NFL Week 3 ATS Picks Analysis

Baltimore Ravens at Jacksonville Jaguars

When: September 24, 2017 at 9:30 AM ET Where: Wembley Stadium, London NFL Odds: Baltimore -4 Total: 40.5 Analysis: Veteran Joe Flacco tossed two TD passes and the Baltimore Ravens forced five turnovers for the second straight game in their 24-10 Week 2 win over Cleveland and now they look like they’re going to spank a Jacksonville Jaguars team that reverted back to its mostly incompetent ways in their 37-16 Week 2 loss to AFC South rival Tennessee. Blake Bortles was back to his usual self in completing just 20 of 34 for 223 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions as Jacksonville fell apart in the second half after trailing 6-3 at halftime and now the Jags don’t look like they have any chance whatsoever to beat the Ravens or cover the NFL betting line even as a home underdog. Baltimore may be 2-6 ATS in its last eight road games, but I like them to put a dent in those trend by smacking the Jaguars senseless when the battle on the other side of the pond. The Jaguars have lost nine of their last dozen meetings against the Ravens, making Baltimore the easy pick to win in London. Expert NFL Week 3 Pick: Baltimore -4

NFL Week 3 Must Bet Games

Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) at L.A. Chargers (0-2)

When: Sunday, September 24, at 4:25 PM ET Where: StubHub Center NFL Odds: LA Chargers +2.5 Total: 45.5 Analysis: The Kansas City Chiefs keep finding ways to win games while the Los Angeles Chargers keep finding new ways to lose in heartbreaking fashion, generally by a touchdown or less. The Chiefs moved to 2-0 by beating Philadelphia 27-20 as Kareem Hunt broke free for a 53-yard touchdown run with 1:20 remaining in the third quarter to give the Chiefs a 13-10 lead they would never give up after a tight first half. Veteran quarterback Alex Smith completed 21 of 28 passes while tight end Travis Kelcie caught eight passes for 103 yards and one score. The Chargers fell to Miami as Fins kicker Cody Parkey nailed his fourth field goal of the game from 54 yards out with just 65 seconds remaining. Veteran quarterback Philip Rivers completing 31 of 39 passes for 282 yards with a touchdown. Kansas City has won six straight over Los Angeles and will make it seven in a row by controlling Rivers and company while getting just enough offense from Alex Smith and company to make another win stand up. The Chiefs are also 5-2 ATS in their last seven games against the Chargers and 5-1 ATS in their last six road dates against the Bolts! It’s that simple people! Expert NFL Week 3 Pick: Kansas City -2.5

L.A. Rams (1-1) at San Francisco (0-2)

When: September 21, 2017 at 8:25 PM ET Where: Levi’s Stadium NFL Odds: San Francisco +2.5 Total: 41 Todd Gurley is looking better. He comes from a 88 YDS/1 TD against Washington.   Analysis: Los Angeles put up a good effort in Week 2 but ended up on the wrong side of a narrow 27-20 Week 2 loss against Washington despite failing to cover the spread as a 3-point favorite. San Francisco got pounded by Carolina in its 23-3 Week 1 loss as a 4.5-point home underdog but put up a great effort before narrowly falling to Seattle 12-9 in Week 2 while easily covering the spread as a 13.5-point road dog. For this Week 3 affair, I’m going to advise you to back the Rams team that has clearly been revitalized by the arrival of new head coach Sean McVay. The Rams are ranked an encouraging fifth in scoring (33.0 ppg) and equally impressive 10th in points allowed (18.0 ppg) while San Francisco is ranked a pitiful 30th in scoring (6.0 ppg) despite ranking an impressive ninth in points allowed (17.5 ppg). The Niners may be playing at home, but I’m going to urge you to back the Rams, simply because they’re the only team in this contest with a competent quarterback. If Frisco wants to continue trying to win games with Brian Hoyer, well, let’s just say it’s going to take a miracle for that to happen, while suddenly, Jared Goff looks really good by completing 66.7 percent of his passes with two touchdowns and just one interception while throwing for 530 yards through two games. Expert NFL Week 3 Pick: Rams -2.5
