NFL Preseason Week 3 Betting Picks

by WagerHome Blog on August 24, 2022

The final week of the NFL preseason is the last chance for players to get into the rhythm for the regular season. It’s also a last chance for the referees to work out their offseason cobwebs, and it’s the last chance for NFL bettors to make a few bucks before 18 straight regular-season Sundays of wall-to-wall point spreads and parlays.

Seattle Seahawks (-3) at Dallas Cowboys – Friday

This pick is all about incentive. The two quarterbacks in Seattle are fighting for a job, and they will play like it. The Cowboys are playing to not get hurt before their season starts against the Buccaneers.

Seattle’s roster is far better than many people think, and they will cover the three-point spread in Dallas.

New England Patriots at Las Vegas Raiders (-1.5) – Friday

Mac Jones has looked good for the Patriots, and their defense looked strong in their 20-10 win over the Panthers last week. So look for the Patriots to put things on cruise control for most of this game.

The Raiders, however, are led by new head coach Josh McDaniels, a disciple of Bill Belichick, and he would love to beat his long-time boss.

The Raiders have a new offense, they will spend more time on Friday working on that offense, and that will be enough for them to get the win on Friday and cover the very small point spread.

NFL Preseason

Chicago Bears at Cleveland Browns (-4.5) – Saturday

Never before has a Cleveland Browns team wanted to beat the Carolina Panthers more than the Browns do in Week 1 this year. Losing to the quarterback, they dumped in exchange for the quarterback mess they brought into the building will not please a fan base already on edge.

They have talent, they care about this game so that it sets them up well for September 11, and they absolutely want to have a good performance in front of those home fans.

Even if the Bears roll with their starters in this one, the Cleveland defense is simply too good. The Browns will cover at home.

Minnesota Vikings at Denver Broncos (Pick) – Saturday

The Denver Broncos were just annihilated by the Buffalo Bills. It’s only the NFL preseason, but no one likes to get dominated at this level. These players all have pride.

Look for Denver to rebound back at Mile High and do a much better job of slowing the Minnesota offense. These teams played in the NFL preseason last year, and Denver won 33-6. Look for another Broncos win this weekend.

Three NFL Favorites To Bet As Locks In Week 13

by WagerHome Blog on November 30, 2019

Thanksgiving weekend is the unofficial start to the NFL’s homestretch. Playoff teams begin to separate themselves from the pack. Other teams begin to eye the coming offseason. Weather becomes an issue. And since this is prime betting time on the sports calendar, if you haven’t yet signed up for a Pay Per Head bookmaking website, you are leaving money on the table. You can give it a look at WagerHome.com and get four free weeks to test it out.

If you have already moved your bookmaking business to a PPH site, then you know the value of NFL betting and the values that can be found by betting the best favorites for this week.

Oakland Raiders at Kansas City Chiefs (-8.5)

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr does not do well in cold weather, and a winter storm is rolling its way through Kansas City. Couple that with Carr’s 0-5 record at Arrowhead Stadium in any weather and the giant egg the Raiders laid on last week’s trip to the Jets, and expectations are low for Oakland.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Kansas City coach Andy Reid is coming off a bye, where he’s deadly. The Chiefs are finally getting healthy after a number of weeks lost due to injury. And Patrick Mahomes has had huge games against a below-average Oakland defense.

The inclement weather expected for kickoff has lowered the over/under total line, but the Chiefs are still a great bet to score lots of points and roll to a big victory.

Cleveland Browns (-2) at Pittsburgh Steelers

It’s not often we look forward to a Browns-Steelers rematch. But following the Myles Garrett helmet-swinging incident, this game carries a little extra excitement with it. Even if the change at quarterback for Pittsburgh robs us of one the major players in that fight in the first meeting.

Devlin Hodges will be making his second career NFL start for the Steelers because, as head coach Mike Tomlin said, “He hasn’t killed us.”

Not exactly a ringing endorsement, and reason enough to still like the Browns in this one despite playing on the road and being without Garrett. Cleveland’s offense has been clicking since the addition of Kareem Hunt, and it will keep it going in this one.

Minnesota Vikings at Seattle Seahawks (-3)

Seattle has been on a roll against the spread, going 4-2 in its last six games. Russell Wilson is playing some of the best football of his career, and the Seahawks have to get this win if they want to stay in the hunt for the NFC West title.

Minnesota also has a lot to play for as it remains in the hunt for its own division title and a possible first-round bye. But the Vikings are just 1-5 against the spread in their last six games against Seattle and going on the road in primetime isn’t where Kirk Cousins thrives.

The Seahawks are on a four-game winning streak, and against the Vikings, they will make five straight and win by at least a touchdown.
