NFL Football Handicapping
NFL Week 3 Recap
The favorites returned to glory back in Week 2 of the NFL season, but their reign at the top didn't last very long. The underdogs bit back hard in Week 3 as the favorites tanked across the board ATS. Back in Week 2 the favorites were a respectable 11-5 ATS. Things were practically reversed in Week 3 as favorites took a dive and posted a pathetic 4-9 mark ATS (all results prior to Monday night game). Things looked a lot better straight-up where the favorites were able to maintain some respectability. In Week 3 the favorites were 8-5 SU, which is almost on par with the 12-4 SU mark they posted in Week 2. The Week 3 slump has caused the overall season numbers to drop considerably. The favorites are now only 21-24 ATS for the season, but things still look all right SU, where the favorites are 29-16. Home teams showed a resurgence back in Week 2, but just like the favorites they came crashing back down to earth in Week 3. The home teams were a disappointing 5-8 ATS in Week 3, down from 11-5 ATS in Week 2. Things were even worse straight up. Back in Week 2 the home teams made the most out of home-field advantage and went 12-4 SU. In Week 3, the home teams gave their fans very little to cheer about with a 3-10 record SU. That means for the season home teams are 19-26 ATS and 20-25 SU. Totals bettors didn't see much off a change between Week 2 and 3. Back in Week 2, offenses started to get in gear and that resulted in a 7-7-2 over/under mark. The offense continued to get better in Week 3, but some strong defensive efforts levelled out the playing field causing an over/under mark of 7-5-1. Despite two straight weeks of overs winning out, the season over/under mark continues to favor the UNDER at 18-24-3.
