NFL Betting – Week 3 AFC Power Poll

Two weeks of NFL betting is in the books, and BetOnline Sportsbook has everything you need to know about how the teams stack up for NFL bettors in the AFC…

1: New York Jets (2-0 ATS, 2-0 SU) (LW: 1) It may only be two weeks into the NFL betting season, but let’s face this fact. If the season stopped today, HC Rex Ryan would be Coach of the Year and QB Mark Sanchez would be Rookie of the Year, and both would win their awards unanimously. After beating the mighty Patriots last week, it’s pretty clear the Jets are now the hunted, not the hunter.

Up Next: Home vs. Titans (-1)

2: Baltimore Ravens (2-0 ATS, 2-0 SU) (LW: 2) Baltimore took advantage of a lot of injuries to the Chargers to score a 31-26 victory and seize a one-game lead in the AFC North standings. Still, it’s hard to imagine that this team is going to be able to score 30+ points every week. It’s equally hard to picture the Ravens giving up 20+ points per week as well.

Up Next: Home vs. Browns (-13)

3: Buffalo Bills (2-0 ATS, 1-1 SU) (LW: 3) Is Buffalo for real this season? After nearly shocking New England in Week 1 and beating the snot out of the Bucs in Week 2, it’s very possible that this no-huddle offense of HC Dick Jauron’s is going to work. Expect to see plenty of points fly onto the board this week.

Up Next: Home vs. Saints (+6)

4: Denver Broncos (2-0 ATS, 2-0 SU) The Broncos may be the worst 2-0 team in the NFL, but considering how bad their division is, they may be able to string together enough victories to make the playoffs. Denver very well could be 4-0 heading into its showdown with New England in three weeks.

Up Next: Away @ Raiders (-1)

5: Oakland Raiders (2-0 ATS, 1-1 SU) (LW: 7) They may have picked up less than half the yardage of the Chiefs, but the Raiders found a way to eke out a 13-10 victory last Sunday at Arrowhead. Believe it or not, a win this week would put the Raiders in a tie for *gasp!* first place in the division!

Up Next: Home vs. Broncos (+1)

6: Indianapolis Colts (1-1 ATS, 2-0 SU) (LW: 9) It wasn’t pretty, but the Colts found a way to notch a 27-23 win in Miami on Monday night in spite of the fact that they were absolutely dominated in time of possession. QB Peyton Manning isn’t showing signs of missing WR Marvin Harrison, as he is leading the #3 ranked passing attack in the NFL at 294.5 yards per game.

Up Next: Away @ Cardinals (+1)

7: Cincinnati Bengals (1-1 ATS, 1-1 SU) (LW: 11) Two weeks ago, the Bengals crushed a lot of people in survivor pools by losing at home to Denver. Last week, they knocked even more people out by beating the Packers outright at Lambeau Field as nine-point underdogs. The defending champs come to town this week, and inevitably, some people will make the Steelers their pick to survive in Week 3.

Up Next: Home vs. Steelers (+4)

8: Tennessee Titans (1-1 ATS, 0-2 SU) (LW: 5) It may be time to panic in Tennessee. Losing on the road in Pittsburgh was acceptable Week 1. Losing at home to Houston in Week 2 was not. One look at this schedule down the road suggests that the Titans are in a world of hurt. Their next ten games? @ the Jets, @ Jacksonville, Indy, @ New England, Jacksonville, @ San Fran, Buffalo, @ Houston, Arizona, and @ Indy. Ouch.

Up Next: Away @ Jets (+1)

And the rest…

9: Jacksonville Jaguars (1-1 ATS, 0-2 SU) (LW: 6)

10: Houston Texans (1-1 ATS, 1-1 SU) (LW: 16)

11: Pittsburgh Steelers (0-2 ATS, 1-1 SU) (LW:

12: Kansas City Chiefs (0-2 ATS, 0-2 SU) (LW: 10)

13: Miami Dolphins (0-2 ATS, 0-2 SU) (LW: 13)

14: San Diego Chargers (0-2 ATS, 1-1 SU) (LW: 12)

15: New England Patriots (0-2 ATS, 1-1 SU) (LW: 14)

16: Cleveland Browns (0-2 ATS, 0-2 SU) (LW: 15)
