NFL Week 3 Odds, Picks & Predictions: Raiders vs. Titans
Both teams have had little success running the ball, ranking in the bottom third of the league in rush offense DVOA and yards per game. This isn’t much of an issue for the Raiders as QB Derek Carr and the receivers are the offense’s focal point. If the offensive line can keep Carr on his feet and he limits mistakes, they can exploit a Titans’ coverage that ranks 26th in pass defense DVOA through two weeks.
For Tennessee, moving the ball on the ground is paramount. If they can’t move the ball against Las Vegas, who limited the Chargers and Cardinals in the run game, they won’t be able to open up the passing game and will struggle to put up points on this Raiders defense. The Titans’ offense is sputtering, and if they can’t find themselves soon, this season could get out of hand.
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.
