NFL Week 3 Odds, Picks & Predictions: Falcons vs. Seahawks
Two of the worst teams in the NFC will meet in Seattle in an afterthought of a matchup in comparison to the rest of the week three slate.
The Seahawks upset victory over Denver in week one will likely be the highlight of their season, and the Falcons will probably be searching for such a high throughout the year. Despite having such low stakes, this game will likely be competitive throughout.
Expect Atlanta to find success rushing the ball versus an exploitable Seattle front-seven, and be hopeful that the Falconscano get TE Kyle Pitts involved in this matchup. Conversely, Atlanta will struggle to match up with WRs DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.
Expect points in this game, and for the Seahawks to cover a short spread in Atlanta’s second consecutive game on the west coast.
What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting “against the spread†refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
