SUNDAY NIGHT PATRIOTS @ LIONS BOOKIE BREAKER

The New England Patriots look like a solid road dog at Detroit Lions Sunday night. 

Here we'll get Bill Belichick's Patriots off a 31-20 road loss to the Jaguars, which is a great angle in itself to warrant a wager. Note that the Pats are 43-18-1 ATS in their last 62 games following a straight up loss and 14-4 ATS in their last 18 road games.

Detroit has helds its first two opponents (Jets and 49ers) to an average of 168 passing yards, but there's a world of difference in shutting down Jets Sam Darnold or Niners Jimmy Garoppolo and a Tom Brady led Patriots side. 

8* play on New England Patriots. 

SUNDAY AFTERNOON MLB *BIG HITTER* (10* TOP PLAY)

The slumping Arizona Diamondbacks took another beating by NL West rival Colorado on Saturday to fall to 5-15 through their last 20 games. They've lost the first two of this series and eight of the last 10 meetings with the Rockies, and I think the visitors will complete the sweep of this three game series Sunday afternoon. 

Colorado hands the ball to left.hander Kyle Freeland (15-7, 2.95 ERA) who has been at his very best home at Coors Field, but his 3.45 ERA on the road is nothing to be ashmed of. He was knocked around for four runs in four innings here at Chase Field back in July, but the Rockies still won the game. Diamondbacks are 4-11 in their last 15 home games vs. a left-handed starter and I don't think he'll have to fear here as Arizona has pretty much given up on the season by now. 

Arizona counters with Zack Godley (14-10, 4.79 ERA). The right-hander has been tagged with 14 runs through just 12 2/3 innings in his last three starts combined, including five in four innings at Colorado on Sep 10. On the season, he has posted a 6.14 ERA in three starts against the Rockies. 

Great value on the Rockies who are still battling for a postseason berth.

#NFL FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN

The Houston Texans took a 20-17 loss to the Titans last Sunday, and I think they're well overrated in this Week 3 matchup with the New York Giants. 

The Giants are still looking for their first win of the season, but they've held both Dallas and Jacksonville to just 20 points. They limited the Cowboys to only 298 total yards last week. The Texans rank 26th in the league in scoring at 18.5 points and it will be tough to cover this spread in what's likely to be a low-scoring game. 

Additionally we can note that Giants are 5-2 ATS in their last seven road games vs. a team with a losing home record, Texans are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games vs. a team with a losing road record and  0-7 ATS in their last seven games overall.

Free pick on New York Giants +6.5.

The Miami Dolphins have opened the season with back-to-back wins, and I think they'll make it three in a row here against the Raiders who are coming off a mentally tough 20-19 loss to Denver to fall to 0-2 on the season. 

Here the Raiders have to travel across the country to face a Miami side which own 6th ranked ground attack in the league, bad news for Oakland which ranks 31st against the run and allowed Denver to run for 168 yards last week. 

The Raiders have an explosive offense led by QB Derek Carr, but they're simply not clicking at the moment, averaging only 16.0 ppg on the season. I expect the Dolphins to get the job done and win a low-scoring game at home in Week 3. 

Raiders are 4-10-2 ATS in their last 16 games overall. Raiders are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Under is 9-0 in Raiders last 9 games overall. Under is 5-1 in Raiders last 6 games in September. Under is 4-1 in Dolphins last 5 games in September.

8* play on UNDER.

NFL 3-PACK

The Atlanta Falcons fell at Philadelphia in Week 1 but bounced back with a 31-24 win over Carolina last Sunday. QB Matt Ryan had a great game completing 23-of-28 passes for a total of 272 yards with a pair of touchdown against one INT. Also worth noting that he added two scores on the ground as the Falcons went four-for-four in the red zone. 

The New Orleans Saints on the other hand needed some late game heroics to earn their first win last season, outscoring the Browns 18-6 in the 4th quarter to get the W. They're pretty one-dimensional on offense, having rushed for just 105 yards through the first two games of the season, and here it'll face an Atlanta team which has limited teams to 219 passing yards. 

The Saints are giving up 325.5 yards per game and were lit up through the air by Tampa Bay’s Ryan Fitzpatrick who threw for 418 yards in Week 1. They're gonna struggle to shut down Matt Ryan, and I expect Atlanta to run away with this game. 

8* play on Atlanta Falcons. 

NFL GAME OF THE WEEK (10* SIDE)

The Baltimore Ravens annihilated the hapless Bills in their season opener, but they came out flat at Cincinnati last week and failed to fully climb out of an early 21-0 hole, eventually losing 34-23. 

I think the Ravens are in for a tough game here against the Denver Broncos who have opened the season with home wins over Seattle and most recently Oakland. 

Denver has looked solid on the defensive side of the ball and limited the Raiders to just 92 rushing yards last week. Baltimore has not posed much of a threat on the ground through the first two games which means the Broncos can focus on shutting down Baltimore QB Joe Flacco who was sacked four times against the Bengals.

Offensively the Broncos are dangerous on the ground and rank 2nd in the NFL in rushing with 314 yards on the season. Case Keenum is perhaps not an elite QB, but note that this Baltimore D allowed Bengals Andy Dalton to throw for 265 yards and four touchdowns last week. In addition, Baltimore cornerback Jimmy Smith is facing a multi-week suspension from the NFL because of an apparent violation of the league's personal-conduct policy.

Broncos are 7-2-2 ATS in their last 11 games in September. Ravens are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games in Week 3.

10* NFL Game of the Week (side): Denver Broncos.

TOP RATED 10* STEELERS @ BUCS MONDAY NIGHT MONEYMAKER

The winless Pittsburgh Steelers have struggled big time defensively through their first two games.

The Pitt D allowed Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes to throw six touchdown passes last week and Tampa Bay QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has opened the season with consecutive 400-yard, four-touchdown performances.

Fitzmagic has been awarded NFC Offensive Player of the Week in both weeks and should have another big game Monday night.

Note that the Steelers have covered the spread only once since linebacker Ryan Shazier suffered a spinal injury in December and their top cornerback Joe Haden is banged up. 

10* play on Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

TOP RATED 10* MLB MONEYLINE MASSACRE

The Colorado Rockies are coming off a sweep of the D'Backs at Arizona, and here they return home to Coors Field where they're 41-33 on the season. The visiting Philadelphia Phillies are just 31-46 on the road on the season and 7-20 in their last 27 away from home. 

The Rockies hand the ball to left-hander Tyler Anderson (6-9, 4.76 ERA) has allowed two runs in six innings in each of his last two starts. He is 2-1, 3.13 in four starts against the Phillies who counter with right-hander Zach Eflin (11-7, 4.09 ERA). He has allowed three or fewer runs in four of his past five starts and only one run and eight hits over 11 1/3 innings in his last two starts, but he owns a 7.50 ERA in two career starts against the Rockies. 

Philly has lost 11 of its last 15 and has no chance of making the playoffs. The Rockies on the other hand are 1 1/2 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West and trail the St. Louis Cardinals by 1 1/2 games in the chase for the second NL wild-card spot.
