Episode notes
Week 3 Betting Angles
- Take the Rams +3.5 against the Eagles because their defense pressures and the Eagles lack big-play passing.
- Bet Patriots +1.5 at home versus Pittsburgh since New England rushes and Pittsburgh struggles in the secondary.
Rams Defense Versus Eagles Offense
- The Rams' pass rush and top scoring defense offset Stafford's high rating and the Eagles' limited chunk plays.
- Fewer than four 20+ yard plays for Philly indicates their offense isn't stretching defenses yet.
Pick The Over In Cowboys-Bears
- Take the over 50.5 in Cowboys-Bears because Dallas controls third down and Chicago produces many three-and-outs.
- Expect a Cowboys win in a high-scoring, late finish scenario (28-27 projection).
