NFL Week 3 Picks: Who is the BetSided Community Backing?
Week 3 of the NFL season is here!
Everyone here at BetSided has given you all of our picks, prop bets, and everything else you could need to bet on this week's slate.
But now, it's time to hear who YOU, the BetSided community, is backing to win this week.
I asked people on Twitter for their best bets, so let's take a look at who their responses.
Chiefs vs. Colts Pick
Colts. Perception of both teams in that game is off
— Ham Swaggerty (@DiscGawlfer) September 21, 2022
I'm going to agree with Mr. Ham Swaggerty on this one. I wrote about how this is a great buy low opportunity on the Indianapolis Colts. They outplayed the Texans in Week 1, despite ending in a tie, and they played what will end up being their worst game of the season in Week 2 against the Jaguars.
I'm not sure if Colts cover, but I'll take them to cover the spread as underdogs.
Packers vs. Buccaneers Pick
Bucs -1.5…The Pack is not back because they beat the Bears…Bucs defense will make the difference
— Shawn Mitchelson (@dasoxfan24) September 21, 2022
Interesting play! Let's not forget that Buccaneers have failed to score a touchdown in the first half yet this season. Does their offense get rolling in Week 3?
NFL Week 3 Best Underdog Pick
Gonna be a big week for dogs!
— blind tailer picks (@BlindTailer) September 21, 2022
I’m on the Colts, Panthers, Texans, Falcons and Packers one way or another
Underdogs have covered at a higher rate so far this season, going 18-13-1 against the spread. Does the trend continue in Week 3? Blind Tailer Picks seems to think so.
Bengals vs. Jets Pick
Jets +4.5 is an interesting one. Bengals still seem a little overrated to me, and the Jets a little underrated. Also, the Bengals actually lost away to NYJ last year on Halloween in the midst of a very good season
— Chalk & Talk (@TheChalkAndTalk) September 21, 2022
The Bengals have been one of the biggest disappointments throughout the first two weeks of the NFL season. Joe Burrow getting sacked 13 times in two games certainly doesn't help. I'm on the Bengals in this one, but I could see the Jets getting the better of them.
Eagles vs. Commanders Pick
Wsh ML
— Jordy "Best Bet" (@TheSportsManJC) September 21, 2022
I LOVE a good "fade the hot team upset pick", and that's exactly what Jordy is giving us. Respect.
Washington
— Bill Cygan (@Cygan181) September 21, 2022
Philly mnf looked great in a spotlight game...skins crushed by lions??? Extra day rest and divisional game. I'll give it a shot even though it might be a square theory.
We have another brave soul backing the Commanders! Because that's their name now, Bill. They're the Commanders.
Bills vs. Dolphins Pick
Bills steamroll the Fins. Dolphins very overrated
— kevin fryman (@KevinFryman) September 21, 2022
I mentioned earlier how I wrote that the Colts are a good buy low team. I also wrote the Dolphins as a great sell high team. I agree Kevin, Dolphins aren't as good as the comeback would indicate. For example, they're allowing the most yards per pass attempt in the NFL right now.
Saints vs. Panthers Pick
Panthers +3. You broke it down well on the podcast in taking the ML when it comes to the stats.
— Benny (@3rdAndBen) September 21, 2022
Back against the wall, home divisional matchup sitting at 0-2. Should be a tight game down the stretch. Lean the under too.
Shoutout to Benny for giving my podcast a shoutout. Yes, I am on the Panthers to win outright, and you can listen to my full breakdown on this week's episode of the Bacon Bets Podcast here.
49ers vs. Broncos Pick (Sunday Night Football)
49ers -1.5 (-105)
— cody wells (@codywells1981) September 21, 2022
I'm a Denver fan, they're awful. Hackett is the worst coach I have ever seen.
San Francisco with Jimmy G should dominate this game.
I was one of the lucky ones who managed to hop on the 49ers as underdogs when the lines first released on Sunday. But yes, I like San Francisco even more with Jimmy G at QB.
NFL Week 3 Parlay Pick
Colts +7, Bengals -4.5, 49ers -1.5 & Vikings -5.5. Colts getting 7 at home is a massive overreaction, Bengals desperation spot vs a truly bad football team, 49ers due to Broncos pure incompetence and getting Vikings under the key # of 6 at home with a significantly better roster
— Cody Garbrandt’s Chin (@MMAfan1999) September 21, 2022
Uh oh. I agree with every single one of those picks. I don't know if that's a good sign or not...
Cowboys vs. Giants Pick (Monday Night Football)
NYG -2.5. Cooper Rush doesn't catch lightning in a bottle twice. Especially on a road rivalry game. Especially in primetime
— Cole DeShazer (@hcdeshazer) September 21, 2022
I don't know about that! Cooper Rush has actually been solid when he's played so far in his career. 60% completion percentage. Four touchdowns to only one interception. He's 2-0 when he starts. Rush might not be as bad as we all assume he is....
Best NFL Tweet of the Week Pick
Frank Reich o9.5 stupid play calls
— Matt M. (@IndyMofro) September 21, 2022
Best bet of the week comes from Matt M.
