Stacking to Win It: NFL Week 3

Welcome to Stacking to Win it. In this article I will give you my top stacks for this week. I will give you my top 2 overall stacks, a value stack and a stack that I feel will be low owned.

There are several teams in great spots to put up some huge numbers this week. We have nine teams that are projected to score 24 or more points by Vegas. The Steelers, Packers and Cardinals all were close to making the list but just did not make if for several reasons. The Steelers and Packers are both great teams with stud players that will put up numbers but don't have as great of a matchup as some of the other teams. The Cardinals will have a big game through the air against awful 49ers secondary, but it's are hard to predict who will be the one to do the most damage.

Top Stack 1

Patriots vs Jaguars- Team Total 30.5

The Patriots are by far the team to stack this week. They are in full blown stick it to the Roger Godell mode after Deflategate and are taking it out on every team they face. The offense, led by Tom Brady and the man they call Gronk, are in a zone and have helped the Patriots average 366 yards a game through the air. The matc up could not be any better for them this week as they get the Jaguars, who have long been the bottom dweller team of the league. Jacksonville was a bottom tier team against the pass last year and are starting off the same way this year. In the first two games of the season, they have averaged 251 yards given up through the air. The big question in this game is if the Patriots start to run the clock down in the second half if they are up big. They continued to throw last week against the Bills, and it almost cost them as the Bills came storming back. If they continue to pass, then Dion Lewis is a great piece to go with Brady, Gronk and Edelman. But if they decide to run the ball, then this might be the week for LeGarrette Blount to shine.

Top Stack 2

Seahawks vs Bears - Team Total 29.0

I feel bad for the Bears this week. They have to face a winless Seahawks team on the road with a backup quarterback starting. This will be a statement game for a Hawks team that have the second highest team total on the board this week. They will look to get everyone on track in this game, and it starts with Lynch and ends with Jimmy Graham. I am looking for Wilson to force feed the ball to both players in this game. They both should have huge games facing the Bears, who do not look good on both sides of the ball. This is a week to target not only the offense but the defense of the Seahwaks.

Value Stack

Jets vs Eagles - Team Total 25.0

I love the Jets this week if you want to save money at the skill positions. They have health questions with Eric Decker and Chris Ivory that warrant watching. Brandon Marshall is the one to target going up against Bryon Maxwell. If Ivory is not able to go, Bilal Powell becomes a must play in my book and is still a great value play even if Ivory is able to play. There should be enough touches to go around against an Eagles team that has the least time of possession on offense and have surrendered 377 yards a game on defense.

Contrarian Stack

Colts @ Titans - Team Total 24.3

The team that no one is talking about that is in store for a huge bounce back game this week is the Colts. Andrew Luck is too good of a quarterback to be held down for this long. Hilton should be healthier this week, and the opponent is terrific. The Titans have some great early season numbers but have played two young inexperienced quarterbacks who do not have great running games either. They have basically the same roster as last year on the defensive side of the ball, and they were awful last year. They ranked 27^th in total yards allowed per game at 373 and allowed over 27 points a game. This year, despite the great numbers in yardage, they have still allowed four touchdown passes and have allowed 21 points a game. The Colts are expensive but will be low owned and should be in for a big day.
