NFL Betting Picks For Week 3 (9/27/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

Week 2 brought along one of the worst, in terms of injuries, that we've seen in a long time.

Fantasy Football Buy or Sell - Week 3

The fantasy stonks market is always a fun one to evaluate.

Sony Michel Stopped By Seahawks

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel was unable to get anything going on the ground versus the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. He rushed seven times for 19 yards in the loss.
