considering the 'under' has connected in nine straight meetings in Indy.

Cincinnati Bengals at Atlanta Falcons (-6, 51)

The Bengals were aiming to go unbeaten through three, but they were unable to break the bank in Charlotte against the Panthers. If you're feeling the Falcons, Mirage-MGM opened the line at -5 1/2, and still had it there as of Tuesday morning. Where there has been movement is on the total, opening at MGM at 50 1/2, bumping up to 51 1/2 in just a few hours.

Buffalo Bills at Green Bay Packers (-10, 45.5)

The Bills changed the course of their season with a stunning upset win in Minnesota last week, and now they're look to win as a double-digit 'dog for the second straight week. All Vegas books have the Packers at 10 or higher, but you can still get in on the Pack at -9 1/2 at Treasure Island. There might be some doubt about the Packers, though, as QB Aaron Rodgers were limping noticeably in last week's loss in D.C. and bettors might be just one hit away from QB DeShone Kizer time.

Detroit Lions at Dallas Cowboys (-3, 43.5)

The Lions gained the first win for new head coach Matt Patricia, dropping mentor Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots on Sunday night. The line is a field goal across the board all except Westgate has the 'Boys at -3.5, while Treasure Island has the home team at just - 2 1/2 as of Tuesday AM.

New York Jets at Jacksonville Jaguars (-7.5, 38)

One week the Jags looked like a Super Bowl contender, then a 9-6 loss against the Tennessee Titans and their backup quarterback makes you wonder about their staying power. Vegas feels confident they'll rebound, especially against a team which lost to the lowly Cleveland Browns, ending their 18-game losing skid.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Chicago Bears (-2.5, 48)

'Fitz-magic' ran out on Monday night against the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers and now we get a chance to see how they rebound against the Bears D. There are some questions about the QB here, as Jameis Winston is eligible to return from a three-game suspension. Of course, QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has thrown for 400 or more yards in three straight -- becoming the first-ever QB to accomplish the feat in NFL history. Surely there won't be a change, right?

Philadelphia Eagles (-3.5, 41.5) at Tennessee Titans

The defending champs got their QB Carson Wentz back last week after a torn ACL last November shelved him until last Sunday. Philly won, but they failed to cover against an AFC South team, the Indianapolis Colts. The Titans grinded out a 9-6 win in 'Sacksonville', but they also have some QB questions with Blaine Gabbert in the concussion protocol and Marcus Mariota thrust into action despite an elbow issue.

Seattle Seahawks (-3, 38.5) at Arizona Cardinals

The Seahawks and Cardinals love to win on each other's field. The visiting team is 8-1-1 SU over the past 10 meetings in this series, and the Cardinals are 0-4-1 SU/ATS in their past five home games against the 'Hawks. The 'under' is also 3-0 in the past three meetings in this series. That's likely why everyone book has Seattle laying a field goal, with the line opening at -3 1/2 at Mirage-MGM.

Cleveland Browns at Oakland Raiders (-2.5, 45)

The Browns got off the schneid last week with a win over the Jets, while the Raiders are still searching for their first win in the second installment of Chucky-mania. The books aren't buying into the late-game heroics of rookie QB Baker Mayfield last week, favoring the winless Raiders at home.

Bettors love the Raiders, particularly at Westgate and William Hill. The Browns opened as a pick 'em at Westgate, but bettors pushed the Raiders all the way up - 2 1/2 before leveling off with some money coming in on Cleveland to knock it down to two. William Hill opened at -1 in favor of Oakland, and it's up to -2 1/2 as of Tuesday morning. If you're feeling Mayfield and the second-place Browns, check out the offshore books, where BetOnline.ag has the Browns catching three points.

San Francisco 49ers at Los Angeles Chargers (-10.5, 47.5)

The 49ers are reeling after losing QB Jimmy Garoppolo to a torn ACL, and the road team is a double-digit favorite across the board. With offensive issues, the total might be a bit high, but it is holding steady at 47 1/2 at the Golden Nugget and the Wynn.

New Orleans Saints (-3.5, 50) at New York Giants

The Saints rolled up 40-plus points for the second time in three games with a win at Atlanta last week. However, they will be heading outside into the elements for the first time in 2018, while the Giants are trying to follow up a win for the first time in 2018. The early money is on the Saints, with the line opening at -3 and bumping to -3 1/2 at Peppermill, Stratosphere and Southpoint, as well as Westgate.

Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers (-3, 48.5)

The Steelers picked up their first win of the season in Tampa, and face a quick turnaround with their rival Ravens visiting the Steel City on Sunday night. The home team is 8-2 SU over the past 10 home games, but the Steelers are 0-2-1 ATS over their past thre at home against Baltimore. The 'over' is 3-1 in the past four meetings in Heinz Field, and that might be an attractive play considering the Steelers defense cannot seem to stop anyone. The 'over' is 3-0 for Pittsburgh so far, averaging 29.3 PPG on offense while allowing 30.0 PPG on defense.

Monday, Oct. 1

Kansas City Chiefs (-4.5, 55.5) at Denver Broncos

The juggernaut Chiefs have been on fire, scoring at least 38 points in each of their three games. They say defense wins championships, and that's an area K.C. will need to work on if they want to be title contenders. The Chiefs have allowed at least 27 points in each game this season, allowing an average of 30.7 PPG. The Golden Nugget and Stations are particularly high on the Chiefs, opening them at -5.

Bookmakers expect NFL bettors to jump on red-hot Rams' odds after Vikings' Week 3 implosion
Patrick Everson

Kirk Cousins and Minnesota stunningly lost to Buffalo in Week 3, and though early Week 4 action favored the visiting Vikings vs. the Rams, the Superbook expects L.A. money to show up strong.

Week 4 of the NFL season opens with a team coming off a monster upset loss against an unbeaten unit averaging 34 points per game. We check in on the opening lines and early action for four matchups, with insights from John Murray, sportsbook manager for the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook.

Minnesota Vikings at Los Angeles Rams (-7)

Minnesota went into its Week 3 home tilt as a 16.5-point favorite against seemingly hapless Buffalo. But things didn’t go quite as planned, as the Vikings (1-1-1 SU, 1-2 ATS) trailed 27-0 at halftime and ended up losing 27-6. Now, the Vikes have a short turnaround on the road, playing the Thursday nighter.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles kept piling up points at a consistent rate in Week 3. After totaling 33 and 34 points in Weeks 1 and 2, respectively, the Rams (3-0 SU and ATS) bested the Los Angeles Chargers 35-23 as a 7.5-point chalk.

“We opened this game Rams -7, a 2 point move from our lookahead line (last week) of Rams -5,” Murray said. “We took a bet right away on the Vikings +7 and went to 6.5. But I’m pretty sure we will need the Vikings big on Thursday. Minnesota looks like it was caught looking ahead in a terrible loss at home to the Bills.

“The Rams are definitely the public team right now. They’re scoring points and covering spreads. The public loves them.”

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Chicago Bears (-1.5)

Tampa Bay and Ryan Fitzmagic, er, Fitzpatrick are the talk of the league, but they’ve still got some Week 3 work to do, hosting Pittsburgh in a Monday night affair. The Buccaneers (2-0 SU and ATS) shocked New Orleans in Week 1 as a 10-point road pup, then beat defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia 27-21 catching 3 points at home in Week 2.

After a tough Week 1 loss at Green Bay, Chicago bounced back with a pair of victories. The Bears (2-1 SU and ATS) rallied from a 14-0 first-quarter deficit to grab a 16-14 victory over Arizona as 5.5-point road faves in Week 3.

“We opened the Bears -1.5, took a couple bets on them and moved it to -2,” Murray said. “Chicago struggled offensively against Arizona, but the public believes in its defense, and I can see why. This number could change depending on the ‘Monday Night Football’ game between the Steelers and Bucs.”

Later Sunday, the line ticked up another notch to Chicago -2.5.

Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos (+4.5)

Kansas City quarterback Pat Mahomes is another big developing story this season, with 13 touchdown passes and no interceptions through three weeks. In Week 3 against San Francisco, Mahomes had three TDs as the Chiefs (3-0 SU and ATS) built a 35-7 lead and cruised to a 38-27 win laying 5.5 points at home.

Denver played its first two games in the friendly confines of the Mile High City and won both. Week 3 on the road wasn’t nearly as kind, with the Broncos (2-1 SU, 0-2-1 ATS) tumbling to Baltimore 27-14 getting 5.5 points.

“We opened the Chiefs -4.5 and took a bet on the Broncos, but left it,” Murray said, though later Sunday, the line did tick down to 4. “We will need the Broncos in this game. The public loves the Chiefs for all the same reasons I said they love the Rams. I can see why. Mahomes looks unbelievable right now. I’m confident books all over Nevada will have big liabilities on the Chiefs next Monday night.”

Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots (-9.5)

Perennial Super Bowl contender New England is off to a shaky start this season. After getting dominated at Jacksonville in Week 2, the Patriots couldn’t build any momentum at Detroit, losing 23-10 as a 7-point fave.

With the Pats out of the gate slowly, Miami finds itself atop the AFC East. The Dolphins (3-0 SU and ATS) dropped Oakland 28-20 laying 3 points at home, but this Week 4 road trip will easily be their sternest test so far.

“We opened the Patriots -9.5, despite the Dolphins getting off to an impressive 3-0 start,” Murray said. “I’ve been impressed with the Dolphins and consider New England to be a little on the overrated side right now, but we know where the money will come in on this game. The Patriots will be included in every moneyline parlay and teaser next week.”

The Superbook moved down a tick to 9 just before the Patriots kicked off at Detroit, and then took the game off the board, which is standard operating procedure when a team is playing in the Sunday nighter. The matchup will be reposted on Monday morning.

Miami Nice

-- The Miami Dolphins have fired out to a 3-0 SU/ATS record after topping the Oakland Raiders by a 28-20 score. The Dolphins have been particularly solid at home, averaging 27.5 points per game (PPG) while allowing 20.0 PPG, and the 'over' has connected in each of their two at Hard Rock Stadium. The Dolphins hold a two-game lead on everyone in the AFC East Division through three weeks and they can take a commanding lead with a win in Week 4 on the road against the New England Patriots, who limp home from the Motor City on a two-game losing streak.

Shuffled Back To Buffalo

-- The Buffalo Bills had been atrocious through the first two weeks, and they entered Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings as a 17-point underdog. Those playing survivor pools were certainly not pleased with the result, and any chalk eaters brave enough to lay the points knew they had a losing ticket early on. The Bills had allowed 39.0 PPG through their first two games, so no one could have seen their stark turnaround coming against a team expected to contend for the Super Bowl. Their beleaguered defense stepped up and held the Vikings to just six points while scoring a season-high 27 points. They had managed a total of 23 points over their first two contests.

Total Recall

-- The five lowest totals on the board all cashed the 'under' this week, as defense reigned surpreme. The lowest total, Chicago-Arizona (39), ended up with a total of just 30 points. The Cardinals fired out of the box with 14 points in the first quarter, but put up goose eggs in their final three quarters. The Tennessee-Jacksonville (39.5) contest was expected to be a defensive battle, but the Titans and Jags took it to the extreme. QB Blaine Gabbert exacted revenge against his former team in a 9-6 slugfest, the lowest-scoring game of the season in the NFL so far. Dallas-Seattle (40), Buffalo-Minnesota (41) and N.Y. Jets-Cleveland (41) each ended up going well under.

-- The highest total on the board in Week 3 was the Sunday Night Football game which was expected to be a shootout, but it never came into fruition. New England-Detroit (55.5) ended up not even coming close to the set total, as the Lions limited the Patriots in a 26-10 victor. The same couldn't said for the other two 50-plus games on the board, as New Orleans-Atlanta (54) and San Francisco-Kansas City (53.5) were both slam-dunk 'over' plays.

-- The 'over' has cashed in all three games for the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals, Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers are the only three teams in the AFC with a 3-0 'over' mark so far. In the AFC South, the 'under' is 2-1 in for all four teams. In the NFC, the only team to hit the over in each of their three games is the Green Bay Packers. Meanwhile, the under is 3-0 for the Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys.

-- There are two primetime games in the books so far in Week 3, with the under cashing in both. Overall for the 2018 season the 'over' in primetime games is 3-6 (33.3%).

Officially, the 'over' finished 25-23-1 (52.1%) in 49 games under the lights in 2017.

In 2016, the 'over' in night games went (52.9%) through 51 games.

In 2015, the over finished 20-28-1 (41.7%) in 49 primetime games.

In 2014, the over went 33-17 (66.0%) in primetime games, and the over was 28-22 (56.0%) in 2013.

Injury Report

-- Bengals WR A.J. Green (groin) left Sunday's game at Carolina due to a groin injury, but he feels he'll be ready for Week 4.

-- 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) is believed to have suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament on a non-contact situation in Kansas City late in the game.

-- Giants TE Evan Engram (knee) was knocked out of the Week 3 victory in Houston due to a knee injury and he was unable to return.

-- Patriots RB Rex Burkhead (neck) suffered a neck injury in the third quarter of the game in Detroit and he was unable to return.

-- Titans QB Blaine Gabbert (concussion) started against his former team, but he was knocked out, forcing QB Marcus Mariota (elbow) into action.

Looking Ahead

-- The winless Texans will head to Indianapolis to battle the Colts in Week 4. Over the years it hasn't been a great place for Houston to visit, as they're 2-7 SU in their past 10 visits while going 3-5-1 ATS. The 'under' has also cashed in each of the past nine meetings in Indianapolis.

-- The Patriots host the Dolphins on Sunday. Miami hasn't won in Foxboro since Sept. 21, 2008, losing nine straight trips. The Patriots are 7-2 ATS during the nine-game home win streak against the Dolphins, including covers in each of the past six meetings in New England. The 'over' is 3-1 in the past four meetings in Foxboro, too.
-- The Cardinals and Seahawks meet in Arizona, and the home team has really struggled in this series. Arizona is 0-4-1 SU/ATS across their past five home games against Seattle with the 'under' cashing in each of the past three meetings in the desert. In this series, the home team is just 1-8-1 SU across the past 10 meetings.

-- The Steelers will host the Ravens in Week 4, and there has been a huge home-field advantage in this series. The home team has won eight of the past 10 meetings in this series, although Pittsburgh is 0-2-1 ATS in the past three at Heinz Field. The 'over' has also cashed in three of the past four meetings at Heinz Field.

Hot & Not Report

Week of September 24th

Another week of football action in college and the pros is in the books and it was an interesting weekend to say the least. NFL survivor pools across the nation have taken more casualties through three weeks than I can ever remember in recent years, as the Minnesota Vikings were the latest team to be apart of the blood bath with their outright home loss as nearly 17-point favorites vs Buffalo – a game Minnesota was never even close to being in the entire way.

Also, in reference to last week's piece, the 'unders' involving NFC East teams continued to stay on course with a 2-2 O/U record in Week 3. The Dallas Cowboys remain one of two teams left in the entire NFL (Arizona being the other) that have yet to cash an 'over' ticket this year, and with scoring definitely up through three weeks this year across the board, I'm not sure how long that will last.

Conversely, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs managed to stick their middle fingers up at being a part of the “Fade 40 club” with yet another impressive offensive performance to stay 3-0 SU and ATS. After putting up 35 points in the first half, it looked as though KC didn't want to tempt the “Fade 40 club” again this week as they only put up three points in the 2nd half to finish with 38 points. It's the New Orleans Saints turn in Week 4 to deal with that dilemma.

Speaking of Week 4 in the NFL, we've now basically hit the quarter-pole of the campaign and it's a method a lot of NFL coaches like to use to break down the 16-game season. Handicapping can become a little more fluid now too with identities of these squads continually being revealed more and more, and that means more situational angles can get into play.

Let's take a look at a few of them for this week:

Who's Hot

'Overs' for NFL teams off a TNF home game – 2-0 O/U in 2018, 22-11 O/U since start of 2016

A common angle many bettors love to mention each week in the NFL is to back those teams off a Thursday Night football game because they've just had what amounts to a “mini-bye”. Rest is key in the NFL and for those teams who had to deal with an extremely short week, reaping the rewards the following week has to be the goal. But what appears to be the better angle here is to take those TNF teams who were at home and play the total 'over' the number the next week.

We've already seen this angle go 2-0 O/U this season with Philly (home on TNF in Week 1) cash an 'over' ticket in Week 2, and this past week it worked again with the Cincinnati Bengals sailing 'over' the number in their game against Carolina. Whether it's because these TNF home teams get the added benefit of not having to travel on that short week – to or from that TNF game – or it's a simple case of extra rest, prep time, and film scouting – including scouting their next opponent live on Sunday/Monday prior to facing them - we will probably never know. But this trend can't be ignored at this point because it's not like it hasn't been consistent either. Last year saw this scenario go 9-5 O/U and 2016 finished with an 11-5 O/U mark.

Side note for those of that are wondering, those numbers do not include the Thanksgiving afternoon games in Detroit and Dallas every year, but those specific teams went 2-0 O/U in 2017 and 0-2 O/U in 2016 following those Thanksgiving contests.

This means that Browns fans – if they've stopped drinking in celebration from Cleveland's TNF win in Week 3 – better be prepared for some more great play from Baker Mayfield in Oakland for Week 4. It's the Cleveland/Oakland game that fits this scenario in Week 4 and wouldn't you know it we've already seen the opener of 44.5 be pushed up to 45 as of this writing.

Who's Not

2017 One-Year Wonder QB's Case Keenum, Deshaun Watson, and Jimmy Garoppolo winless ATS in 2018

There are only three NFL teams that remain winless against the spread through three games in 2018 (Pittsburgh could be the 4th after MNF tonight) and they would be the Denver Broncos (0-2-1 ATS), Houston Texans (0-3 ATS) and San Francisco 49ers (0-3 ATS). Those numbers are a complete about face for those respective QB's as Denver's Case Keenum, Houston's Deshaun Watson, and San Francisco's Jimmy Garoppolo were ATS darlings when they were on the field just a season ago.

Garoppolo's record likely isn't going to get any better as he's feared to be lost for the season with a knee injury which is a shame, but should we be fading these guys/teams in the immediate future?

Regarding Keenum, he parlayed a great season as the replacement in Minnesota last year into a big contract and starting role in Denver, but through three games he has looked like the journeyman backup he was his entire career prior to 2017. There may still be time to give him another week or two given he is with a new team, but the leash can't be that long anymore for Keenum in Denver. The Broncos and Keenum are home dogs against the high-powered Chiefs on MNF in Week 4 which is an interesting spot to say the least in terms of how much trust you want to have in Keenum and the Broncos.

Over in Houston, HC Bill O'Brien appears to be taking ALL the heat for the Texans 0-3 SU and ATS start simply because NFL fans saw how Deshaun Watson torched opposing defenses in his handful of games a year ago before getting hurt. But I believe Watson has to share nearly equal blame in this rough start (if he wasn't off an ACL it would be 50/50), because it's not like O'Brien wasn't the head guy last year during that great run by Houston and those same NFL fans were heaping praise on him for the move. Maybe the Texans (and Watson) are being overly cautious with his return, but the Texans offense just eclipsed 20 points for the first time in 2018 in Week 3 and it was only because they got a garbage time TD to do so.

It may be time for bettors to start really considering that maybe Watson wasn't all he was cracked up to be during that great run in 2017 and understand that the same issue that has plagued Houston since their existence – a lack of a quality QB – is still the issue in 2018. Three games off an ACL I'm willing to give Watson the benefit of the doubt, but a poor showing by this Texans offense as road dogs in Indy this week may be the end of the line for O'Brien in Houston, or maybe even Watson as the starter of this team for a week or two.

NFL
Armadillo's Write-Up

Week 4

Thursday
Vikings (1-1-1) @ Rams (3-0)— Minnesota threw 55 passes, ran ball only six times in 27-6 home loss to Buffalo LW, NFL’s biggest upset since ’95. Rams lost both starting CB’s LW; Talib is out here, Peters may play. LA won its first three games, by 20-34-12 points, scoring 34 ppg (8 TD’s on 18 drives in two home wins); under McVay, they’re 5-3 vs spread as home favorites. Under Zimmer, Vikings are 12-7 as road underdogs (2-4 last 2+ years); they’ve got no takeaways in last couple games (-4 TO’s). Minnesota won last five series games, including 24-7 (-2) home win LY; Vikings won last three road series games, but last visit to St Louis was in ‘14. Rams converted 16 of 26 on third down last two weeks; they’ve outscored opponents 52-10 in second half.

Sunday
Dolphins (3-0) @ Patriots (1-2)— Miami’s fast start makes this a more important game than it usually is, seeing how Patriots lost last two games, outscored 57-30 (34-6 in 1st half). NE lacks outside threat at WR, so Gronkowski is always doubled; Pats are 10-35 on 3rd down this year. NE is 22-12-3 in last 37 games as home favorites, 24-11 vs spread coming off a loss. Miami scored seven TD’s on 21 drives in last two games; they had three TD plays of 34+ yards LW in comeback win over Raiders. Dolphins are +4 in turnovers but only 10-41 on 3rd down; since ’14, they’re 10-16 as road underdogs. Home side won 10 of last 11 series games; Dolphins lost last nine visits here, with five of last six losses here by 10+ points.

Texans (0-3) @ Colts (1-2)— Third road game in four weeks for 0-3 Houston that has losses by 7-3-5 points; they were outscored 55-19 in first half of games. Texans won field position in all three games, but have no takeaways in last two, and scored only 43 points in 11 visits to red zone this year- they’re 10-16 vs spread in last 26 road games. Colts were outgained 379-209 in 20-16 loss at Philly LW; they’ve had only seven plays of 20+ yards this month, have yet to average more than 5.5 yds/pass attempt in any game. Indy is 8-3 in last 11 series games; they beat Houston 20-14/22-13 LY, but Texans did win two of last three visits here. Last 2+ years, Colts are 14-7 vs spread when coming off a loss.

Bengals (2-1) @ Falcons (1-2)— Atlanta’s defense fell apart at end of game LW; on Saints’ last four drives, they gave up 247 yards on 38 plays, four TD’s in an OT loss. Cincy scored 89 points in its 2-1 start, scoring 6.5 pts/red zone drive- they lost at Carolina last week because Dalton threw four picks. Atlanta gained 442/407 yards last two games; under Quinn, they’re 9-14 as home favorites (6-4 in last 10). Bengals are 3-8-1 vs spread in last dozen games as road dogs; since 2013, Cincy is 18-12-1 coming off a loss. Falcons won three of last four series games; Cincy lost their last three visits here- their last win in Atlanta was in ’87. Under is 7-6 in dome games so far this year; from 2013-17, over was 59% in games played in domes.

Bills (1-2) @ Packers (1-1-1)— Over last decade, Buffalo is 22-38-3 vs spread coming off a win; LW they pulled NFL’s biggest upset in 23 years. Third road game in four weeks for Bills; under McDermott, they’re 4-4 as road underdogs. Buffalo’s TY in three games: 153-293-292; they won LW because they won field position by 22 yards, a huge margin. Green Bay is 26th in NFL in red zone scoring; hey averaged 5.5/4.9 yds/pass attempt last two games- Rodgers’ gimpy knee prevents him from scrambling as much as normal. Since ’14, Packers are 17-9-2 as home favorites, but only 1-4 in last five games when laying double digits. Home side won last seven series games; Bills lost last three visits here, by 10-10-27 points.

Lions (1-2) @ Cowboys (1-2)— Short week for Lions after they upset Patriots Monday (TY was 414-209 Det, so maybe not a big upset). Detroit QB Stafford is from Dallas area, this is a homecoming here; Cowboys are 7-3 in last ten series games, winning last two, 24-20, 42-21. Lions lost three of last four visits here, with losses by 16-4-21 points. Since ’13, Detroit is 16-22-3 vs spread coming off a win- they’re 12-19 in last 31 games as road underdogs. Dallas offense is struggling; they’re last in NFL with only four plays of 20+ yards. Cowboys are 7-5 in last 12 games as home favorites; they’re 11-4-2 in last 17 games where spread was 3 or less points. All three Dallas games this season stayed under the total.

Jets (1-2) @ Jaguars (2-1)— Rookie QBs generally struggle on road; this is third game in four weeks for Jets squad that is near bottom of NFL in red zone scoring, and scoring on drives starting 75+ yards from EZ. Under Bowles, Gang Green is 5-8-3 as road underdogs, 12-13-2 coming off a loss. Jaguars didn’t score TD in home loss to Titans LW; Jax gained only 166 yards. Under Marrone, Jags are 4-5 as home favorites, 10-7 coming off a loss. Jets won last four series games, including 23-20 (OT) home win LY; this is their first visit here since 2012. NFL-wide, home favorites in non-divisional games are 12-8-1 vs spread so far this season. Jets had three extra days to prep here, after playing on Thursday LW.

Buccaneers (2-1) @ Bears (2-1)— Short week for Bucs after Monday nite loss; they won/covered their pre-bye game last three years. Fitzpatrick is first QB EVER to throw for 400+ yards three games in row; Tampa Bay is 8-5-1 as road dogs under Koetter, but they’re also 6-11-1 coming off a loss. Chicago was down 14-0 early in desert LW, rallied to beat woeful Cardinals; over last 10+ years, Bears are awful 16-26-3 as home favorites, but 1-0 this year- they held last two opponents to 276-221 total yards. Still don’t trust young QB Trubisky; Bears have only six plays of 20+ yards, but they’re +3 in turnovers- Chicago’s defense is sturdy. Bucs won last two series games, 36-10/29-7; teams split last four meetings here, with Tampa’s last visit here in ’14.

Eagles (2-1) @ Titans (2-1)— Tennessee won divisional games last two weeks despite gaining only 283/233 yards; they’ve got QB injury issues. Titans threw for only 83 yards in ugly 9-6 win LW when neither team scored a TD- they’ve got only five plays of 20+ yards this year. Tennessee is 3-2 in last five games as home underdogs. Philly allowed only 61.7 rushing yards/game; they gave up 393 PY in only loss, at Tampa- not likely Titans can throw for 300+. Eagles outgained Indy 379-209 in Wentz’ first game back from injury; under Pederson, Philly is 2-5 as a road favorite. Titans won four of last five series games, winning last two played here, 27-24/37-19. NFL-wide, home underdogs are 5-3 vs spread in non-divisional games.

Seahawks (1-2) @ Cardinals (0-3)— Home side is 0-6-1 in last seven series games; Seattle is 4-0-1 in last five visits here, with three of four wins by 12+ points. Rookie QB Rosen gets first NFL start here; he saw his first game action LW, in last two series vs Chicago, and threw two INT’s. In its first three games, Arizona gained 213-137-221 yards; they have zero red zone snaps last two games, so playing a rookie can’t be too much worse. Since ’12, Arizona is 11-6-1 as home underdogs. Seattle got its first win LW; Seahawks were +3 in turnovers- under Carroll, they’re 14-16-1 as road favorites- Wilson has been sacked 14 times already this year. So far this month, home underdogs are 4-0 vs spread in divisional games.

Browns (1-2) @ Raiders (0-3)— Oakland is 0-3 despite leading all three games at half; they’re oldest team in NFL and so far they look it, outscored 64-17 in 2nd half. This is first game they’re favored to win; over last decade, Raiders are 12-19 laying points at home. Raiders have 16 plays of 20+ yards, which is a lot, but they’ve allowed 17. Mayfield got win off bench in his NFL debut LW; this is his first NFL start. Browns’ defense held Saints to 275 yards in Superdome two weeks ago; they’re a good defense. Cleveland is 9-16 in last 25 games as road underdogs. NFC North teams are 6-2 vs spread outside division this month; AFC West teams are 4-3-1. Cleveland is 6-4 in this series, splitting six games here; teams haven’t met since ’15.

49ers (1-2) @ Chargers (1-2)— Beathard was 1-4 as 49ers’ starter LY, gets first ’18 start here vs team his grandfather Bobby was GM of from 1990-2000. Would expect Niners to try and run ball more to protect young QB; they ran ball for 190-178 yards in last two games. SF lost both road games this month, by 8-11 points. Over last decade, 49ers are 4-7 as double digit dogs. Chargers gave up 521 yards in 35-23 loss to Rams LW; since ’09, Bolts are 2-7 vs spread when laying double digits. LA is 9-14 vs spread in last 23 games as home favorites; they’ve allowed 17 plays of 20+ yards, T3rd most in NFL. Chargers won last four series games, with two of those wins in OT. All three Charger games this season have gone over total.

Saints (2-1) @ Giants (1-2)— Home side won 10 of last 11 series games, with average total in last five, 71.4; Saints lost six of last seven series games played here, losing last two 52-27/16-13- their last win here vs Giants was in ’06. Payton was once fired as OC of the Giants; don’t forget that Eli is from New Orleans. Saints scored 104 points in first three games, but all three were inside; this is 4:25 kickoff outdoors, which means end of game will be played at night. NO covered four of last five tries as road favorites. Giants allowed 20+ points in all three games; they’re 7-5 in last dozen games as home underdogs. Manning has been sacked 12 times already; Beckham has caught 24 balls for 271 yards, but no TD’s yet. Saints’ secondary is vulnerable.

Ravens (2-1) @ Steelers (1-1-1)— Home side is 8-3 in last 11 series games; Ravens lost four of last five visits here, losing last two 31-27/39-38. Short week for Steelers after 30-27 win in Tampa Monday; they had four takeaways in first half, got blanked in second but held on for win. Totals in Pitt games this season: 42-79-57, as Steelers haven’t filled big hole left by injury to LB Shazier LY. Home side won/covered all three Raven games this season; they’re 8-7-1 in last 16 games as a road underdog, 7-2-1 vs spread in last AFC North road games. Baltimore has 12 TD’s in 12 trips to red zone this year (missed one PAT). Steelers are 3-5 in last eight games as home favorites; they’re 3-5-1 vs spread in last nine NFC North home games.

Monday
Chiefs (3-0) @ Broncos (2-1)— Mahomes has 13 TD passes in three games, averaging 9.6 yds/pass attempt; KC scored 38-42-38 points in winning/covering all three games, which all went over. Chiefs allowed 418/442 PY in their two road games; under Reid, they’re 8-5 as road faves. Denver won both its home games by total of four points; they’ve been bad in red zone, scoring only 3.88 pts/drive- hard to beat prolific Chiefs kicking FG’s. Broncos covered five of last seven tries as home underdogs. Chiefs won last five series games, winning last three visits to Mile High City, by 16-3-3 points. Denver does have 18 plays of 20+ yards and Chiefs have given up 20, so if weather cooperates, this could be an entertaining Monday night shootout.

GAROPPOLO DONE FOR 2018

The 49ers received the devastating news they were expecting on Monday as it was confirmed that Jimmy Garoppolo is done for the season with a torn ACL. San Francisco now turns to second-year man C.J. Beathard, who played in six games (started five) as a rookie before Jimmy G came over from the Patriots.

The 49ers take to the road again in Week 4 to face the L.A. Chargers and a defense that was sliced for 354 passing yards and three touchdowns by Jared Goff last week and is giving up 271.7 passing yards per game. Beathard probably won’t get much respect throughout the week but he proved last year that he’s a serviceable QB, especially in Shanahan’s system as he threw for 230-plus yards in four of the six games he played in last season. The two games that he didn’t break 230 were against tough defenses in Philadelphia and Seattle.

Niners coach Kyle Shanahan is one of the best offensive game planners in the league and he’ll dial up a scheme that suits Beathard. We’re going to monitor Beathard’s passing yards total when the market opens later in the week and we’ll be taking the Over if the total is around 230-240.

BROWNS MAKE MAYFIELD OFFICIAL

The Cleveland Browns surprised no one on Monday when they named Baker Mayfield the starting quarterback against Oakland in Week 4. Mayfield, of course, came on in relief of a concussed Tyrod Taylor in Week 3 and led the Browns to their first win in 635 days. Obviously, the No. 1 overall pick was going to start this week.

We mentioned above that C.J. Beathard won’t get much hype this week but it’s going to be the exact opposite for Mayfield. Again, bettors will have to monitor the passing yards total when the number comes out later in the week, but blindly we’re going to lean towards the Under. Coach Hue Jackson won’t want to put too much pressure on Mayfield in his first start and he’s not going to put his franchise QB in a position to fail. Cleveland is built to be a run-first offense and that’s not going to change this week, especially not in Mayfield’s first start. Look towards the Under, assuming his passing yards total is around 250-260.

BYE BYE BRADFORD

The Arizona Cardinals have finally put fans out of their misery by sending Sam Bradford to the bench in favor of rookie Josh Rosen. Bradford was benched with 4:34 remaining in the fourth in Sunday’s loss and will stay there, at least for the time being. Rosen was 4 of 7 for 36 yards and an interception in his two drives as he attempted to lead the Cardinals to a comeback win over Chicago.

This week, Rosen gets a home start against a Seattle defense that limited Dak Prescott to 168 yards on 34 passing attempts in Week 3. However, the Seahawks got gashed by Ezekiel Elliott as he rumbled for 127 yards on 16 carries. Clearly, Cardinals coach Steve Wilks will want to attack the run-challenged Seahawks defense with David Johnson. Doing so will also limit the pressure on Rosen in his first career start. This bet was a winner last week so let’s go back to the well and take David Johnson to score at any time.

ENGRAM TO MISS TIME

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram sprained his MCL in the Week 3 win over Houston and will miss time, meaning that Eli Manning is down one of his most talented pass catchers. Rhett Ellison is next up on the depth chart and he had three catches for 39 yards and a touchdown in Week 3, but it’s tough to back a blocking specialist that has 81 career catches in 92 games.

Instead, bettors should look towards Sterling Shepard in a delightful matchup against New Orleans this weekend. Shepard had his best game of the season against Houston, hauling in six catches for 80 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. Shepard will remain the No. 2 option behind Odell Beckham Jr. and the Saints are coming off a game in which they allowed Calvin Ridley — Atlanta’s No. 2 receiving option — seven catches, 146 yards, and three touchdowns. Let’s look towards a big game for Shepard and take the Over on his receiving yards total.

COWBOYS NOT CHANGING

Dallas coach Jason Garrett told reporters on Monday that he isn’t planning any major changes on offense, despite scoring just 41 points on the season. "I think it would be false for me to say this is about play calling," Garrett said about their offensive woes. The play calling he refers to has resulted in big games from Ezekiel Elliott (274 yards, two touchdowns) but not for Dak Prescott (498 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions).

It’s tough to take coaches for their word but we’re going to believe Garrett on this one, especially since the Cowboys are hosting the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The Lions rank 31st in the NFL against the rush and are giving up 149.3 yards per game. They’ve also given up three rushing touchdowns through three games. It’s a pretty safe bet that Elliott is going to see a lot of carries against Detroit and we’re backing him to score at any time.

RAMS, VIKINGS HURTING

Minnesota visits the L.A. Rams on Thursday Night Football in a game where multiple impact players could be missing. We know for sure that Rams CB Aqib Talib (ankle) is out and CB Marcus Peters (calf) isn’t expected to play, though he hasn’t officially been ruled out. For the Vikings, defensive end Everson Griffen (personal) is out, while running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is questionable.

So, what does it all mean? Well, it might be a good night to look the Over. Even without the defensive injuries, the Rams seem to be trending in that direction as the total has gone Over in two of their three games this season (and only didn’t go Over in Week 2 because Arizona put up a goose egg). The Rams are unstoppable on offense and seem to be content keeping their foot on the gas and piling up points right until the end. Additionally, they’re catching the Vikings defense at the right time as it has given up 56 points over the last two games. Finally, the Vikings might be throwing all night due to Cook’s injury and to L.A.’s cornerback issues. The total is high at 49.5 but we’re still feeling good about the Over.

MARIOTA STILL NOT RIGHT

Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) did not start in Week 3 at Jacksonville but was forced into the game after Blaine Gabbert sustained a concussion. Mariota wound up “rallying” the Titans to a 9-6 win, but his stat sheet left a lot to be desired, completing just 12 of 18 passes for 100 yards. On Monday, Tennessee coach Mike Vrabel once again told reporters that there are still throws that Mariota can’t make because of the nerve issue in his throwing arm.

Tennessee’s QB options for Sunday’s home game against Philadelphia are a banged-up Mariota or a concussed Gabbert, meaning the Titans will have no choice but to try and run the bal. The only problem is that the Eagles own the league’s best run defense at 61.7 yards against per game. Points should be a struggle for the Titans in Week 4. We got a winner by betting the Under for the Titans team total last week and we’re making that same bet again this time around.

HARBAUGH PRAISES ALLEN

Ravens coach John Harbaugh had this to say about running back Javorious (Buck) Allen after Sunday’s game: "I think Buck Allen has really become one of the real legitimate players in this league — kind of quietly. He's become a top-level player.” Very high praise for someone who has just 32 yards on 16 carries this season. Allen does, however, have three rushing touchdowns and 13 catches for 70 yards and another receiving score. He has also been used more than Alex Collins near the goal line, receiving four touches inside the five-yard line compared to Collins’ one. The Ravens head to Pittsburgh on Sunday night to take on a Steelers defense that ranks 25th in the NFL in rushing defense. Let’s back Allen to hit pay dirt once again with a touchdown at any time.

A DIFFERENT ALLEN TO SCORE

Here’s a crazy usage stat: Since being named the Bills’ starting quarterback in Week 2, only three players (Todd Gurley, Alvin Kamara, and Carlos Hyde) have more carries inside the 10-yard line than Josh Allen. That usage resulted in two rushing touchdowns last week in the Bills shocking win over the Vikings, one from the 10-yard line and the other from the one. LeSean McCoy was inactive last week, but Chris Ivory was having success (56 rushing yards, 70 receiving yards) and it was still Allen getting the call near the goal line.

The Bills are in another tough spot in Week 4 as they travel to Lambeau Field to take on the Packers, but Green Bay’s defense ranks 23rd in the NFL. Allen should be able to move the Bills into the red zone and, if he gets there, chances he’s going to call his own number. We’re taking Allen to score at any time.

ROLLING RIVERS

Lost in the Chargers’ 1-2 start to the season, is how well quarterback Philip Rivers is playing. The veteran is connecting on almost 70 percent of his passes and has thrown for 906 yards with eight touchdowns, and only one interception. It has just been unfortunate that his Chargers have run into the buzz saws that are the Chiefs and Rams already this season.

On Sunday, Rivers and the Chargers host the Jimmy Garoppolo-less San Francisco 49ers as 10.5-point favorites. The Niners, who are already struggling defensively to the tune of 29.7 points allowed per game, will also be without CB Richard Sherman (calf). The Chargers shouldn’t have any issues scoring and, as we noted yesterday, we’re betting on Niners quarterback C.J. Beathard being serviceable. That would give the Chargers reason to keep scoring later in the game. We like Rivers to keep rolling and we’re backing the Over on the Chargers’ team total.

Teams to Watch - Week 4

Futures Forecast Predictions, top picks, teams to avoid for Week 4

As we look ahead to Week 4 of the 2018 NFL season, we are putting together our weekly set of teams to play and avoid. It has been a bit of a strange start to the season, with some of the teams we expected to be on top struggling in the early going. There are a couple of dark horse teams emerging, too, but with a large portion of the season still to be played, we are trying not to get too carried away with those guys.

We will, as always, be taking a look at 4 teams this week, picking 2 to play and 2 to avoid, so let’s get right to the selections and their odds, props and futures.

Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots
I can’t remember the last time I looked at the standings and did not see the New England Patriots on top of the AFC East. They have started the season at 1-2 and do not look anything like the Patriots team that we have come to expect over the past decade or so, especially on the offensive side of the football. The Patriots will be hosting their division rivals, the Miami Dolphins, this week and will have their hands full with a team brimming with confidence after starting the season at 3-0. While the Patriots have dominated the Dolphins in recent years, I have my doubts about this weekend, particularly ATS, which is why I plan to avoid the New England Patriots.

Minnesota Vikings at LA Rams
There have been few teams that have lived up to the preseason hype through the opening 4 weeks, although the Rams are certainly not in that group. The Rams spent a small fortune in the offseason building a team designed to make a run at the Super Bowl. That big investment is paying off in spades, as they are one of only 3 unbeaten teams heading into Week 4. This will be a big test for the Rams, as they will be hosting a Minnesota Vikings team sure to be smarting after a loss to the Buffalo Bills last week. The Vikings are another big favorite this season, but they are off to a slow start, which is why I will be looking at the SU as I I play the LA Rams.

San Francisco 49ers at LA Chargers
A season that started with so much hope and promise is quickly turning into a nightmare for the San Francisco 49ers. The believed that Jimmy Garoppolo was going to be the man to lead them back to elite status, but the QB tore his ACL last week and is now done for the year. Throw in an injury to Richard Sherman and you are looking that a team that has injuries starting to pile up. Things do not get any easier for the 49ers this weekend, as they will be on the road to face Phillip Rivers and the Chargers. Until I see how this tam reacts to the loss of their QB, I am going to avoid the San Francisco 49ers.

Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos
At the start of this piece, I spoke about the importance of not getting too carried away by a dark horse team, but it’s impossible not to be impressed by what the Kansas City Chiefs are doing right now. Specifically, the play of young QB Patrick Mahomes has been a joy to behold, as he seems to be doing nothing but throwing TD passes through the opening 3 weeks of the season. The Chiefs have a tough road trip on Monday night, as they head into Denver to face the Broncos. It’s never an easy place to go and get a win, but I am ready to play the Kansas City Chiefs.
