The NFL week 3 TV schedule for CBS and Fox has several great sports picks but perhaps the best bet is for the Sunday night football. Here is Bodog previewing the latest NFL odds picks.
First up is the Ravens vs. Browns. After having tough matchups in Week 1 and 2 the Baltimore Ravens finally have a layup on the schedule, the Cleveland Browns.
Although Ray Lewis’ defense has been dominant, the offense has struggled against the equally dangerous defenses of the New York Jets and Cincinnati Bengals, today’s their chance to show they have the offense to be a Super Bowl contender.
Oddsmakers expect the Ravens to win. NFL Odds have them listed as -11 favorites in the Bodog Sportsbook. However, whether they are able to cover will be dependent on the offense. Quaterback Joe Flacco looked ugly versus Cincinnati, tossing four picks in their 15-10 loss. He’ll need to rebound and the run game will have to get back to dominating opponents. They were ranked fifth in rushing yards in 2009, they rank 26th today.
As for the Browns, when you’re hoping for a big day from QB Seneca Wallace and RB Peyton Hillis you know you’ve got problems. They need to keep this game close going into the fourth quarter to have a chance.
The best bet of the week? Without debate, it’s from the LateInfo line. Sept. 25 it was another gift on Stanford; Sept. 19 it was the Dolphins over Vikings. Sept. 18 Nebraska routs Washington, Sept 11 it was Alabama humiliating Penn State, and Sept 4 it was Oregon State covering versus TCU. The LateInfo has not missed. “Big Red” is a major figure and pioneer in offshore betting. He has unique access to professional oddsmakers and gamblers.

Here is another Bodog sports betting preview, this on the Bengals vs. Panthers. The sign of a desperate head coach trying to save his job is such: Replace your starting quarterback with a rookie in Week 3. That’s what Carolina’s John Fox has done, as former Notre Dame star Jimmy Clausen gets the call on Sunday against Cincinnati, with the Bengals as 3.5-point favorites on Bodog’s NFL odds.
Clausen replaces Matt Moore, who was benched after committing six turnovers and guiding two touchdown drives in the first two games – both Carolina losses. In fact, counting the preseason, the Panthers have scored two offensive touchdowns in six games. Clausen came on in relief of Moore in last Sunday’s surprising loss to the Buccaneers and completed 7 of 13 passes for 59 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. And Clausen, who is the fifth rookie QB to start in Panthers history (other four went 2-2) won’t have one of the Panthers’ top offensive lineman to protect him as tackle Jeff Otah still isn’t ready to make his season debut due to a knee injury.
Carolina has arguably the best 1-2 running back tandem in DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart but Carolina ranks just 16th in the NFL with 104 rushing yards per game – last year the Panthers averaged 156 yards a game, third in the NFL.
Clausen will face a Cincy defense that had four interceptions and held Baltimore to 259 yards in a 15-10 win against the Ravens last weekend. And expect a big game from Terrell Owens. He has played the Panthers 15 times and has caught more passes (75) and gained more yards (1,110) against them than any other team. Owens needs 148 yards to pass former Rams great Isaac Bruce into second place on the all-time receiving yards list with 15,209. In an odd stat, Bengals QB Carson Palmer is just 4-6 against rookie QBs.
The Bengals have lost five consecutive road games. Cincinnati has lost two games all-time in Charlotte by combined 79-34.

Now the Redskins vs. Rams. The St. Louis Rams haven’t won a home game since Week 7 of the 2008 NFL season, but a few things might point to the Rams upsetting the Washington Redskins on Sunday. However, the Skins are 4.5-point favorites on Bodog’s NFL odds.
For one thing, the Rams have played the Redskins very tough the past two seasons, albeit those Washington teams didn’t have Donovan McNabb at quarterback. St. Louis lost 9-7 in D.C. last year and beat the Skins there in Week 6 of 2008 – one of the Rams’ three wins since the start of that season. Plus St. Louis is clearly improved despite being 0-2, as its two losses are by a combined six points.
The Rams’ best player, Steven Jackson, will play. He was limited in practice all week with a knee injury but is probable. He has run for 156 yards and caught eight passes for 56 yards so far this year. The injury report definitely favors the Rams as the following players are questionable for the Skins: defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth (ankle), safety LaRon Landry (wrist), running back Clinton Portis (wrist) and left tackle Trent Williams (knee/toe). Landry, by the way, leads the league in tackles, which is pretty impressive for a safety.
Washington has morphed into a passing team with McNabb, as the Skins rank seventh in passing yards in the league and have run the ball only 40 times, the second-fewest in the league, and rank last in the NFL with 107 rushing yards. However, the Rams are third-worst against the run in the league.
Meanwhile, Rams rookie QB Sam Bradford has been OK in his first two starts, as he has four touchdowns, five interceptions and a 57.5 completion percentage through two games. He faces a Washington defense that ranks second-to-last against the pass.
St. Louis has lost 14 games in a row at home, by far the longest streak in the NFL. Washington has covered just once in its past eight as a favorite.
