The NFL Preseason rumbles on as the Los Angeles Rams travel to face the Denver Broncos in Week 3.
Both squads are still looking for their first win — the Rams dropped back-to-back games to the Chargers and Raiders by a final score of 34-17, while the Broncos have fallen by a single point in each of their first two games.
Bettors and oddsmakers alike view Denver as the superior side. Looking at NFL betting odds, the Broncos are favored by nearly a touchdown for Saturday’s content.
Is that the correct line for a game between two struggling teams that would both like to end the preseason on a high note? I break that down by looking at Sean Payton’s track record in final preseason games and more in my NFL picks and predic…
Sunday night is capped off with a pivotal AFC West battle between the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead, with Mahomes and Co. entering as 9.5-point NFL betting favorites.
Andy Reid is coming off the bye and we all know what that means. Can Javonte Williams expose a weak Kansas City rush defense with a likely bigger role? Can Mahomes and the offense hit some big plays versus Vic Fangio’s defense?

The NFL season will be 22% of the way through when Week 4 kicks off. And it’s at this point that books and bettors start to see teams for who they really are.
We have three weeks of results, with spreads and totals tightening and any misconceptions or over-evaluations correcting quickly. That means getting the best of the number is more important than ever.
And getting that best number requires jumping on opening NFL odds or waiting for lines to move later in the week. It’s what we do here every Sunday night, as I headline a spread and total to take now and ones to push pause on for later.

The Miami Dolphins are one of the best teams in the AFC and at home, on Monday Night Football, they should be able to handle the lowly Tennessee Titans (4-8). The Dolphins are riding high, having won three straight, while the Titans head to South Beach with just one win over their last five games.
Can the Titans defense slow down Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill and the high-flying Dolphins offense? Or will they be stuck between a rock and a hard place at Hard Rock Stadium?
While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game… did you know that you can also live stream Titans/Dolphins directly from legal sports betting sites?

The Baltimore Ravens left football bettors with a bad taste in their mouths last season.
After a palatable 2023 run pumped out a 12-6 ATS record, Baltimore belly-flopped in the AFC title game, mustering only 10 points in that loss to the soon-to-be champion Chiefs. It was an abrupt end for a team that ranked Top 6 in EPA per play and DVOA on both sides of the ball.
The Ravens are once again projected to finish near the top of the league in those all-holy analytics in 2024, and the NFL odds reflect that forecast. Baltimore is an AFC futures darling and is a favorite in 14 of its look-ahead lines despite facing one of the toughest schedules in the land. That rough road keeps eight of those 17 spreads within a field goal (-3 to +3).

Tammy Abraham is back to square one with his troublesome ankle, with rest prescribed for the Chelsea striker over the weekend while his club play at Bournemouth and Frank Lampard unsure when he will be able to call on him again.

There were fears of a hairline fracture, although scans were clear, and Abraham started Chelsea’s next Premier League game at Leicester after a pain-killing injection only to feel discomfort again.
