Are you ready for an exciting Week 3 matchup between the Eagles and the Saints? The Eagles are on their way to New Orleans to face off against one of the most popular Super Bowl contenders. But before you jump on the Saints bandwagon, let’s take a step back and analyze the situation.
First off, the Eagles need to establish their identity and start racking up some wins. They can’t afford to lose another game this early in the season. On the other hand, the Saints seem to have peaked too soon and are heading into this game with some shaky stats. Time to find some value!
Our lock from last week hit, and we’re looking to keep the momentum going. Let’s dive into our Week 3 predictions.
Week 3 Lock:
Dennis Allen, the head coach of the Saints, has a poor track record when it comes to covering as a betting favorite. With just a 36 percent success rate, it’s clear that he struggles under pressure. So, let’s look at the numbers and see how this could play out on Sunday. If you had bet on all of Allen’s favored teams, you would have been down 16 units. That’s a significant trend to keep in mind.
As for the Eagles, they need to tighten up their game after blowing a lead in their last matchup. With Kellen Moore leading the offense, there’s potential for growth and adaptation. The key here will be how they handle the Saints’ offense, particularly Alvin Kamara.
Our best bet for this game is to go with the Eagles at +3 -120 on BetMGM for 1 unit. Let’s see if they can pull off a win against the odds!
Week 3 Long Shot:
If the Eagles want to cover the spread and potentially win, they’ll need to focus on their passing game. This strategy could put the pressure on the Saints and force them into a shootout. By keeping the points coming through the air, the Eagles could surprise their opponents.
We’ve put together a three-leg Same Game Parlay that offers some great odds. Featuring players like Britain Covey, Jalen Hurts, and Rashid Shaheed, this parlay could pay out big if all the pieces fall into place.
Our best bet for the Long Shot is the Same Game Parlay at +2014. It’s a risky play, but the potential rewards are worth it!
