The Biggest Disappointment of the Week

The Sunday Night Football game was everything as advertised. We had a great shootout between the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens (+4, ML +170) at M&T Bank Stadium in Charm City. QB Patrick Mahomes got the visitors off to a great start, tossing three touchdowns in the first three quarters, and the visitors led 35-24 heading to the final 15 minutes. The OVER (53.5) was already in the bag, so total bettors might have shut things off early. Hopefully not, as they missed an exciting finish.

If you were holding a Chiefs ticket, money line or spread, it was not quite as exciting. QB Lamar Jackson rallied the Ravens for 12 points in the final quarter, while the defense allowed nothing to the Chiefs, and Baltimore came back for the 36-35 win.

The Chiefs were driving inside of two minutes in Ravens territory, but RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire coughed up the football, a terrible time for his first ever lost fumble in the NFL. The Chiefs had all three timeouts left, and forced a fourth down, but Jackson converted the short-yardage situation to hold on.

The Biggest Disappointment of the Week - Part II

Backers of the Seattle Seahawks (-6.5) looked like they might be in pretty decent shape, as QB Russell Wilson hit WR Freddie Swain on a 68-yard pass and catch for score, making it 30-16 with 13:06 to go. The good feelings lasted all of 49 seconds, as RB Derrick Henry ripped off a 60-yard touchdown run with 12:17 to pare the lead to 30-23.

That man struck again with just 29 ticks left on the clock in regulation, tying the game at 30-30. The game ended up going to overtime.

Seattle blew the 14-point lead, and then the defense blew the game, as the Titans drove down for the 36-yard field goal from PK Randy Bullock. The Seahawks were 52-0 when holding a lead of 15 or more points at home, but the Titans fixed that, erasing a 24-9 lead at the half.

Total Recall

The lowest total on the board in Week 2 was the Thursday night tilt between the New York Giants-Washington Football Team (41). Things started off slow enough, as New York led 7-0 after 15 minutes. But Washington rallied to take a 14-10 lead at halftime. Things were on pace for OVER bettors, and they got even better. The teams combined for 35 points in the final 30 minutes, and the OVER was never in question.

The lowest total on the board for Sunday was the AFC East battle between the New England Patriots-New York Jets (43), and UNDER bettors cashed with the 25-6 win by the road team. The next lowest total, (44.5), also cashed as the Chicago Bears edged the Cincinnati Bengals 20-17 in a game which saw QB Andy Dalton exit early with an injury.

On the flip side, the late-afternoon window saw the Minnesota Vikings-Arizona Cardinals (50.5), Atlanta Falcons-Tampa Bay Buccaneers (51.5), Titans-Seahawks (54 - see above) and Dallas Cowboys-Los Angeles Chargers (55) games with totals all over 50. All but the Boys-Bolts game delivered high offensive numbers, as the Vikes-Cards had 47 points on the board by halftime, and the OVER was in the bag for the Falcons-Bucs by the end of three. The Cowboys and Chargers surprised with a defensive battle, although it did come down to a last-second field to determine a winner, but the UNDER was never in doubt there.

As far as primetime games, the OVER is a perfect 5-for-5 so far this season after two more high-scoring affairs Thursday and Sunday nights. The Monday night game between the Detroit Lions-Green Bay Packers (48.5) is also expected to see some big totals.

For the regular season the OVER is perfect 5-0 (100.0%) across 5 primetime games, with the MNF game pending. In 2020, the UNDER was 28-19-1 (59.5%) in 48 primetime contests. In 2019, the UNDER went 31-17-1 (64.6%) during primetime games.

Looking Ahead to Week 3

Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET)

The Colts (0-2) and Titans (1-1) square off in the Music City in an important AFC South battle. The Titans are coming off a thrilling road win in Seattle.

Indianapolis has posted a 2-6 ATS mark in the past eight games inside the AFC South, but they are a solid 5-1 ATS in the past six games on the road. Tennessee has managed just a 1-4 ATS mark across the past five at Nissan Stadium. They're also just 5-14 ATS across the past 19 meetings with the Colts, including 1-4 ATS in the past five meetings in Nashville. The road team has also cashed in five straight meetings, with the OVER going 5-1 in the past six battles in Tennessee.

We'll be keeping an eye on QB Carson Wentz, who (surprise!) left Sunday's game with an injury.

Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET)

The Chargers (1-1) and Chiefs (1-1) will be battling to stay out of the basement in the AFC West, as both the Broncos (2-0) and Raiders (2-0) are unbeaten through two games. Kansas City nearly joined them at the top, but fell late in Baltimore.

The Bolts have cashed in five of the past six games overall, and they're a solid 7-3-1 ATS in the past 11 games on the road. The Chiefs have managed to go just 1-5-1 ATS in the previous seven games inside the division, and they're 2-10 ATS in the past 12 as a favorite, including the SNF loss in Balto.

In this series, the road team is a solid 12-3-1 ATS in the past 16 meetings, and the Chargers are 4-1-1 ATS in the past six visits to Arrowhead, too.

Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET)

The Bengals (1-1) and Steelers (1-1) square off, and it usually doesn't go well for Cinti. They're just 1-4 ATS in the past five trips to the Steel City, and 8-21-1 ATS in the past 30 meetings with the Steelers.

As far as the total, the UNDER is 4-1-1 in the past six meetings between these AFC North rivals, and 5-1-1 in the past seven battles at Heinz Field.

The UNDER is also 3-1-1 in Cincinnati's past five on the road, and 13-4-2 in the past 19 as a road underdog. Pittsburgh, who lost WR Diontae Johnson on the final play of their loss to the Raiders, might need to make adjustments on offense. The UNDER is 4-1-1 in the past six for the Steelers as a home favorite, and 6-2-1 in the past nine overall as a fave.

Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys (Monday, 8:15 p.m. ET)

The Eagles (1-1) and Cowboys (1-1) wrap up the Week 3 schedule on MNF.

Philly has cashed in just one of the past seven games on the road, although they did win and cover in Atlanta in Week 1 as the UNDER connected. The Eagles are just 1-4 ATS in the past five trips to Jerry World, and 2-5 ATS in the past seven meetings overall. The favorite has hit in eight of the past 11 in this series, with the home team a perfect 5-for-5 against the number in the past five battles.

The Cowboys are just 1-7 ATS in the past eight as a favorite, and 1-5 ATS in the past six inside the division. They're also a dismal 5-11 ATS in the past 16 appearances on Monday night.

As far as the total, the UNDER is 4-0 in the past four MNF games for Philly.

Hot and Not Report - Week 3
Matt Blunt

It was a week too late to bring up the angle of fading teams before a TNF appearance as it didn't produce a win in Week 2. But it's still 2-2 ATS on the year and it's Jacksonville and Cincinnati on deck in Week 4. Both teams are catching points in Week 3 with Jacksonville a home dog vs Arizona and the Bengals on the road to face Pittsburgh.

Can't imagine there will be significant support early in the week for the Jags or Bengals, so if you are looking to keep on fading the pre-TNF teams, likely best to do it early this week.

The first tidbit for this week is in a similar boat as it had been rolling until a 2-4 ATS record in Week 3 last year took some air out of it's sails. But with a few teams already qualifying for this role as an ugly road underdog, bettors that prefer to wait until a little later in the week to get down are likely going to catch a few more points with at least a few of these teams.

Who's Hot

Week 3 road teams that are 0-2 ATS to start the year are 17-8 ATS in Week 3 the past five seasons, was 15-4 ATS before going 2-4 ATS in 2020

Talk about finding a reason to be on some pretty bad looking teams in Week 3, this angle that took it on the chin last year (2-4 ATS) has the Atlanta Falcons, New York Jets, and Washington Football team as qualified teams to play on this week in Week 3. They are three of the five NFL teams that have yet to cover a point spread this season, but with Kansas City and Jacksonville both playing at home this week, it's these three rough looking underdogs that you've got to try and make a case for.

The idea behind backing these teams is that the point spread is almost always going to be slightly inflated against these squads because they've got quite a bit working against them (on the road, yet to cover a spread). Most of the time these teams have also had at least one ugly loss in the opening two weeks as well, they could be winless in the SU market, and when put all of those things together, it's a role most aren't even remotely interested in wanting to back.

So point spreads shift the other way to make it that much more expensive to fade these teams. The end result is that these 0-2 ATS teams could be getting a point or two more than they probably should be and it's helped them produce such a great Week 3 ATS record over the years. With Washington, Atlanta, and the New York Jets in this role this year, it doesn't take much to land on the side of the coin that suggests maybe these point spreads are a little too far against these three teams. Washington (+9) is playing at Buffalo this week, while the Falcons (+3) vs the Giants, and the Jets (+11.5) are in Denver.

Two weeks of Jets games so far have not been pretty, and after the 4 INT's QB Zach Wilson threw in Week 2, making a case for getting behind this team is tough. But the qualifier about those four interceptions is they did come against Belichick and his defenses have feasted on rookie QB's from the outset.

Wilson threw one INT vs Carolina in Week 1 as he needed about a half in an NFL uniform to feel somewhat comfortable, and he did manage to throw for two TD's against that Carolina defense as well. That same unit that held down Week 1 offensive darling QB Jameis Winston to just a single garbage time TD on Sunday.

Asking a Teddy Bridgewater-led offense to cover a double digit point spread at home is another tough question in itself, but the challenge doesn't get any easier for Wilson going against that Broncos defense. It's almost the perfect example of a potential play here where it really is the concept of this run (17-8 ATS) vs what your eyes have told you about how bad the Jets have been so far.

Washington and Atlanta ATS (and even ML for high risk tolerance) are the far better plays this week for this role though, as I would not be surprised to see either of them leave Week 3 with a SU win as well.

Atlanta's the more likely team to do so given the much smaller point spread, as visiting the 0-2 NY Giants shouldn't be nearly the test Washington has facing a preseason Super Bowl contender in the Buffalo Bills. However, if the argument is that these 0-2 ATS road teams are ones that tend to be catching more points than they probably should, Washington's the team that is more in line with that idea, and they get extra rest to boot.

Atlanta's facing the only other team with extra rest (NYG) heading into Week 3, complicating that situation even more, with Washington's opponent – Buffalo – coming off a shutout win on Sunday and arguably now looking much better than they possibly are, at least defensively, off that result.

So taking the points with Washington and Atlanta is something I've done this week, with a little more stake on the Washington side of things given the bigger point spread and slightly more favorable role (extra rest).

Who's Not

Non-Conference games are 3-7 O/U this season. Games for Week 3 include Carolina vs. Houston, Washington vs. Buffalo, Arizona vs. Jacksonville, Baltimore vs. Detroit, Chicago vs. Cleveland, New Orleans vs. New England

NFL games are 15-17 O/U overall this year even with prime time games being a perfect 6-0 O/U through two full weeks. It tells you that Sunday's have been for 'under' players so far (9-17 O/U Sunday afternoon games), and a big part of that flip has to be these non-conference affairs.

For years these were great 'over' plays as the thinking was a lack of familiarity and a lack of hatred for the opponent generally leads to tough days on defense for teams. They are either getting burned/fooled and/or aren't as focused in prep for the game or on the field on Sunday and it led to points each way. That just hasn't been the case this year though, as five of those seven 'unders' non-conference have seen have finished with 40 or fewer points. Non-conference games are averaging 44.3 points per game so far, and it seems at least early on, the numbers have made an adjustment.

Out of the six AFC-NFC clashes that are scheduled for Week 3, four of them currently have totals within a FG of that 44.3 points/game average. The TNF clash between Carolina and Houston is sitting at 43.5, with Washington/Buffalo at 45.5, Chicago/Cleveland at 46.5, and New Orleans/New England at 42 all playing on Sunday. Non-conference games finished 31-33 O/U overall a season ago, so it's not like these games being lower scoring is out of the blue, but sometimes a lack of familiarity can lead to doubt in trusting what teams believe they can run offensively too and that plays a part in these lower scoring results.

We do have two games that have current totals that are much higher than that 44.3 pts/game average and it's the Ravens/Lions game that may be the better option to look low on.

The Baltimore/Detroit total is around 49.5 currently as it's two teams off very different results in prime time. Baltimore needed a 2 nd half surge to just barely get by the Chiefs in a great game, while the Lions got blanked in the 2 nd half on MNF to turn a 17-14 halftime lead into a 35-17 loss that didn't even see Detroit cover the +11.5.

How each team reacts off those results is going to be interesting, as Detroit's defensive numbers aren't good, but it's a completely different task shutting down this run-heavy Ravens attack compared to them getting beat in the passing game like they have for the most part in the first two weeks.

You know Baltimore's going to continue to rely on that running game and that doesn't necessarily hurt an 'under' look here, especially when this defense could feel like they are playing a high school team after playing Mahomes. If this number continues to creep upwards during the week, the 'under' is going to be added.

Bills (-7) vs. Washington, 43-21

The Biggest Disappointment of the Week

Money line bettors of the Detroit Lions (+7.5, ML +320) didn't care about NFL history. They wanted money. And they were oh-so-close.

The Lions led 17-16 with seven seconds left in the game. On 4th and 19, it appeared the Lions were on their way to the first victory of the season. QB Lamar Jackson tossed up a 36-yard prayer to WR Sammy Watkins, who kept hope alive. Jackson then stopped the clock on a spike, even though the telecast appeared to show the play clock expired. That gave PK Justin Tucker a chance at a 67-yard field goal attempt at the buzzer, a try which would make NFL history.

Tucker took a little jump-step on the attempt, gave it a ride and it hit the crossbar and bounced over for the winner, and NFL history, although perhaps it shouldn't have been. Money line bettors of the Lions were left shaking their heads at the terrible luck.

The Biggest Disappointment of the Week - Part II

UNDER bettors in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers-Los Angeles Rams (55.5) gave were feeling very good after a scoreless first quarter. The books expected fireworks, and they eventually came in the second and third quarters, with L.A. taking a 31-17 lead after 45 minutes. Suddenly, a sure UNDER bet was now looking like the OVER everyone thought this game would be.

However, the offensive grinded to a halt once again, as we had only a PK Matt Gay field goal from 26 yards out with 8:14 to go in regulation, as the Rams were doubling up the defending champs, 34-17. That's the way things past the two-minute warning, although the Bucs weren't giving up. Much to the dismay of UNDER bettors, QB Tom Brady was under center still, and he wasn't quitting. He hit RB Giovani Bernard for a 7-yard touchdown with 1:10 to go, flipping the UNDER to an OVER result.

Total Recall

The lowest total on the board in Week 3 wasn't low enough. The New York Jets-Denver Broncos (41.5) was expected to be a defensive battle, and the Jets certainly cooperated. They scored as many points and you and I, while the Broncos were good for 26 points in the shutout victory.

The second-lowest total was the Cincinnati Bengals-Pittsburgh Steelers (42) game, and we had an unexpected result in that one. The Bengals picked up the road victory, winning 24-10. No one expected the Steelers to manage just 10 points at home against the lowly Bengals, but that's exactly what happened. Next lowest was the Thursday game between the Carolina Panthers-Houston Texans (43), then the New Orleans Saints-New England Patriots (43.5) and Chicago Bears-Cleveland Browns (44.5). All of those games hit the UNDER, too, in what was mostly a low-scoring week.

As far as the highest total, that honor belonged to the Buccaneers-Rams game, and we touched on how that one ended above. The Los Angeles Chargers-Kansas City Chiefs (55) gave was the second-highest total, and that just went UNDER despite a scoreless first quarter. In fact, some shops opened that one at 53.5, so OVER bettors might have hit this bet if they bet it early.

As far as primetime games, the Panthers-Texans gave was the first UNDER of the season for games under the lights. The Sunday night affair between the Green Bay Packers-San Francisco 49ers (51) was another thriller, and a combined 27 points in the fourth quarter helped the OVER connect. That's now 7-1 (87.5%) through eight primetime games, with the Monday night battle between the Philadelphia Eagles-Dallas Cowboys (52) still pending. In 2020, the UNDER was 28-19-1 (59.5%) in 48 primetime contests. In 2019, the UNDER went 31-17-1 (64.6%) during primetime games.

Looking Ahead to Week 4

Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET)

The Lions (0-3) and Bears (1-2) will be looking to avoid the basement in the NFC North Division. The Lions hit the road for the second time this season, and they're hoping for better results. Detroit fell 35-17 at
Green Bay in Week 2 on Monday night, failing to cover as the OVER hit.

The Lions are 4-9 ATS in the past 13 games on the road, and 3-7 in the past 10 as a road 'dog, too. For the Bears, they are 1-7 ATS in the past eight as a home favorite, while going 1-4 ATS in the past five inside the division, too.

As far as the total, the OVER is 5-1 in the past six inside the division for the Lions, while the OVER is a perfect 4-0 in the past four division games for the Bears. In addition, Detroit is 1-3-1 ATS in the past five trips to Chicago.

Arizona Cardinals at Los Angeles Rams (Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET)

It's a battle of unbeatens for the top spot in the NFC West, as the Cardinals (3-0) travel to meet the Rams (3-0). Arizona is 2-0 SU/ATS in two games on the road, while hitting the UNDER in each away game. For the Rams, they're a perfect 2-0 ATS in two home games, so something's gotta give there, too. The OVER has connected in each of the three games for the Rams so far.

The Cards have a dismal 0-4 ATS mark in the past four inside the division, while going 0-5 ATS in the past five against teams with a winning record. On the flip side, the Rams are 4-1 ATS in the past five at home, while going 7-2 ATS in the past nine against winning teams. L.A. is also 10-4-1 ATS in the past inside the division.

The UNDER is 13-3 in Arizona's past 16 on the road, and 5-0 in the past five as a road underdog. While it's all OVER all the time for the Rams so far, the UNDER is 13-3 in their past 16 as a home favorite, and 5-2 in the past seven inside the division.

Arizona has had a tough time in L.A., too, going 0-3-1 ATS in the four in SoCal, and 0-7-1 ATs in the past eight meetings overall.

Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers (Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET)

The Seahawks have lost and failed to cover each of the past two outigs, while the 49ers are coming off a disappointing loss at home to the Packers on Sunday night.

Seattle failed to cover on the road in Minnesota, and they're now 1-7 ATS in the past eight on the road. Seattle has covered just three of the past 10 inside the NFC West, too. San Francisco has covered four of the past five inside the division, although they are just 5-21-1 ATS in the past 27 as a home favorite.

Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Chargers (Monday, 8:15 p.m. ET)

The Raiders (3-0) and Chargers (2-1) meet in a marquee game in the AFC West. Who would've predicted that a season ago? Or even three weeks ago?

There's something about Monday that agrees with the silver and black. They topped the Ravens in Week 1 in a stellar MNF game, and they're 4-0 ATS in the past four appearances on Monday night. Vegas is also 6-2 ATS in the past eight inside the division.

The Bolts have covered four straight inside the division, and they're 6-1 ATS in the past seven games overall.

Meanwhile, the OVER is 5-1 in the past six inside the division for the Raiders, while going 6-2 in the past eight on the road. The OVER is 5-1 in the past six for the Chargers against winning teams, and 4-1 in the past five inside the division.

The underdog is 18-6 in the past 24 meetings in this series, with the UNDER 16-4-1 in the past 21 meetings in Southern California.
