A Look at the Top Week 3 Predictions and NFL Odds Preview
Week 3 Sunday, September 25, 2016
Arizona (-2.5) at Buffalo
The Cardinals enter the 2016 season looking to improve on their playoff fortunes after failing to reach Super Bowl 50 despite winning an impressive 13 games during the regular season. Um…unfortunately, the same certainly can’t be said about Rex Ryan and the Buffalo Bills. After the loud-mouthed head coach made a ton of boisterous claims in his inaugural season in Buffalo a year ago, the Bills promptly underachieved en route to a modest 8-8 finish that looks even worse when you consider AFC East rival, the New York Jets, won 10 games in Todd Bowles’ first season. I know the Cardinals are on the road in this matchup, but it won’t matter much as they are the better team on both sides of the ball and have a huge advantage in the coaching department with Bruce Arians being infinitely better than Ryan ever will be. Not only did Arizona rank second in scoring a year ago (30.6 ppg) and seventh in points allowed (19.6 ppg) but Carson Palmer and company have also won four of their last six road games while covering the NFL betting line in each SU victory. While Buffalo won their last four home games a year ago and covered the spread each time, they also dropped their three previous home dates while failing to cover. Arizona wins by at least a field goal to shut Rex Ryan up. Then again…is that even possible? The Pick: Arizona 24 Buffalo 21#BeRedSeeRed pic.twitter.com/ENbi46zrDb
