Be Afraid: NE Patriots go 3-0 without Brady, aim at 5-0
Oh, be very afraid, AFC Conference. People who bet on NFL and who have stuck with the New England Patriots, on the other hand, should be very proud of their allegiance. The Pats shut out Brock Osweiler and the Houston Texans 27-0 last night at Gillette Stadium. At this point we would add, “and they did it without Tom Brady.” Let’s redact that; they did it without Tom Brady’s backup Jimmy Garoppolo. They did it with the backup’s backup. Life sure does imitate art, because this is pretty much the plot of Any Given Sunday.

Washington Redskins visit New York Giants in Week 3

All signs seem to point to the Giants making 3-0 on Sunday, September 25th at MetLife Stadium. But here are the NFL betting online odds: Redskins +4½ (-105) 47 (-110) Giants -4½ (-115) 47 (-110)
Green Bay looking more like Lame Bay
Coming into this season many critics considered the Green Bay Packers to be the safest bet on NFL futures. But the way Green Bay has performed in their first two games has left many fans regretting their prediction. The Packers opened their season by barely squeezing by the Jacksonville Jaguars – a team that went 8-24 in the last two seasons. The Jaguars are currently 0-2 but the NFL recently admitted that they missed a crucial call late in the game that would have put the Jags in an excellent position to win the game. Had the flag been thrown the Packers would likely be sitting at 0-2 for the season and be in an even worse position than they find themselves in now.

Eagles’ Hoping Windy City Doesn’t Veer Their Flight
Sometimes it can be hard finding a team worthy of your bet on NFL games, but the way Carson Wentz led the Eagles in their 2016 debut made it hard not to jump on the Eagles’ bandwagon. Entering the season there was a lot of uncertainty surrounding this Philly squad, considering this was the first year the Birds would step onto the gridiron with Doug Pederson at the helm. Pederson was called upon to lead the team after the disaster that was the Chip Kelly era. Fans were eager for a turnaround and Pederson didn’t fail to deliver, trading away then starter Sam Bradford a mere 8 days before the season started. Pederson’s decision was met with praise as Philly fans gave Wentz a standing ovation as he walked onto the field.
Newton’s Praying for Better Protection
While some might have been surprised with the ending to this year’s NFL opener, there was a fair share of sports betting fans who predicted the Broncos would repeat. While a Broncos win might have been expected, what wasn’t foreseen was how effective Denver would be at replacing a legend.
Bet on NFL Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Arizona Cardinals
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are coming from a win and the Arizona Cardinals from a loss, and while people who bet on NFL might believe that the Cards will bounce back from their odds-defying defeat to the New England Patriots and make a sacrificial lamb out of the Bucs, that should not necessarily be the case. And speaking of NFL betting odds: Buccaneers +6½ (-105) 50½ (-110) Cardinals -6½ (-115) 50½ (-110)
Saints Fly to NY to take on the G-Men
The New York Giants finished 3rd in the NFC East last season, but that isn’t stopping them from coming in as NFL betting favorites to take the division in 2016. The East is notorious for being up for grabs and last year the Washington Redskins were the ones to come away with it. Some fans might think the Redskins have a good chance of winning the division this season, but in the last 11 years no team has won the East consecutively. After seeing the way Washington performed against Pittsburgh, it doesn’t seem like they’re going to snap the streak. The Giants, on the other hand, started the season on a significantly higher note by beating a divisional rival.
