Sports betting writer Dylan Svoboda is in his second season in The Post’s Bettor’s Guide.
Chicago Bears (+1.5) over LAS VEGAS RAIDERS
Caleb Williams might be figuring things out.
In an upset win over the Cowboys, Williams was 19-of-28 passing for 298 yards and four touchdowns in perhaps the best game of his young career.
Suddenly, if you look at his numbers through three games, the Williams experiment isn’t looking so bad with 2024’s No. 1 pick throwing for at least 200 yards in each game with seven touchdowns and just one interception.
The Raiders appear headed in the opposite direction.
They were throttled by the Jayden Daniels-less Commanders, losing 41-24 while giving up a whopping 201 rushing yards.
The Bears rushing attack has been average, but with their quarterback playing well and a soft Raiders frontline, I’m expecting a second straight Chicago win.
Washington Commanders (+2) over ATLANTA FALCONS
Perhaps the only team that looked worse than the Raiders in Week 3 was the Falcons.
Atlanta was blown out by the winless Panthers 30-0, and there weren’t many positives to take away on either side of the ball.
Michael Penix Jr. threw two interceptions, and the Falcons defense made one of the worst offenses through the first two weeks look competent.
Betting on the NFL?
As mentioned, the Commanders stole a win last week without Daniels.
The second-year quarterback was limited during Wednesday’s practice, but Marcus Mariota and the Washington run game showed they could do enough to put up points without their star.
Even if Daniels is out, I like the Commanders.
LAST WEEK: 0-2. Cowboys (L), Texans (L).
SEASON: 1-5.
