NFL Week 3 Odds, Picks & Predictions: Saints vs. Panthers
Two 55+ yard field goals have been the difference in the Panther’s 0-2 record, and they look to bounce back as they host the Saints this week. Jameis Winston and the Saints, on the other hand, are a roller coaster. A lackluster offensive performance in week 2 followed a late, heroic win versus the Falcons in week 1—no telling what week 3 could bring.
That said, Carolina has allowed the third least passing yards per game but the fourth most rushing yards per game. With some reports saying Kamara is probably playing in week 3, he could be the deciding factor in the final judgment.
In the end, this game will be decided by takeaways. The Saints have turned it over a league-high six times so far, while the Panthers aren’t too far behind with three. Whoever can hold onto the ball will likely win this game.
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.
