Week 3 NFL Picks Against the Spread (ATS): Trifone

Here are my Week 3 picks against the spread:

San Diego Chargers +2.5 over Buffalo Bills (5 units)

The Bills surprised me with an impressive win over Miami, but I think Week 3 they will lose their first game. The Chargers are looking more and more like the Super Bowl contending team that they were a few years ago. Philip Rivers has been great, and I like them to win this one on the road.

Indianapolis Colts -7 over Jacksonville Jaguars (4 units)

The Colts have had a bad start to the year, but going to Jacksonville is just what the doctor ordered. The Jags have been a complete mess and have been outscored 75-10 in the last six quarters. The Colts will be desperate for a win, and it doesn’t appear Jacksonville has the talent to stop them.

San Francisco 49ers -3 over Arizona Cardinals (3 units)

If Carson Palmer were starting, I’d probably stay away from this game. Although Drew Stanton looked pretty good Week 2, the Niners are a horse of a different color (than the Giants). I like Colin Kaepernick to have a bounce-back week, and the Cardinals offense to struggle so I’ll give the three on the road.

New England Patriots vs. Oakland Raiders — Under 46.5 (3 units)

The Patriots defense shouldn’t have much trouble with a pretty weak Oakland offense. I see this as a 30-6 kind of game. Although the Patriots will likely put up points, I’m skeptical of Oakland putting too many up. Even a 30-14 game goes under, so I’ll take it with some confidence.
