Week 3 Selections

Arizona +3

Kyler Murray looks healthy and hungry. The Cardinals running game and offensive line make them very difficult to defend.  I think the cardinals get more stops and force more kicking.  Home Dog with bite. 

Saints ML -130

Philly looks soft and poorly coached.  Sirianni maybe losing the room. 
The saints and this offensive line are rolling and I do not see it slowing down at HOME.  

Vikings +3 -120

Sam Darnold + Coach O’Connell = underrated and undervalued 

I am currently looking at the Steelers and may bet them as well. 

GL  on your plays @Lucky Luciano 

@Macwestie1

 Thanks Mac 

Good luck LL.  

@D-Town

 Thanks D

 Pittsburgh ML

2 similar teams that like to run the ball and play solid DEFENSE!  I saw my Giants win Super Bowls with this formula many moons ago.  I miss Tom Coughlin, the last Giant coach who could assemble an offensive line. I am not saying these are 2 Super Bowl teams but they could play spoiler on any given Sunday.  The Chargers have the better O line and Pitt has the better D Line and at home I expect them to get off. This game will come down to which Justin makes the plays in the 4th quarter and I like Fields and his rushing ability to extend drives and make plays.  The Steelers lost the home opener last year and I don’t see Tomlin letting it happening again.  

Good Luck 

Good luck Lucky!

I always value your pick

Saints

I like betting on teams heading in different directions.  The Saints offense has been great, well balanced and it makes you cover the entire field. The Offensive line is the most improved unit they are Athletic and come off the ball in a hurry.  Kamara looks good again  Nobody is really talking about The Defense led by Head Coach Allen. The D is flying around and attacking the ball.  LB Willie Gay was a fantastic pick up and he has the speed to spy on Hurts.  Philly is 2-7 the last 9 games and they lost some of the interior of their O line.  What was a strength is now not so much.  2 Teams and Trenches heading in different directions.  Philly is giving up over 6 yards a carry, Vic Fangio leans on a 4 man rush that is not getting home.  Saints make a statement at home!

@Lucky Luciano

Vikings

Sam Darnold and Oconnell seem like a good match, 2nd in yards per play. They are well balanced and the O line has been good the 1st 2 weeks.  The Defense has also improved, DC Flores did loose DE Hunter (now on the Texans) but he brought in some other dogs that fit in his zone blitzing style.  CB's Steph Gilmore and Shaq Griffin / LB's Cashman, Greenard and VanGinkle and DT Jerry Tillery  ALL upgrades and all fitting in nicely. I expect the crowd noise to help the Blitzing pass rush get off the ball in a hurry and get pressure on Stroud.  I have to ride with the home dog in this spot.   

Cardinals

Goff has not looked good vs suspect competition.  He is not making the throws and there has been an extreme drop off in production. Kyler Murray has looked great with his perfect passer rating last week.  2 QBs starting the season much differently.  The lions can rush it and will rush it well, will it lead to TD's? the Cardinals run D has held 2 rushing offenses to 3.4 ypc much better than last year. The Lions struggled vs mobile QB's last year vs Justin Fields and Lamar Jackson they averaged over 30 points a game and  expect that to continue with Murray at home playing with confidence and new weaponry.  

31-23 Cards 

GL today and great call on Tennessee! You're right about Goff at least based on what I saw last week against the Bucs, just didn't look good. We know the AZ secondary has issues but the Bucs were without Antoine Winfield, their best secondary player. GL Lucky!
