NFL Betting Week 3 Picks and Odds by BODOG
CAROLINA PANTHERS -3.5 at MIAMI DOLPHINS
Prediction: All over football, the defenses seem to be ahead of the offenses. Except in Cincinnati, maybe. I put the over/under on total touchdowns in this game at two. Carolina to win.*
CLEVELAND BROWNS +14 at INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
Prediction: We refuse to jump on the Romeo Crennel bandwagon, especially not with Peyton Manning steaming after such a lousy game last week. I say Peyton throws four TD passes and Edgerrin James runs for 100+ yards. Colts will win big.*
OAKLAND RAIDERS +8.5 at PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Prediction: A matchup of two men who really don't like each other. Randy Moss and Terrell Owens will each surpass 100 yards receiving with lots of gesturing, but Moss will make his second miserable five-hour plane trip home in three weeks. Eagles to win and deal the Raiders their third straight defeat.*
CINCINNATI BENGALS -3 at CHICAGO BEARS
Prediction: This is more of a vote FOR the Bears than a vote AGAINST the Bengals. The Bears, with the efficient QB Kyle Orton managing the game, can play keep away long enough to give Cincinnati only seven or eight possessions. Chicago to win a by seven points or less.*
TENNESSEE TITANS +6.5 at ST. LOUIS RAMS
Prediction: With apologies to comedian Adam Sandler from The Longest Yard, RegisSuzuki wonders if the Titans still think of "The Longest Yard." We bet Titans coach Jeff Fisher does. Titans will lose again.*
ATLANTA FALCONS at BUFFALO BILLS
Prediction: If Vick was not injured, Atlanta is a shoo-in to beat the Bills but I can't pick the Falcons to go into Buffalo and make enough plays to win. Memo to Willis McGahee: Time to rise up, big fella. Time to go for 126 in about 32 lugs. Bills will win at home.*
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS at NEW YORK JETS
Prediction: I am getting a little shaky on his pick of the Jaguars to win the AFC South (but who believes in my picks anyway?), but they're good enough - and defensively stout enough - to hold off a struggling Jets offense. Jags to steal one on the road.*
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS +4.5 at MINNESOTA VIKINGS
Prediction: Daunte Culpepper will finally notch his and the Vikings first win of the season. Vikings to win by 10 points or more.*
ARIZONA CARDINALS +6 at SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
Prediction: At some point, Kurt Warner's got to be able to use his stud receivers and put on an offensive show. Not this week. I like Matt Hasselbeck, with lesser receivers, to outplay Warner. *
DALLAS COWBOYS -6.5 at SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
Prediction: Drew Bledsoe to Terry Glenn three times for 30-plus-yard scores. Julius Jones for 119. Six days after Bill Parcells' world spun into chaos, the Cowboys will restore order. Dallas will win again on the road.*
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS +3 at PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Prediction: I believe Bill Belichick can figure a way to stop Willie Parker or Ben Roethlisberger, but not both. Don't ask how the game is going to go, but the Steelers will make enough plays to somehow win and stay undefeated.*
NEW YORK GIANTS +6 at SAN DIEGO CHARGERS
Prediction: In the immortal words of that wise old owl Bill Parcells, the desperate team usually wins in football. There is no team more desperate in the AFC right now than San Diego, which travels to New England in Week 4 not wanting to be 0-3 and facing the defending champions. LaDainian Tomlinson will charge his way to a victory.*
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS +3 at DENVER BRONCOS
Prediction: Dick Vermeil has a lovely new vineyard business in northern California. But he's not ready to go tend the ol' grapes yet. He and Al Saunders will figure a way to shred the Broncos.*
