Looking for a few bets to make the games today a little more interesting? If you are casual like us and enjoy splitting a $20 bill into a few fun bets that hopefully hit (or at least wash), here's a few to consider before kickoff at 1pm EST.
(Note: All Odds Subject To Change)
Saints (-3.5) @ Carolina (+3.5)
O/U 45.5
Fanduel Sportsbook
Line/Points Parlay
Carolina (+3.5) and Over +280
$5/$14.00 Payout
Saints have a great defense but several players are out due to injury and seven more players and coaches listed as inactive due to CoVid protocols. The Saints do have a solid offense but the Panthers have a passing-grade defense and a new spark with Christian McCaffrey healthy in the lineup. Jameis Winston looked good in the opener against Green Bay but not much was required of him in the passing game, and the 5 TDs on 20 attempts is not likely to happen against the Panthers. My reasoning, if the NYG/WFT game hit their over, this game will certainly hit the over, and with the home and active-players advantage I like Carolina for the money line. Parlaying it boosts your odds to +280, but you could take the Saints instead and the odds go down to +270.
Broncos To Win By 14+ vs Jags
Fanduel Sportsbook
BOOSTED (CO Only) +350
$5/$17.50 Payout
The Jags are in absolute disarray, especially defensively. The Broncos defense is primed to take advantage of rookie mistakes by Trevor Lawrence, and the Broncos offense is clicking (enough) to put it on a defense that really struggled with basic concepts against one of the worst offenses in the NFL last week. Don't expect the Jags D to self destruct quite that bad again, and Lawrence will test the Denver defensive backs late in the game as he tries to cut the deficit they will most likely be in. 14+ is a lot to win by in the NFL, but with boosted +350 odds, if you are in the Colorado market this is a fun way to triple your money while rooting for the Broncos in their easiest matchup of the year.
Tennessee (+5.5) and Over (54.5)
Fanduel Sportsbook
Line/Points Parlay +300
$5/$15 Payout
The Titans looked terrible against the Cardinals last week and the Seahawks beat up on a Colts team that just isn't very good. I think everyone is fading the Titans too much, Derrick Henry plus the passing attack are going to open up without Tannehill getting sacked 6 times, and this game will be much more of a shootout than expected. Look for the over to be hit and at +300, the Titans at +5.5 is a no-brainer for me.
