Bettor Up: Week 2 NFL Bets

I'm still trying to figure out if Russell Wilson indeed tapped out of those final seconds vs. the Seahawks and the color of Al Michaels' hair, so pardon me for my late arrival to examine the NFL's Week 2 betting board. 

I know it's one week and some people are making Super Bowl reservations right this minute for Geno Smith after he helped Seattle get a flucky win over Denver, but it's human nature to overreact to in-your-face results after eight months of no real NFL football. Hopefully my 3-0 start to the (2022) NFL betting season entices you to wager more money on the Jets to win the AFC East. 

Bears (+10) @ Packers: The Bears, double-digit home underdogs in Week 1, showed marked improvement on both sides of the ball in their win over San Francisco. On the flip side, Green Bay looked out of sorts, especially on offense, in their loss to the Vikings. I think the NFC North is going to be better than what most people think. I also have a thing for road underdogs on SNF. 

Vikings (+2.5) @ Eagles: We have two MNF games this week and I kind of like plays in both of them. Let's start here where the revamped Eagles narrowly escaped in Detroit despite their offense looking the part. Only problem now is they face a Vikings defense that will pressure Jalen Hurts, if not disrupt their running game. Therefore, it's unlikely the Eagles will have their way with Minnesota's front seven. I also like the Vikings chances of setting the pace to the game behind their offensive line. Bet the road underdogs. 

Titans @ Bills Under 51.5:  The Titans, for all their problems vs. the Giants in Week 1 , always seem to have the kind of roster make-up to give the Bills some problems. While strong at passing the ball and limiting big plays on defense, Buffalo struggles to run the football and stopping the opposition from running it against them. Buffalo also had the luxury of plenty of short drives vs. the Rams in Week 1. So, look for the Titans to take the air out of the football as this game stays under the total number.

Bettor Up: College football Week 3 best bets

(Outside of No. 12 BYU @ No. 25 Oregon and No. 13 Miami @ No. 24 Texas A&M, the Week 3 college football betting board is thin on marquee matchups. However, plenty of college football bettors everywhere from Hialeah, Florida to Lake Forest, California, if not from parts in-between, will be out to bet themselves back up a week after Appalachian St. put another dent in Jimbo Fisher's doghouse, Marshall unhinged 'The Golden Dome' and the Longhorns scared Nick's kids.)

The good news, besides Jimbo Fisher still being the head coach at Texas A&M, if you enjoy betting against the Aggies, is you've survived the first three weeks of the 2022 college football season. I've also hit my last four college football picks after an 0-4 start to the 2022 season, including going 0-3 in Week 0. The bad news is I will no longer be making free college football betting picks after this week. So, drop me a line if you are in the market for a sports betting content provider or interested in my picks..

Here are my college football Week 3 betting picks. As you should already be doing, please bet responsibly. 

Florida State @ Louisville, Under 56.5:

The emergence of Florida State's defense, which had their way with LSU, and is well-rested after a bye week, combined with Louisville's inability to score on offense, despite the services of dual-threat QB Malik Cunningham, makes this an easy call. 

Purdue @ Syracuse, Under 58.5: 

I don't eat many oranges. I don't wear a lot of orange. I'm also not sold on Syracuse QB Garrett Schrader doing much against a strong Purdue defense. Syracuse, on the other hand, has a very good defense as well. So, bet on lots of defense under the 'Dome'.

California (+11) @ Notre Dame: 

Unfortunately, Brian Kelly is not walking through that door anytime soon. Not only are the roses drying up for Marcus Freeman rather quickly, but with QB Tyler Buchner likely out for the entire season the Irish will have to turn their offense over to Drew Pyne - on a full-time basis. California, physical on defense and good enough to get into a grind-it-out, low-scoring affair as a significant road underdog, is the side here. Especially, if you can find 10+ anywhere. Shop around, kids.
