2021 NFL: 11-8, +2.98u
*NFL(1u): Packers -3(+100) @ Bengals–Noon CT
The Bengals have started the year 3-1, and the future is undeniably bright with Joe Burrow leading the way, but I’m not ready to crown them yet just because they beat Jacksonville, Pittsburgh, and Minnesota. The Packers come into this one off 3 straight wins, and I like the way Aaron Rodgers has responded after a dismal Week 1 performance. The Packers are the more complete team at this point, and I think the market has overreacted to the Bengals’ success this season.
*NFL(1u): WFT +8.5 vs Saints AND Panthers +3 vs Eagles(-110)–Noon CT
Washington picked up a gutsy road win in Atlanta last week, and I believe Taylor Heinicke will be able to carry that momentum into today. WFT’s pass defense has been suspect at best this year, but Jameis Winston has a history with INT issues, and the Saints WR corps has yet to solidify itself. I’m not saying WFT will pull off the outright upset, but I do think this will be a one possession game. I’m going to continue playing against the Eagles until they give me a reason not to. While they did play Kansas City close for the majority of last week’s game, I’m not ready to trust Jalen Hurts in any spot right now, especially on the road against one of the more underrated teams in the league. Sam Darnold should have a chance at hitting on some deep balls today, and I’m willing to bet he hits on some of those chunk plays and gets the Panthers to 4-1.
