Week 3 Results

I said we were going to keep the train rolling - and we did just that. Not only did we get to enjoy USA dominating in the Ryder Cup (missed placing some bets for the blog), but we also enjoyed a great weekend of NFL football. Let's take a look at where are at and how things went for Week 3....

A) SGP (Same Game Parlay) Panthers/Over 42.5/Darnold over 229.5 passing/CMC 3+ receptions

Honestly, I felt great about this bet..... until CMC got hurt. If CMC had not gotten hurt, he was a shoe-in for the receptions portion of the bet. The Panthers easily cruised to a victory - which we all expected. Darnold had over 300 yards passing.... which we expected. The issue was losing CMC so early which really hurt their offensive efficiency. CMC already had two receptions in the first quarter, one could easily expect another reception sometime throughout the game. Not to mention, he would have helped sustain drives and we could have easily seen another touchdown or two in the game. Which would have locked up the other two portions of the bet. However, injuries happen and there is really nothing we can do to predict that.

B) Falcons/Giants highest scoring game

Boy oh boy, this did not go anywhere as expected. With so much potential for the offenses to finally get going in a matchup where both teams lack on the defensive side of the ball - nothing really came from it. Neither offense could really get it going until it was too late and neither side of the ball looked comfortable airing it out. I said this was a sucker's bet and yet I still placed it. It is similar to looking down on the ground and seeing a piece of shit, saying "That is a piece of shit," and then picking up the piece of shit. Why are we such degenerates?

C) Buccs/Rams - no player to score 2+ touchdowns

Cooper Kupp is officially unstoppable. I would make this same bet every week - and it will hit more often than not. This was my only fear, the Buccs secondary has been suspect and Kupp has been on an absolute tear. Obviously, this did not go well for us and Kupp was the only 2+ touchdowns player in the game. Well, eff you Cooper Kupp!

D) Anderson/CMC/Cooks each over 80 receiving

This had no chance to actually hit - hence the amazing odds. Definitely took a flyer and definitely hurt when CMC went down with an injury. The crazier part is that it was not as far off as it seemed. Cooks easily got his 80 yards - he finished with over 100 yards receiving. CMC was ruled out early on - but he is the last person I was worried about. Anderson was nowhere close to the 80 yard mark; however, I would take those same odds every week on Anderson. Essentially, if you think that CMC would have eventually made it - we are getting those odds on one person - which is just too good to let pass.

E) Saints -2.5/Raiders -1/Broncos -2.5

Once again, I can not believe the Saints started that game being the underdogs. Easy decision to give points away - I only wish I gave more away. The Broncos easily won - after all, it was the Jets. However, the Raiders tried to spoil everything - but they pulled it out in the end. Carr might finish the season with 6,000 yards - which would be absolutely insane. Big win here - which pushed us positive for the week.

Week 3 Running Total

Placed: $80

Profit: $49

Let's place a bet for Monday Night Football....

F) SGP: Cowboys -3.5/Prescott over 274.5 passing/Jarwin over 19.5 receiving/Lamb over 104.5 receiving, 8 receptions, anytime touchdown: $20 to win $300

The MNF bets are not in the betting card for the beginning of the week. Instead, you need to follow @FFDojoSensei for the MNF bets. Typically, MNF ends up being a SGP - but you are always free to pick and choose what to include. We will see what takes place tonight - but we are expecting big things from Lamb. He has been the focal point of the offensive attack and I look for him to have a huge night against an Eagles team that allow young speedy receivers to have big nights. Jarwin is averaging 3 targets and nearly 30 yards a game - that portion of the parlay should be a lock. Look for this parlay to either hit or miss 3 legs (Lamb).
