PIC’S PICKS FOR WEEK 3 — 6-4 in opposition to the unfold in 2022
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (+2.5) over Baltimore Ravens
Both New England and Baltimore are 1-1. Each misplaced to the Dolphins. The Ravens let Tua Tagovailoa throw for 469 yards and 6 touchdowns final week. So this may very well be an enormous day for Mac Jones, coming off a hard-fought win in Pittsburgh. Lamar Jackson is reportedly coping with an elbow harm. Most cash nonetheless appears to be on Baltimore as a highway favourite. Bill Belichick might be serving that bulletin-board materials for breakfast on Sunday. I’m all around the factors at Gillette.
BUFFALO BILLS (-5.5) over Miami Dolphins
The Bills are 2-0 and have rolled over the Rams and Titans to start the season. Josh Allen has crushed Miami greater than some other staff he’s confronted. He’s 7-1 in opposition to the Dolphins to be precise, with 21 passing touchdowns, 4 dashing touchdowns, and 5 interceptions. Taking a highway favourite in a divisional recreation between two undefeated groups is often a nasty play. Not right here although. Bills win and canopy in Miami in opposition to a Dolphins protection that allowed 38 factors final week.
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (-5.5) over Indianapolis Colts
Expecting the 2-0 Chiefs to roll on a seemingly dangerous 0-1-1 Colts staff feels so apparent that it does make me a little bit nervous. But the numbers say what they are saying. And although Patrick Mahomes is 0-1 in his profession in opposition to Indianapolis, he’s nonetheless 13-2 within the month of September. Mahomes has thrown seven landing passes and no interceptions this season. If you’re actually itching to wager on a heavy home-dog this week, then take Washington (+6.5) over Philly. But right here? I’ll stick to Mahomes to maintain slinging and canopy in Indy.
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (-1) over Green Bay Packers
Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers aren’t actually lighting it up this season, as they’ve mixed for simply 4 touchdowns. Both the 2-0 Bucs and 1-1 Packers have main questions on the receiver place. The distinction right here might be within the backfield. Green Bay has allowed 153 rush yards per recreation, together with 122 rush yards to Chicago’s David Montgomery final Sunday. So I count on an enormous day for Leonard Fournette if his hamstring is nice to go. Give me Tampa at dwelling by a landing.
DALLAS COWBOYS (+1) over New York Giants
The Giants are 2-0 for the primary time since 2016. But Micah Parsons is about to rain on their parade. Parsons already has 4 sacks this season. He’ll be chasing after Daniel Jones all night time lengthy on Monday night time in New Jersey. Jones has been sacked eight instances in two video games. He has no likelihood in opposition to Parsons. I efficiently took the underdog Cowboys final Sunday to cowl in opposition to Cincinnati, and I’m taking them once more right here. Dallas wins by a discipline purpose.
