NFC East Game of the Week- Dallas at Denver

As part of my NFL coverage for ScoresandStats.com, I breakdown all the games in the NFC East to come up with my 'Game of the Week' best bet. I like the Eagles getting six points on the road against Kansas City after the line opened at four and I do think that Washington and New York bounce back with wins this week following an opening day loss both straight-up and against the spread. However, this week my top play is the Dallas at Denver game in a late Sunday afternoon start on FOX.

The Cowboys grinded out a 19-3 victory against the Giants last Sunday night to easily cover as six-point favorites at home and this week they will go on the road to Sports Authority Field at Mile High as two-point favorites with BetAnySports. The Broncos got past the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night 24-21 in a game that ended as a PUSH. Denver was 1-1 (SU and ATS) last season when closing as a home underdog with a victory over Carolina early in the year followed by a loss to New England in late December. Dallas went 6-2 SU on the road last season with a 5-3 record ATS, but it failed to cover in its last three road games. Head-to-head in this matchup, the Broncos have won the last five meetings SU and they have a 3-2 edge ATS.

Clemson at Louisville Free ACC 'Pick of the Week'

I am once again covering ACC football for SportsBettingStats.com and in this Saturday's 'Game of the Week' pick I have focused my attention on the biggest game on the slate in Week 3 of the college football season with the No. 3 Clemson Tigers going on the road as three-point favorites to face the No. 14 Louisville Cardinals. The winner of this game will be in the driver seat in the ACC's Atlantic Division when it comes to the race for this year's conference title, but more importantly, it will have a huge leg up on earning one of the four spots in this season's College Football Playoff.

Clemson has won the first three meetings straight-up since Louisville joined the ACC in 2014, but the Cardinals hold the slight 2-1 edge against the spread. The betting line at BetAnySports for this game has held steady at three points, but the total line has jumped from 56 points to 58.5 with most of the early betting money coming in on the OVER. The main storyline in this ACC tilt is the Tigers' shutdown defense going up against 2016 Heisman Trophy quarterback Lamar Jackson. Both have been extremely impressive so far starting with Clemson giving up a total of nine points in two earlier victories against Kent State and then-No. 13 Auburn. In his first two games against Purdue and North Carolina, Jackson has passed for 771 yards and five touchdowns against zero interceptions while also leading Louisville in rushing with 239 yards on 40 carries including three trips into the end zone.

ACC Week 2 Betting Report

The Florida State Seminoles dropped out of the No. 3 spot in the national polls following a disappointing 24-7 loss to Alabama last week and to make matters worse they also lost their starting quarterback Deondre Francis for the season with a leg injury. This loss opened the door for the Clemson Tigers to become the highest ranked team in the ACC at No. 3 in the latest AP Top 25, while Florida State tumbled down to No. 10.

The other three ranked teams in the ACC are all bunched together starting with Miami at No. 16 followed by No. 17 Louisville and Virginia Tech at No. 18.
