Week 3 NFL Odds - Betting On The Home Dogs - BetUS Sportsbook

Only two favorites
covered the spread last week but one of them
happened to be the Dallas Cowboys, as the home-dog
Miami Dolphins were unable to show up at home.
Here’s a look at this
week’s three home dogs and their prospects
in Week 3 of NFL wagering and football lines
action:
Indianapolis Colts @ Houston Texans (+7)
This is an interesting NFL betting matchup which
has a little kick to it now that Andre Johnson,
the Houston Texans top receiving threat, will
miss the game.
The line hasn’t
moved much even though he is listed as doubtful,
mostly because the Texans beat Indianapolis
last year with inferior weapons.
Expect the Texans
to run the ball a lot, like they did in the
last meeting, in an effort to keep the Indianapolis
Colts offense off the field. The Texans defense
isn’t necessarily better
this time around talent-wise, but they are playing
like a much more confident unit.
Texans left tackle, Eric
Winston, shutdown Julius Peppers last week on
the road and his task will be equally as difficult
this week against Dwight Freeney. If he can neutralize
him, the Texans should be able to move the ball
on the ground with Ron Dayne and Ahman Green
and stay within arms-reach of the Colts. NFL
Free Pick: Houston Texans
San Diego Chargers @ Green Bay Packers (+4.5)
The San Diego Chargers are basically favored
on reputation this week as they face their second
NFC North team in three weeks.
To be honest, though,
Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers hasn’t
played a solid game since last October and
he heads into Lambeau this week. The Packers
defense has been impressive to date this season
but will get a stiff test with LaDainian Tomlinson
this week.
The Packers are
simply overmatched here, particularly with
their offense going up against a stinging Chargers
defense. The Packers will accomplish nothing
on the ground and put the burden on Brett Favre’s
shoulders. Look for him to cough up a couple
of turnovers after looking stellar in the previous
two weeks.
Whoever gets the turnovers
will win and the Chargers, who got burned badly
on national television last week, will want to
prove that they are better than that. NFL
Free Pick: San Diego Chargers
Carolina Panthers @ Atlanta Falcons (+4.5)
The Jekyll and
Hyde of the NFC heads into Atlanta in what
used to be a difficult matchup for them. Michael
Vick had their number but now they don’t
have to deal with him.
The key for the
Panthers in the first two weeks of the season
has been their running game. When it is working,
they can compete (see: Week 1). When it is
shutdown, the Panthers become one-dimensional
and unproductive (see: Week 2). Atlanta’s
run defense is ranked 23rd and DeShaun Foster
loves playing against the Falcons. He has 452
rushing yards and two touchdowns in his last
four contests versus Atlanta. NFL
Free Pick:
Carolina Panthers
