NFL Week 3 Odds, Picks & Predictions: Packers vs. Buccaneers
Two of the game’s greatest QBsface off in a battle of NFC heavyweights. Such offensive firepower typically expected of Aaron Rodgers’ and Tom Brady’s teams have been absent so far this season, as both quarterbacks have had to deal with receiver rooms devoid of familiar favorites.
Both teams will look to establish the run but expect Tampa to succeed more in the ground game than Green Bay. The Buccaneers’ defense has been historic through two weeks, and the Packers currently lack the personnel to keep the unit on its heels.
Expect Tampa to cover the spread in their home opener and for the Packers to struggle to find any offensive rhythm.
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.
