Monday Night NFL betting preview & top tips | September 25, 2023

As Week 3 of the NFL season draws to a close, another thrilling Monday Night Football doubleheader awaits. We’re hoping for a more exciting set of games compared to last week, and no matter how things unfold, we’ve got you covered with our top picks for both matchups.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Philadelphia Eagles preview

After an unconventional week one where Jalen Hurts didn’t rush the ball much, he showcased his rushing prowess in week two, notching two rushing touchdowns. He seems well on track to match his impressive 13 rushing touchdowns from the previous year. In this game, Hurts is expected to rely on his mobility near the goal line, and with odds nearly even, it’s a bet worth considering.

Despite the Eagles’ reputation for having a formidable defense, they’ve struggled in the first two weeks, particularly against passing offenses. With the Buccaneers expected to air it out, Mike Evans should see plenty of targets. The future Hall of Famer has been in dominant form this season, scoring a touchdown in each game. We anticipate this streak continuing on Monday Night Football.

Cincinnati Bengals vs Los Angeles Rams preview

The Bengals, who entered the season with high hopes of making a Super Bowl run, have stumbled out of the gate with an 0-2 record. There’s no denying that their supposed elite offense has appeared lackluster, lacking any signs of life. Nevertheless, this presents an opportunity for them to turn things around. They started 0-2 last year but managed to win 12 of their next 14 games. While that might be an ambitious goal, we expect them to perform better and cover the spread in this Monday Night showdown.

One of the primary reasons behind the Bengals’ early-season struggles has been their failure to involve Ja’Marr Chase effectively. He is undoubtedly one of the league’s premier offensive weapons, yet he hasn’t had many opportunities to shine. That should change in this matchup. We anticipate the Bengals making a concerted effort to target Chase early and often, and we don’t believe the third-year wide receiver has lost his touch. He’s consistently scored over nine touchdowns in each of his previous seasons, and we expect him to find the end zone on Monday Night Football.
