Dallas Cowboys-Houston, 49ers-Chiefs, Texans and Bills-Patriots NFL schedule preview from Bodog

Let’s start out with the game pro bettors say is the best bet of the day and the NFL week 3 odds.

Night Football and oddsmakers have decided to make Kansas City +2.5 underdogs in the Bodog Sportsbook.

The questions that prevent the Chiefs from truly getting “2-0 respect” is their offense. Kansas City has two touchdowns so far, quarterback Matt Cassel can’t pass it more than five yards and head coach Todd Haley seems dead set on relegating his best weapon, running back Jamaal Charles, to a backup role. Instead Haley is using 32-year-old Thomas Jones to push the pile, opting for Jones’ slow-and-steadiness (Jones averages 3.7 yards per carry) over Charles’ explosiveness (Charles averages 6.4).

Meanwhile, the Niners are coming and considering how pissed coach Mike Singletary gets after losses (the Niners lost to New Orleans 25-22 in Week 2), they will be itching to vent all their anger at Arrowhead Stadium.

Expect a steady dose of RB Frank Gore, as the Niners want to prevent quarterback Alex Smith from throwing whenever possible.

With oddsmakers listing the Total at 36.5, don’t expect a lot of scoring in this one.

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 Houston Texans passed their first test in Week 1 — take out AFC South bully Indianapolis. Now it’s the Dallas Cowboys, their interstate big brother. We don’t think we’re overselling this matchup when we say it has huge implications for either side.

NFL Odds have listed the Texans as -3 favorites at home, but the Cowboys can’t lose this game. Despite having the all-world talent on paper, the Cowboys are 0-2 on the season and against the spread. A loss could mean 0-3, no Super Bowl at home, and a lot of heads rolling. Jerry Jones ain’t playing. They need to win.

But Houston ain’t playing either. A decisive win over Indy in Week 1 and a comeback victory over Washington in Week 2 probably has them finally believing they have the squad to end up Jones’ HD screens come February. Matt Schaub is looking like a top-five quarterback and Andre Johnson… well nothing’s changed with Johnson. He’s been in beastmode since David Carr was taking shots in the backfield.

So let’s add this up: 0-2 Dallas + pissed off Jerry Jones + the arrival of Houston = flip a coin. This one could be a classic.

We just sucked.” That was Tom Brady after losing to the cocky New York Jets in Week 2. What does that mean for bettors? Brady and the New England Patriots are going to right the ship before Week 3. Buffalo Bills beware.

Barring a miracle or Brady injury, the Pats are going to win this game. The question is are they going to cover the spread? NFL Odds have listed them as -14.5 favorites. Considering the Bills are 3-1 against the spread when they are double-digits dogs, Wes Welker and Randy Moss will have to get theirs for the Pats to cover.

Even if the Pats don’t put up 30 on the Bills, their defense may do the job for them. After scoring 17 points in two games coach Chan Gailey is opting for quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick over Trent Edwards, a move we don’t see making much of a difference. Buffalo rookie runner C.J. Spiller needs to have a breakout game for the Bills to keep up. Gailey keeps promising to use Spiller’s game-changing speed on Sunday, but all we’ve seen is a lot of dancing behind the o-line followed by negative yardage. The ninth overall pick has nine yards in two games.
