Before we get started here ladies and gents, I want to take a very quick internet-second to give a big shout out to the PerSources team for letting me write. I’m Carver aka. Carolina Carver, aka. Cash Money Carver, aka. Make You Some Beer Money Carver, (and about to be) your favorite PS blogger Carver. You get the point.
I can’t wait to get out all of these STRONG takes for the rest of the NFL season. Also, as a preface – all my betting lines come from MyBookie.ag (not an ad). That’s just how I started, so get over it if your line looks a little different. Buy the half point or full if you really want to go off my lines – they won’t be that different.
This is week 3 of NFL bets. Now, welcome to the greatest NFL gambling blog ever. I’ll try to make you some money in the best way in the history of the spoken written word. So thank you, PerSources family, and thank you, reader, for following along on this crusade through the NFL.
Now, let’s get it.
Carver’s Call$ – Week 3
Now we’re on to the three categories for Sunday games. The Thursday, Sunday, and Monday will always get a block – but there will also be three other games that I’ll have available. The categories are:
Faker or Maker Game of the Week
The Faker or Maker Game of the Week goes to…
Seahawks v. Cowboys
This game has BIG say into what happens in the NFC. One of these teams will make the playoffs. It’ll be whoever wins Sunday. The Seahawks are very close to going 100% nuclear and starting fresh on absolutely everybody. Everyone seems to hate each other, and no one knows what’s going on.
People forget that Wilson is not a top-5 quarterback and that he actually kinda sucks (Ciara knows). The Cowboys are smack in between being good or really bad. They got SMOKED by my Panthers Week 1, but they bounced back against a terrible Giants team and are sitting at 1-1. This game should be high-scoring, and the Seahawks are favored by 1.5. That isn’t much, and the Seahawks should grab that.
Picks: Seahawks – 1.5, Seahawks Money, Over 41.5
Actual Good Football Game of the Week
The Actual Good Football Game of the Week goes to the
Falcons v. Saints
This game should be fantastic. The third and fourth best QB’s in the NFC South will face off (Cam, Fitzmagic, Brees, Ryan – Spot the Lie), and they both have electric offenses. This should call for a great game filled with many dumb moments from Sean Payton and whatever the Falcons call their red zone offense (THROW THE BALL TO JULIO JONES. WORD ON THE STREET IS THAT HE’S GOOD). Anyways, this game should be really gritty and high-scoring. It could come down to the wire. I’m loving this game.
Picks: Falcons -3, Falcons Money, Over 53
The Murder of the Week
And to no one’s surprise, it’s the…
Bills v. Vikings
I don’t even know what to say. The Vikings are 17 point favorites, and this should be a blowout. There’s no reason to take the Bills +17. You’re more likely to find Josh Allen’s dead body under a cheer of SKOL. This game isn’t fair. #PrayForBuffalo
Picks: Vikings -17, Vikings Money, Over 40.5
Sunday Night Football
Patriots v. Lions
This match-up is pretty terrible. The only real storyline is Matt Patricia going up against Bill Belichick. Besides that, this game should be a slaughter. You’ve gotta call Tom Brady – Daniel – because he’s about to tame some Lions. The Pats lost to the Jags, and it was a wake-up call for Brady and Bros. They’ll cruise through Detroit.
Picks Patriots -7, Patriots Money, Under 52
Monday Night Football
Steelers v. Bucs
This game features the hottest man in football, Fitzmagic, and he’ll continue to light it up. He’s on fire and actually has created a QB controversy in Tampa. The Bucs play again Sunday, which is when ol’ crab legs himself can get back on the field. Yet, I wonder if they’ll even play him on short rest – or let Fitz take them into the Bye.
It seems like if Ryan can win out, there’s no reason to bench him. You gotta ride the hot hand in this situation. Tampa, of course, will find a way to Bucs this all up anyways. On the other side, the Steelers are also in a crazy situation. Bell hasn’t taken a snap, and AB is missing practices and tweeting “trade me and find out” to a former Steelers PR person who said he wasn’t much without Big Ben. This game is a wild soap opera. I like the hot hand of Fitzmagic.
Picks: Bucs +1, Bucs Money, Over 53.5
That brings us to the end of the first edition of Carver’s Call$.
Always remember:
Look good, play good.
Play good, pay good.
Pay good, live good.
Live good, die good.
Now, get that money this weekend or have some fun trying.
Carver.
