Week 3 FREE NFL Parlay Picks

After hitting my first two-team parlay of the new NFL season I had both winners in last week’s parlay. The problem is that you can only cash-in if both teams cover the spread.

That means it is back to the drawing board for Week 3 in the NFL to find another pair of matchups that are sure-fire winners based on betting odds from sites at Cappers Picks.

Game 1 – Minnesota Vikings vs. New Orleans Saints

Pointspread: New Orleans -9.5
Total Line: 51

I went against the Vikings last week as three-point home underdogs against New England not because of the whole Adrian Peterson mess, but because they are the Vikings.

I am going the same way this week given that Minnesota now has to go on the road to a place that even good teams cannot win games.

It is not all bad with the Vikings behind some decent play from quarterback Matt Cassel and a solid performance from the defense in Minnesota’s 34-6 victory over St. Louis on opening day, but this team is walking into a hornet’s nest this Sunday in New Orleans.

This Sunday the rubber meets the road at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, where the Saints desperately need a win to avoid a dreaded 0-3 start. The current pointspread has actually come down a bit after opening at 10.5 points which only makes this game all the more attractive.

4* NFL Parlay Pick:

There is no doubt that New Orleans’ defense has had its issues in back-to-back losses to Atlanta and Cleveland as a road favorite, but a return to the Big Easy should quickly right the ship with a dominant win that covers the 9.5 points.

Game 2 – Houston Texans vs. New York Giants

Pointspread: Houston -2.5
Total Line: 42

The Texans are just one victory away from eclipsing last season’s win total after posting back-to-back wins over Washington and Oakland to start the year.

While that may not be such an impressive achievement given the way both of those teams have looked so far, you cannot deny how well Houston’s defense looked by allowing a grand total of just 20 points in the two wins.

JJ Watt is earning every penny of his new fat contract and the Texans are getting it done even with first-round pick Jadeveon Clowney out of the starting lineup due to injury.

New York was hoping to quickly erase the memory of last season’s 0-6 start, but it is becoming to be a reoccurring nightmare with losses to Detroit and Arizona by a combined score of 60-28 in the first two games this season.

Eli Manning is up to his old tricks with four interceptions and the Giants’ overall turnover ratio is already at the bottom of the NFL at -5. This was the primary cause of last year’s slow start.

I fully expect head coach Tom Coughlin to once again circle the wagons to get his team out of this funk, but it is not going to happen this week against Houston’s defense.

4* NFL Parlay Pick:

The Texans will probably run their record to 3-0, but I am going with the UNDER 42 as my top pick in the back-end of this week’s two-team NFL parlay.
