NFL Futures - Super Bowl LIII Winner - NFL Week 3

By: The Frisco Kid

NFL Futures, Early Super Bowl LIII Winner & a NFL Week 3 Preview

Before we get into the early pick to win Super Bowl LIII let dabble into a couple of other things.

NFL futures continue to update as the season progresses. If you fancy yourself a NFL prognosticator, there is some great value to be had. Sure, there are a ton of factors to consider. It can include present play to unforeseen injuries to schedule, and many other things.

By looking into your crystal ball, profiting on the Super Bowl LIII winner is a real possibility at this time. Lets take a look at where you can find some value and see where the numbers are heading into Week 3.

Los Angeles Rams +500

At +500, the Rams are currently the favorite to win the Super Bowl. The Rams started the season with a 33-13 win in Oakland on Monday Night Football. They then destroyed the Cardinals 34-0 in Week 2. That is only the beginning as there are many reasons to be all in on the Rams.

Football Betting three Weeks in – A Quick Maintenance Check

Although it is a small sample size, the Rams are currently 3^rd on overall defense and 9^th in overall offense. They have a lot of team depth unless the injury bug hits.

With a ground game led by Todd Gurley, and a talented wide receiver core with big play ability, the Rams will be able to score with the best of them. Brandin Cooks leads the team with 12 receptions for 246 yards. That is good for an average of 20.5 yards per catch.

Not only can their offense move the ball, but they are as deep as any team on the defensive side of the ball. Super Bowl LIII Odds at +500 is not providing much value.

BUT at this point in the 2018 National Football League season, the Los Angeles Rams are a good bet to be representing the NFC in this year’s Super Bowl.

New England Patriots +600

Even with the Patriots Week 2 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, New England is still the second favorite to win the Super Bowl. They are also the favorite to win the AFC at +250.

Oddsmakers take everything into account. With Edelman returning from his 4-week suspension and the addition of Josh Gordon, watching the Pats rise up the power rankings is a near given.

What is a Pay Per Head | What do they offer | How does it Work?

The Pats are 25^th in total team defense. They are giving up the 27^th most rushing yards per game and 23^rd amount of passing yards per game. Knowing Coach Bill, he will find a way to right the ship. I am fading the Pats in this futures category for now.

Jacksonville Jaguars +850

Right now, the Jags are my favorite to win the AFC. With Odds at +850 I think they are providing some nice value. The Jags are the Rams of the AFC. They have a deep, athletic defense and an offense that is improving.

Vegas Odds vs. Offshore Odds, What's Better, What's the Difference?

The Jags’ win last week against the Pats, happened without their star running back. Leonard Fournette is questionable to play in Week 3 versus the Titans due to a hamstring injury. It will be a surprise if he doesn’t suit up, but the point is they got it done without him.

The Pats put the game in Blake Bortles’ hands and he ran with it. He threw for almost 400 yards with 4 TDs. Bortles added another 35 yards on the ground on 6 carries.

If the Jags keep getting production from all over the defense they will prosper. Keelan Cole should continue to improve as a receiver and get better. There is no reason to think they will regress from their AFC Championship appearance last season.

Philadelphia Eagles +1150

I could not leave the Eagles off a list that was talking about Super Bowl LIII futures value. Only two short weeks ago the Eagles were a the top of most power rankings. That was mostly by default as returning champs.

Understanding Your Online Sportsbook’s Juice on NFL Games

They are currently 5^th in ESPN’s power rankings, and 6^th on the Super Bowl odds list at +1150. It’s true the Eagles offense has been hit early by injuries. With Carson Wentz now back under center, the sky is the limit for this team because of their defense.

This Eagle's front 7 can get after the QB like few teams can. They have a rotation unlike any other in football. A deep run into the playoffs is very achievable again this season.

Getting $1150 on a $100 bet on the Eagles to repeat as Super Bowl champs is perhaps the best value on the board. They need a healthy Alshon Jeffery and Jay Ajayi after putting Mike Wallace on the IR. The addition of Wentz’s old buddy Jordan Matthews should add a spark.

It could be time to get onboard the Eagles train now. When they rattle off a couple wins, they will bring that value down with them.

Here are all the current odds to win Super Bowl LIII:

Los Angeles Rams                                 +500

New England Patriots                          +600

Jacksonville Jaguars                             +850

Texas A&M Aggies

Quarterback Kellen Mond ran for two touchdowns and threw for a third to lead Texas A&M to a 48-10 home win against Louisiana Monroe last week. Mond completed 16 of his 24 passes for 210 yards. He was second on the team with 67 rushing yards to help the Aggies improve to 2-1.

Tua Tagovailoa completed 11 of 15 passes for 191 yards and two touchdowns. He ran for 47 yards on five carries. Jalen Hurts was 7-for-10 for 85 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He added 20 yards on the ground.

College Football Trends:

The Texas A&M Aggies are:

4-0 ATS in their last four games overall

20-5-1 ATS in their last 26 games in September

4-1 ATS in their last five road games

5-2-1 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up win

5-2-1 ATS in their last eight games following an ATS win

 

The Alabama Crimson Tide are: 

4-9 ATS in their last 13 games after allowing less than 20 points in their previous game

1-4 ATS in their last five conference games

1-4 ATS in their last five home games against a team with a winning road record

1-4 ATS in their last five games after allowing less than 275 total yards in their previous game

1-5 ATS in their last six games after allowing less than 170 yards passing in their previous game

Kellen Mond has the ability to make plays and put points on the board. Texas A&M has enough playmakers on the outside to keep this game from being a blowout. Alabama will win but take Texas A&M to cover the spread.

Don't Faint -- The Cleveland Browns are Favorites in Primetime

The New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns will meet on Thursday Night Football tonight.  They are the NFL Week 3 Primetime matchup. FirstEnergy Stadium will host the contest. NBC and NFL Network will have coverage starting at 8 pm EST.

Oddsmakers opened the Browns as -3.5-point favorites versus the Jets, while the game's total opened at 40. The line is now Cleveland as 3-point favorites and the total is 41.

The Cleveland Browns find themselves in an unfamiliar place. They have continually discovered painful - and often creative - ways to escape without a victory. This has dated back to the 2016 season.

The beleaguered Browns are winless in their last 19 games (0-18-1). Tonight they find themselves as the favored team at home for the first time since 2015.

Cleveland Was Almost a Winner Last Week

Zane Gonzalez misfired on his second field-goal attempt, and fourth overall in the waning seconds of Sunday's 21-18 loss at New Orleans. Gonzalez was cut in favor of former Miami castoff Greg Joseph on Monday.

The Browns also traded troubled wide receiver Josh Gordon to New England for a fifth-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. The top overall selection, Baker Mayfield, remains on the bench in Cleveland.

Carlos Hyde has scored a touchdown in four straight games dating to last season. He rushed for career-high 193 yards while reeling in a scoring strike in his only career meeting versus the Jets.

Jets May Have a Winner in Darnold

The Jets are 1-1 to start the 2018 season. No. 3 pick Sam Darnold became the youngest NFL player to eclipse 300 yards in a game in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Dolphins. This kid has proven he has the talent. Now the question is can that talent translate to wins.

Quincy Enunwa has proven to be Darnold's most trusted target with 13 receptions for 155 yards and a touchdown. Former Browns wideout/quarterback Terrelle Pryor had four catches for 84 yards versus Lions.

Isaiah Crowell spent four seasons in Cleveland and will want to play well tonight. He answered a 102-yard, two-touchdown performance in his team's 48-17 rout of Detroit on Sept. 10 by being held to just 35 yards on Sunday.

Marcus Maye is not expected to play as he nurses a foot injury. He recorded his first career interception in his team's 17-14 win over Cleveland last season.

Stanek pitches an inning of relief on Tuesday

Ryne Stanek (2-3, 2.49 ERA, 1.06 WHIP) threw a perfect ninth inning in a 4-0 win against the Rangers on Tuesday. He recorded one strikeout. Stanek has been unhittable lately. He has thrown six scoreless innings in eight appearances (four starts) since August 31.

The Rays have scored 659 runs (19th in the majors). They are putting up 4.36 runs per game (18th), hitting .260 (2nd) with 141 home runs (27th).

Tampa Bay ranks 3rd with a 3.59 ERA, 3rd with a 1.18 WHIP and 12th with 1314 strikeouts. Their bullpen ranks 10th with a 3.61 ERA.

C.J. Cron leads the Rays with 27 home runs and 65 RBI. Jake Bauers has 11 home runs and 46 RBI.

Gaviglio runs into trouble in Boston

Sam Gaviglio (3-8, 5.25 ERA, 1.44 WHIP) gave up two earned runs on six hits (one home run) in his last outing. He had a walk with a strikeout over just 3 1/3 innings to get a no-decision in a 4-3 loss against the Red Sox last Thursday.

Gaviglio is 0-1 with an 8.22 ERA and a 1.81 WHIP in his last two starts.

The Blue Jays have scored 669 runs (17th in the majors). They are putting up 4.40 runs per game (17th), hitting .244 (20th) with 201 home runs (5th).

Toronto ranks 26th with a 4.82 ERA, 26th with a 1.40 WHIP and 21st with 1222 strikeouts. Their bullpen ranks 21st with a 4.37 ERA.

MLB Trends:

The Tampa Bay Rays are:

23-6 in their last 29 games against a right-handed starter

16-5 in their last 21 games against a team with a losing record

39-13 in their last 52 when their opponent scores two runs or less in their previous game

40-16 in their last 56 after scoring five runs or more in their previous game

36-17 in their last 53 overall

5-0 in Stanek's last five starts when their opponent scores two runs or less in their previous game

5-0 in Stanek's last five starts against a team with a losing record

6-0 in Stanek's last six starts on astroturf

5-1 in Stanek's last six starts after scoring five runs or more in their previous game

4-0 in Stanek's last four starts against the Blue Jays

7-2 in the last nine meetings

The Toronto Blue Jays are: 

3-7 in their last 10 home games following a road trip of seven or more days

7-21 in their last 28 games against a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15

4-14 in their last 18 Thursday games

1-8 in Gaviglio's last nine starts

0-7 in Gaviglio's last seven starts against a team with a winning record.

The Rays are red-hot. They're the better team, by far. Ryne Stanek has done a great job limiting opponents from putting runs on the board in the first inning.  He keeps the runs down before handing the ball off to the rest of the bullpen.

Stanek hasn't given up an earned run in six innings over his last eight appearances (four starts). Sam Gaviglio is 0-2 with a 6.23 ERA and a 1.83 WHIP in two starts against the Rays this season.

NFL Week 3 Lines to Watch

By: The Frisco Kid

NFL Week 3 has Some Interesting Lines to Watch

There have been some significant early line movements for NFL Week 3. Finding out the reason could net solid profits. Nothing is a given in sports betting, but early movement is usually a sign of big money. Here are three games to keep an eye on leading up to kickoff this week.

New York Giants at Houston Texans | Open: HOU -3 | Current: HOU -6.5

This one opened Sunday evening at -3, -3.5 at a couple books. It was quickly bet up to -6 on Monday morning. That accounts for the biggest line move this week to this point. It can be found offshore at 6.5.

Such a move is most likely due to the one-dimensional offense that had trouble moving the ball. Add in an offense line that could not keep the Cowboys off Eli, you have trouble.

Understanding Your Online Sportsbook’s Juice on NFL Games

It didn’t seem to matter to some bettors that the Texans lost to the Titans earlier on Sunday. This is the same Titan team that lost to the Dolphins in Week 1. I am going to keep an eye on this.

Remember that a ton of betting capital comes out of NYC. Angry fans could have thrown the bank against the Giants in a fit of rage. Let’s see how the public plays this one closer to kickoff.

Dallas Cowboys at Seattle Seahawks | Open: SEA -3 | Current: SEA -1.5

Around 7 PM on Sunday, the Seahawks opened as a 3-point home favorite. It stayed that way until some big money moved in on the Cowboys around 10 AM on Tuesday. The money shifted it to -1, but has settled at 1.5. It can be found in Vegas at PK if you look hard enough.

Reason for this move is two-fold. The reciprocal of the Giants as one. The Cowboys nearly dominating the Giants o-line is major. The Seahawks trending down after suffering a 24-17 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

Vegas Odds vs. Offshore Odds, What's Better, What's the Difference?

The Seahawks are hurting right now. They are playing without some key players. One of the league’s best defensive players in LB Bobby Wagner, their best receiver Doug Baldwin as well as two guards, 2 safeties and another linebacker. It is hard to produce with those key losses.

Russell Wilson is one of the best, but even he can’t will this team in its current state.

Who are the Cowboys is my biggest question right now. We have a good idea who the Seahawks are. Dallas lost Week 1 in Carolina 16-8. Then Dak Prescott threw for only 160 yards and 6.4 yards per completion this past Sunday against the Giants.

The Boys did muster 138 yards rushing on 25 attempts, only 17 of which from Zeke Elliott.

Making Your Online Sports Betting Site Work for You

Watch for reports out of Seattle later in the week to see if Wagner and company are practicing. It will affect their availability for Sunday’s matchup.

Seattle is a proud team that have a QB that knows how to win games.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Open: PIT -2.5 | Current: PIT -1

Fitzmagic mania has moved itself into the sports betting world it would seem. OR is this line movement due more to Antonio Brown’s antics to start the week?

The script is flipped on these two teams. The Steelers are 0-2, losing both games as the heavy favorite. The Bucs are 2-0, winning both as the heavy dog.

How to Handicap NFL Football Games

Not having Le’Veon Bell has to be hurting the Steelers offense. James Conner has filled in admirably, but it is not the same. Perhaps the biggest problem facing Pittsburgh is their defense. It’s normally a given that the Steelers will have a strong defense, but this year is looking like the contrary.

After allowing 21 points to the Browns and 42 last week to KC, including 6 Pat Mahomes passing TDs,you have to wonder.

AB was seen sulking on the sidelines during the game, then didn’t show up to team facilities on Monday, sparking trade talk. The Steelers will never trade Brown, but he’s a diva and the team needs to keep him happy and quiet.

How to Read Sports Betting Odds

If the Buccaneers can keep spinning the magic and send the Steelers to 0-3 it will make some waves. The Bucs go to 3-0 that will be another surprise. You never know what can happen next week, so stay tuned. We all watch the NFL for Sunday games and its continuous drama.

There you have the three biggest early line movements for Week 3 of the 2018 NFL season. Stay tuned as we get closer to game time with all the news, notes and information you need to beat the bookie.

Florida Atlantic Owls

Central Florida will be extremely well-rested this Friday. While Florida Atlantic will have enjoyed only five full days off when they take the field again on Friday.

Florida Atlantic beat Bethune-Cookman 49-28 last Saturday. That was behind a school-record five rushing touchdowns from Devin Singletary.

The talented running back finished with 84 yards on the ground. It was on 19 carries while being featured consistently in goal-line situations. He has a Conference-USA record of 16 consecutive games with at least one rushing touchdown.

Chris Robison was 16-for-27 for 171 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Kerrith Whyte Jr. had 100 rushing yards as Florida Atlantic totaled 376 yards on the ground while amassing 559 total yards.

Central Florida Knights

Central Florida has more rushing yards (612) than passing yards (606) through two games this season. The Knights are averaging an impressive 7.4 yards per carry while featuring an incredibly deep backfield.

Six different Central Florida players have double-digit carries. Seven different players have ran for at least 65 yards. Adrian Killins Jr. leads the team with 127 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 17 carries.

The high-powered offense is a well-rounded machine. This was seen on their 38-0 win against South Carolina State on September 8. Quarterback McKenzie Milton wasn't at his best that day. The rushing game and defense got the job done for the Knights.

Milton completed 21 of 39 passes for 243 yards and a touchdown. He threw three interceptions in the first half, which has to change. Luckily, Central Florida held South Carolina State to 80 passing yards and 257 total yards.

They also rushed for 316 yards and four touchdowns on 47 carries. Gabriel Davis had nine catches for 111 receiving yards, the first 100-yard game of his career, and a touchdown.

College Football Trends:

The Florida Atlantic Owls are:

8-18-1 ATS in their last 27 games on grass

1-4 ATS in their last five non-conference games

1-4 ATS in their last five games in September

0-4 ATS in their last four Friday games

The Central Florida Knights are:

4-1 ATS in their last five games in September

6-2 ATS in their last eight after allowing less than 275 total yards in their previous game

5-2-1 ATS in their last eight after allowing less than 170 yards passing in their previous game

Central Florida missed a chance to get another victory last weekend due to Hurricane Florence. They have a 15-game winning streak, which is the longest in the nation. They are scoring more than 30 points in all those games.

The Central Florida offense led the nation in scoring last year. Tt ranks second this season with 609.0 yards of total offense per game. I'm taking the Knights on Friday.

Dodgers Pulling Ahead of Rockies Out West

Dodgers and Rockies are in a Showdown for NL West

The Los Angeles Dodgers have opened up a 1.5-game lead in the battle for the National League West. They are in a slobber-knocker with the Colorado Rockies that will come down the last day of the season. IT SEEMS. Strap yourself in for a wild ride to the MLB Playoffs.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, ESPN, AT&T SportsNet-Rocky Mountain (Colorado), SportsNet LA (Los Angeles)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rockies LH Tyler Anderson (6-9, 4.82 ERA) vs. Dodgers RH Walker Buehler (7-5, 2.88)

Odds: Dodgers -215-moneyline favorites. The total is 7.5 Under -120.

Chris Taylor's first career walk-off homer gave the Los Angeles Dodgers a 1 1/2-game lead over Colorado in the National League West. The Dodgers are in a position for a three-game sweep of the Rockies.

Taylor launched the decisive blast in the 10th inning of Tuesday's 3-2 victory as Los Angeles won for the sixth time in seven games.

Dodgers Would Love to End the Series on High Note

Taylor and Manny Machado each recorded two hits on Tuesday as the Dodgers improved their record against the Rockies this year to 11-7.

Buehler was superb while beating the Cardinals in his last turn. He permitted two hits over eight scoreless innings and matched his season high with nine strikeouts. The rookie has allowed three hits or fewer in four of his last six outings. He is holding opposing hitters to a .201 batting average.

Buehler is 0-1 with a 3.24 ERA in four starts against Colorado. He had a no-decision on Sept. 8 in which he gave up four runs and six hits over six frames.

Justin Turner is 12-for-25 during his seven-game hitting streak and is batting .373 in 59 at-bats this month.

Brian Dozier was hitless in three at-bats on Tuesday and is 2-for-36 over his last 15 contests.

Rockies Need to Salvage One Game of the Series

The Rockies have scored just seven runs while losing four of five to start a nine-game road trip. They enter the series finale 1 1/2 games behind St. Louis for the NL's second wild-card spot.

All-Star shortstop Trevor Story missed Tuesday's game, but could be back in the lineup by the weekend. An MRI detected inflammation but no structural damage to his right elbow.

Anderson is 0-6 during a 12-start stretch since defeating San Francisco on July 4. He also lost to the Giants in his last turn as he gave up two runs and seven hits over six innings.

Anderson lasted just 2 2/3 frames in a loss to the Dodgers on Sept. 9. He yielded three earned runs and five hits in falling to 1-1 with a 3.74 ERA in four starts this season. Anderson is 3-4 with a 4.10 ERA in 11 career outings.

DJ LeMahieu was hitless in five at-bats on Tuesday and is 2-for-19 over his last five games.
