In a surprising turn of events, the Buffalo Bills have exceeded expectations while the Jacksonville Jaguars have fallen short. The betting spread is on the verge of skyrocketing, so it is advised to bet on Buffalo before it is too late. NFL analyst Jason Logan delves into the potential targets for Week 3 games, both for immediate bets and ones to consider later on.
We have all experienced the frustration of losing bets by a mere half-point. As the NFL odds become more competitive with each passing play, the key to successful betting lies in securing the best possible odds for your predictions. This may involve placing bets early on opening lines or waiting for the market to shift later in the week.
This is where my expertise comes into play.
Every Sunday night, fresh odds are served up, allowing me to recommend spreads and totals to bet on now (anticipating rapid line movements) and some to consider later (predicting market shifts and public sentiments) with your NFL picks.
The Buffalo Bills are enjoying a short break before their Monday Night Football showdown after a dominant performance against Miami last Thursday. Buffalo displayed excellence on both offense and defense and will now face a Jacksonville Jaguars team in dire need of a win after starting the season with two close losses.
While some bookies initially set the Bills as a -5 favorite, other operators are now favoring them by six points at home. With the rest advantage and the general perception of the Bills improving, it is likely that this spread could close at -6.5 or even -7.
Jacksonville has struggled to score, only managing a total of 30 points in the first two weeks and faltering in the red zone with a 3-for-7 conversion rate. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence has faced challenges due to poor pass protection, resulting in seven sacks in two games.
If the Bills, who have scored 65 points in two games, continue their offensive prowess, the Jaguars will struggle to keep up. It is advisable to bet on the Bills before the spread reaches a key number.
In terms of odds, the best time to bet on the Bills at -5 is right now.
Moving on to the New York Giants, it is clear that they will need a significant points advantage to secure a win. Opening as +6.5 or +7 underdogs against the Cleveland Browns in Week 3, the Giants face an uphill battle to convince bettors of their potential.
The Giants’ disappointing 0-2 start to the season has put head coach Brian Daboll in a precarious position, especially after his emotional outburst during a narrow loss to Washington. New York appears disorganized, which could push the spread to +7.5.
Despite a shaky performance against the Jaguars, Cleveland managed to eke out a win, with their offense struggling to find its rhythm. The Browns’ inability to capitalize on red zone opportunities and the high number of penalties suggest they may not have what it takes to cover such a large spread, even against a struggling Giants team. Betting on the Giants at +7 now and later at +7.5 could be a wise move.
The total for this matchup already seems low, considering the Steelers’ playing style.
