NFL Week 3 Betting: Philadelphia Eagles at Arizona Cardinals

NFL Week 3 Betting: Philadelphia Eagles at Arizona Cardinals

Two of the unbeaten teams in the National Football League are getting together Sunday in the desert. The Philadelphia Eagles take on the Arizona Cardinals. Philadelphia has two wins; both coming by a single point. The Eagles sneaked out of Cleveland with a win in week one, and then beat the Ravens at home on Sunday. Arizona beat the Seattle Seahawks at home in week one, and then pulled off the biggest upset in week two; winning at the New England Patriots. Both teams lead their respective divisions; the NFC East and NFC West. Arizona is tied with San Francisco.

The Arizona Cardinals started the season with John Skelton at quarterback, but then have turned to Kevin Kolb. Arizona is one of the worst passing teams in the league with just 175 yards per game, but that has not effected them in the win/loss column. The Cardinals defense is allowing just over 320 yards per game. Offensively, Arizona would like to get their top receiver Larry Fitzgerald going. The receiver has yet to reach the end zone, and caught just five passes on the season.

The Philadelphia Eagles would like to see their offense take better care of the football. Through two games, quarterback Michael Vick has thrown eight interceptions. Despite that, the Eagles have two narrow victories. Running back LeSean McCoy has 191 rushing yards and a touchdown to guide the Philadelphia offense. The Eagles rank 2nd in passing yards with 331.5 per game, and 8th in rushing yards with just shy of 140 per game.

Odds and Sports Betting Line

Philadelphia Eagles -4

Arizona Cardinals +4

Free Prediction

This will be an interesting game, with both teams attempting to take control of the NFC, along with San Francisco. The Cardinals are a surprise team, which is playing for the pride of the NFC West, which was terrible a season ago. Look for the Arizona defense to play well early, but then run into some endurance problems against a loaded Philadelphia offense.

Prediction: Philadelphia Eagles 28-17

Free Pick

Despite being on the road, we like the Philadelphia Eagles to cover the spread in this game. Look for Michael Vick to have one of his best games, and take good care of the football. Also, the Arizona offense will have a tough time moving the ball against the Eagles. We like the Eagles to win this game by nearly double digits.

Pick: Philadelphia Eagles -4

NFL Week 3 Betting: St. Louis Rams at Chicago Bears

NFL Week 3 Betting: St. Louis Rams at Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears will host the St. Louis Rams on Sunday in the National Football League. Both teams come into the game with matching 1-1 records. The Bears have a won over Indianapolis and a loss to Green Bay under their belt. The Rams lost at Detroit in week one, and then came back with a win over the Redskins in week two.

The Chicago Bears are looking for protection for their quarterback Jay Cutler. Cutler was sacked numerous times on Thursday night in Green Bay. When he was not knocked down, Cutler was throwing errant passes; four interceptions in the loss. The Bears running back Matt Forte is questionable with an ankle injury. Chicago is tied with the rest of the NFC North for first place in the division.

The St. Louis Rams want to keep Sam Bradford on his feet, and passing the football. Bradford looked solid for the second straight game in the win over Washington. The Rams quarterback hit up Danny Amendola 15 times in the win. St. Louis’ rookie running back Daryl Richardson is getting several carries in the early going; with 103 yards on the season. St. Louis is trailing San Francisco and Arizona; who are both 2-0 in the NFC West.

Odds and Sports Betting Line

St. Louis Rams +9

Chicago Bears -9

Free Prediction

This game will be closer than many people think. In fact, if the Bears do not protect for Cutler, St. Louis and their strong secondary may be able to do what Green Bay did. In the end, we look for the playmakers in Chicago to come away with the home win. We like the Bears to win this game, but St. Louis to make it interesting.

Prediction: Chicago 27-21 St. Louis

Free Pick

The Rams will cover this game. It’s kind of crazy that they are nearly a double digit underdog. What they did to Matthew Stafford, and then coming back from down big early at home last week should not go unnoticed. Look for St. Louis to easily cover this 9 point spread, and give the Bears a home scare.

Pick: St. Louis Rams +9

Both teams are also coming off a playoff berth from a season ago. This season, the Lions beat the Rams in week one, while San Francisco went on the road and beat the Green Bay Packers.

Odds and Sports Betting Line

Detroit Lions +6.5

San Francisco 49ers -6.5

Free Prediction

This game will not be close. We are sorry to those that are Lions fans, but they have no chance in this game. The 49ers seem to be the type of team that will be a juggernaut during the regular season. San Francisco will have get a big lead and coast from there. We are taking the San Francisco 49ers to win this game by two touchdowns.

Prediction: San Francisco 49ers 31-17

Free Pick

The 49ers are just under a touchdown favorite in this game. Detroit is going to have to take care of the ball better if they want any chance at going to the Bay and beating San Francisco. Look for the 49ers defense to be all over the place; wanting to prove that they belong. It will be tough for Detroit, without a dominate running game to hang with the 49ers. We are going to take the San Francisco 49ers -6.5 in this game.

Pick: San Francisco 49ers -6.5
