September 21 - This weekend marks Week 3 of the NFL regular season, and there will be many teams that need to dig deep if they have any hope of finding the kind of form expected from them, and to avoid falling too far behind in the NFL standings.
Similarly, NFL teams deemed no-hopers just a few weeks ago, but who have 'stepped up' need to ensure they continue to dazzle on the field. The Miami Dolphins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Chicago Bears and Kansas City Chiefs come to mind.
These are teams that both NFL betting fans and oddsmakers are starting to take notice of. But of course it will take more than just a couple of surprise results for seasoned bettors and oddsmakers alike to change their perceptions of these teams.
Which is why the upcoming games will be so crucial. Another team that has impressed so far this season are the Houston Texans. As impressed as NFL betting fans were when they trounced the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1, they even more so when the Texas team dispatched the Washington Redskins in Week 2, especially after coming back from behind.
So there's little doubt that online sportsbooks will give the Houston Texans far more respect in their Week 3 showdown against the Dallas Cowboys. And as far as the bigger matchups go, NFL betting fans are letting their money do the talking.
One such matchup is the anticipated game between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears Monday night. Oddsmakers initially installed the Packers at -3.5 over the Bears, but interest from betting fans brought the Packers down to -3.
