Top NFL Favorites

A number of 2-1 teams considered favorites are still going strong in the NFL season.  The Jets, Patriots, Titans, Colts, Falcons, and others are all playing pretty well in their NFL betting matchups.

It seems like we may have to wait a little bit for the major teams to battle it out for bragging rights and intense money line debates in NFL betting.  For instance, the Jets, Titans, Packers, Saints, and Colts have weaker matchups, at least according to their talent levels. 

The NFL schedule for Week 4 has a couple of impressive football betting matchupsNew England at Miami and Baltimore at Pittsburgh should be interesting - stay tuned for SBR to preview these matchups and others.

Through just a few weeks in the NFL season, some of the favorites are looking good.  Week 3 revealed that these teams will continue to complete - even in less-than-desirable outcomes - epitomized by the 38-30 victory for the Patriots.

Surprising Teams in the NFL

In addition to either Green Bay or Chicago, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs are the only undefeated teams through three weeks of NFL betting.  When you consider how Pittsburgh and Kansas City have put up 72 and 68 points, respectively, that makes it all the more impressive and unexpected.

Kansas City's surprising play through the season, and seen in Week 3, was also captured in their opponent's play thus far.  The Chiefs beat San Francisco 31-10.  The 49ers have certainly been surprising, in the most negative way.  They are already 6 ½-point underdogs against Atlanta for next week.

Watch out for Seattle, Tampa Bay, Arizona, and Philadelphia - who are playing quite well considering each teams' story (Philadelphia) and talent level (others).

Some teams have been increasingly difficult to pinpoint.  After beating the Colts and Redskins, the Houston Texas then lost to the 0-2 Dallas Cowboys, who have been surprising in their own right.

Who will keep going above expectations?  Surely teams like the Seahawks, Bucs, Cardinals, and others can't keep up this pace - at least in all probability.

If you want an example: take Seattle at St. Louis, where sports books are giving this one a one-point spread.
