Best Games to hit an NFL Parlay in Week 3

There’s no better way to amp up your betting winnings than hitting both ends of an NFL Parlay in Week 3. In a competition with as much parity as the National Football League, hitting on a pair of games can be tricky. Imagine if you had laid a bunch of money down on the Dallas Cowboys against Denver in the wake of their demolition of the New York Giants in Week One. We’ve looked at some of the trends from the first couple of weeks of regular season action and have two different NFL betting picks to parlay on.

Brunch Edition

Baltimore (-4) over Jacksonville (in London) / Philadelphia (-6) over N.Y. Giants

Start your morning by watching the Baltimore Ravens dominate the Jacksonville Jaguars across the Atlantic Ocean, in the majestic confines of Wembley Stadium. The Jaguars did take apart Houston in the season opener, but the Texans entered that game thinking that Tom Savage is a legitimate starting quarterback in the NFL – a mistake that they only persisted in maintaining for a half of football. Baltimore’s defense is more than enough to contain Leonard Fournette by stacking eight men in the box and daring Blake Bortles to throw the ball down the field. The Ravens’ secondary can provide coverage until the rush gets to Bortles – or until he makes a mistake and throws a pick. The Jacksonville defense got exposed badly by Tennessee last week – and DeMarco Murray didn’t even have that big a day for the Titans. Joe Flacco has returned from a season of injury and another season of timidity with resolve, and his passes are looking crisp. If the Ravens approach the game with the same methodical drive that they used to overwhelm Cincinnati and Cleveland in the first two games, they should have no trouble winning — and covering — against Jacksonville. NFL Parlay Pick: Baltimore Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles

However, the Detroit Lions went to New York and shut down the Giants, 24-10. Yes, New York found the end zone in this game (unlike the opener), but they only found it once. Eli Manning had a lot of time in the pocket (his average seconds from snap to snack was 4.8, longer than the NFL average), but his receivers simply could not get open. Given how much the Giants paid to bring in Brandon Marshall, that is not a good sign for the G-Men. Philadelphia took Kansas City to the limit in their Week Two tilt, and it was a late interception by the Chiefs that ended up sealing matters. Carson Wentz continues to spin away from trouble and buy time to make big plays down the field, and once LeGarrette Blount settles into the Eagles’ running game, this could be the team that slides past Dallas into that division throne. I see the Eagles winning this home game over New York handily.

Afternoon Delight

Green Bay (-9) over Cincinnati / Kansas City (-3) over L.A. Chargers

People are actually talking about the Bengals going out and signing Colin Kaepernick now to take over the offense for Andy Dalton. That’s because the Bengals didn’t score a touchdown in either of their first two games, and they’ve already fired their offensive coordinator. Backup AJ McCarron waits on the bench, but until the Bengals start blocking up front, tailback Joe Mixon won’t have any holes to run through — and there will be nothing to take the pressure off whoever takes the snaps. On defense, the Bengals have looked average at best, and as the frustration builds, you can expect that production to slip. Enter a Green Bay team that will get to host this game and take out all of that frustration that had to pile up during their big loss in Atlanta on Sunday. Aaron Rodgers did pile up some good numbers in the second half, but the game was mostly out of hand by then. The Packers will be looking for a team to take to the woodshed, and the Bengals arrive just in time. Give me the Packers to cover here. NFL Parlay Pick: Green Bay Packers

They did this, ostensibly, to make it easier for their fan base to make it to games in the interim, before their sparkling new stadium opens, but we saw this past Sunday that opposing fans like to visit just as much. The sounds during the Miami-L.A. game sounded like the game was taking place in South Florida. So the Chargers get none of the bounce that you would expect from a home game. Then there’s the fact that Alex Smith is firing on all cylinders with that Chiefs’ offense right now. It’s like he read all of the clippings that have been published in the past decade with criticism of him as a game-managing, check-down-throwing, timid quarterback who won’t throw the ball down the field and has come out ready to show the world what he can do — and the results have been magnificent. I see the Chiefs winning big out in Southern California. NFL Parlay Pick: Kansas City Chiefs
