NFL Week 3 player props: Zay Flowers is about to have a day

Thus far, we've declared two receivers as set to have themselves a week, Chris Olave in Week 1 and Keenan Allen in Week 2. Both indeed had a day, surpassing 100+ receiving yards.

NFL Week 3: Carolina Panthers vs. Seattle Seahawks betting picks, preview

Bryce Young is out of this Week 3 matchup, making a rough start even rougher for the Panthers. Seattle is likely playing with a bit more confidence after its big win in Detroit. YB's Griffin Carroll asks: Is it best we just follow momentum?

We have what is expected to be one of the most lopsided games in Week 3 on our hands when the Chiefs host the Bears. The spread is nearly 13 points: is there any hope for Chicago here?

NFL 'TNF' Week 3: Two Giants player props vs. Niners

'TNF' best bets: SGP opportunities galore for Niners offense vs. Giants

Both DraftKings and FanDuel are offering risk-free SGPs for tonight. We need to find a way to attack this "Thursday Night Football" game with no skin off our back.  At first glance, we're seeing a few vulnerabilities in this one.

Week 3 'TNF' touchdown prop: Looking down the line for value

This Niners-Giants game seems bound to be one-sided, especially with Saquon Barkley out for New York. The Giants offensive line is also dealing with injuries, and that's just not a good situation against this 49ers defense.

NFL Comeback Player of the Year odds: There might be a bet to make after all

MLB best bets: Take a rest from football with these tasty K props

Yuck, last night didn't go according to plan. Jamaal Williams got hurt early and we watched his backup rack up the yards and score twice.
