NFL betting fans should take a really good look at the early lines for Week 3, as several teams have favorable odds that you might want to take advantage of.

Pittsburgh Steelers -2.5
Tampa Bay Buccaneers +2.5
O/U 33

For example, the Steelers are three-point favorites over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, two teams they are 2-0 but with really different outcomes, if you think about it.

The Steelers have beaten two playoff-caliber teams in the Atlanta Falcons and Tennessee Titans and despite that they are wins, they haven’t been great wins. However, wins nonetheless grow confidence in a locker room. Think about this, Pittsburgh went into Tennessee and beat the Titans playing ugly, strong, old-school football with their third-string quarterback. That, to me, is as unusual and great as anything.

Pittsburgh can pound the ball by playing amazing defense and win the special teams plays, just ask the Titans.

The Tampa Bay Bucs, on the other hand, are not as strong as their record says. They just beat the Cleveland Browns and Carolina Panthers, two horrible teams with really difficult quarterback issues. The value of the teams that the Steelers have beaten doesn’t match with the wins by the Bucs, so that’s why you should take advantage and bet Pittsburgh.

Another good line is the Philadelphia Eagles as three-point favorites visiting the Jacksonville Jaguars. Michael Vick has been great so far and he is not willing to stop now. Despite that most people think Kevin Kolb will be the starter in the next game, the pressure is so high for Vick to play, that will be a dumb move by Andy Reid to let the young quarterback take the starting place against the Jaguars.

Philadelphia Eagles -3
Jacksonville Jaguars +3
O/U 44.5

Also remember that David Garrard is coming off a four-interception game and his confidence might be kind of shaky against an Eagles defense that is looking to take advantage of those mistakes.
