Just two undefeated teams remain in the NFL entering Week 4 of the season, including the Atlanta Falcons, who will take on the Buffalo Bills this week as 8-point home favourites on the NFL odds at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.
The defending NFC champions improved to 3-0 after hanging on for a 30-26 win in Detroit as 3-point chalk to improve to 9-1 straight up in their past 10 games going into Sunday afternoon’s Bills vs. Falcons betting matchup at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
The Falcons’ offence has racked up an average of 388 total yards and 29 points per game through Week 3. Atlanta has also averaged 35.8 points per game during an 8-3 SU run at home, with the OVER going 11-0 during that stretch.
The Bills improved to 2-1 with last week’s 26-16 upset victory over Denver, and have built their early success on a stingy defence that has surrendered an NFL-best 12.3 points per game.
Buffalo has struggled on the road, going 1-5 SU and 1-3-2 ATS in their past six, tallying 16 or fewer points in three of its past four, and is 0-4 SU and ATS in Atlanta since its last win there in 1995.
The Kansas City Chiefs aim to improve to 4-0 when they host Washington on Monday night as 6.5-point chalk. The Chiefs dominated in a 24-10 win over the Los Angeles Chargers as 3-point road chalk last weekend to improve to 13-3 SU in their past 16 games, according to the OddsShark NFL Database.
Kansas City has been rewarded with a leap on the Super Bowl odds, from +2500 to +1200, but remains a middling 3-3 SU in its past six games at Arrowhead Stadium, and has failed to cover in consecutive home games during a 4-9 ATS run.
Washington is coming off a stunning 27-10 win over Oakland as a 3.5-point home underdog, and rides a three-game SU and ATS surge on the road. However, it has been 34 years since the Redskins last claimed victory in Kansas City, going 0-6 SU and ATS in six subsequent visits.
While Atlanta and Kansas City look to remain undefeated, five teams continue the search for their first victories this weekend. The Chargers are winless SU in eight games, but are pegged as early 1-point favourites over the visiting Philadelphia Eagles.
Winners of 10 games last season, the 0-3 New York Giants visit Tampa Bay as 3-point underdogs, and the San Francisco 49ers search for just their second road win since December 2015 as they head to Arizona as 7-point underdogs.
As well, Cleveland and Cincinnati enter their Week 4 matchup with identical 0-3 records, with the Bengals pegged as 3.5-point road chalk in a clash of fading AFC North rivals.
