NFL Week 3 odds and picks Aaron Rodgers

If you asked me to describe Week 2 with just one word, I'd have to go with "ouch." Acro s the league, we saw a number of key stars from to to all suffer season-ending injuries over the course of the weekend. And that was really just the tip of the hobbled iceberg. As we go back to the table to determine how we see Week 3 unfolding, these injuries must be accounted for and will undeniably alter how we view some teams going forward. Before we put our full attention to the Week 3 slate, however, let's do a quick victory lap on the strong week that was. If you followed along with me , our "Locks of the Week" went 5-0 on the moneyline and 4-1 against the spread. It was a strong week overall and a much-needed rebound after a so-so start in Week 1. Now, we're looking to cash even more over this slate and, without further ado, here' are our locks for Week 3. L.A. at Buffalo 1:00 p.m. ET (FOX) Point spread: -2 Both the Rams and Bills enter this game 2-0 on the season, but Los Angeles has certainly had the tougher road to this point, beating Dallas and Philadelphia to start the Mickey Mantle Jersey year. While has impre sed in the early goings of 2020, lighting up the and through the air isn't exactly the toughest task the league has to offer. I expect that heightened level of competition headlined by and brings Allen back down to earth a bit and has me leaning toward taking Los Angeles and the points. Under Sean McVay, the Rams are 7-1 ATS/SU when playing in the Eastern Time Zone. More specifically, they are 2-0 ATS/SU as an underdog under this scenario and 5-0 ATS/SU when the game falls in the 1 p.m. ET time slot. Pick: L.A. Rams and the points Scoreprediction: L.A. Rams 24, Buffalo 20 Chicago at Atlanta 1 p.m. ET (FOX) Point spread:Atlanta -3.5 The last time you had an 0-2 team as a field goal (3+) favorite over a 2-0 team was way back in 2008 Aaron Judge Jersey when the were favored over Carolina. For what it's worth, Minnesota covered. Atlanta is trying to do the very same thing this week and bounce back after that monumental collapse against Dallas in Week 2. Luckily for Dan Quinn, I think they do that against a team that isn't as good as their record suggests. and the offense will be able to put up points against Chicago's defense and I don't believe Mitch Trubisky will be able to keep up. Over their last seven contests dating back to last season, Brett Gardner Jersey the Bears are 1-6 ATS on the road. Pick: Atlanta -3.5 Scoreprediction: Atlanta 28, Chicago 17 Tenne see at Minnesota 1 p.m. ET (CBS) Point spread:Tenne see -2.5 appears to be falling apart at the seams and the Vikings defense -- that really wasn't anything to write home about in the first place -- just lost linebacker for the season. When Barr was off the field last season, the Vikings allowed 5.5 yards per carry compared to just four yards per carry when he was on. That should spell good things for after an overall quiet outing in Week 2. Despite being 2-0 on the season, Tenne see has yet to cover the spread this season. That will change this week, however, as Minnesota is 4-11 ATS against teams entering the contest with a winning record since 2018, the lowest mark in the NFL. Pick: Tenne see -2.5 Scoreprediction: Tenne see 28, Minnesota 17 Green Bay at New Orleans 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC) Point spread:New Orleans -3 There's arguably no team hotter in the NFC than the . They've dropped back-to-back 40-plus point outings to begin 2020 and at 2-0 ATS/SU. While has historically been strong against Rodgers (3-1 ATS, 2-2 SU), it does appear like the quarterback may be losing a step at age 41. Even if he does get back for this contest, the Packers are running too hot to fade right now. Green Bay is also 4-1 SU/ATS as an underdog since the start of last season. Sprinkling a little bit on the moneyline here at +150 may not be a bad play. Pick: Green Bay and the points Scoreprediction: Green Bay 28, New Orleans 24 Miami at Jacksonville Thursday, Sept. 24, 8:20 p.m. ET (NFLN) Point spread:Jacksonville -3 Minshew Mania has bled into 2020 and it's a glorious sight to behold. The second-year quarterback is now set to host the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night and finds himself in a pretty appealing spot. Road Aaron Hicks Jersey teams have historically struggled on Thursday Night Football, covering just 38% of their games over the last five seasons. Specifically for the Dolphins, they are on a four-game losing streak SU and ATS on Thursday night. also doesn't have the greatest history in primetime, owning a 4-10 ATS record as a starter.
