Week 3 Scared Money Bets: Josh Allen, Dak Prescott Big Days Coming

You know I live for the Scared Money sweats!

I want the unlikely bets. The improbable parlays. The extremely sweaty ATDs with 100/1 odds.

We had several hits last season, and I'm ready for more!

WELCOME TO THE SCARED MONEY THUNDERDOME, B*TCH.

Enter if you dare. But first, familiarize yourself with our creed.
The Scared Money Creed:

May the Odds Never Be In Your Favor: We are absolutely NOT trying to play it safe. The crazier the odds, the better.
Narratives Are EVERYTHING: Betting on something meaningless is an emotionally empty abyss. Instead, we're buying into the incredible outcomes that we want to become our reality. We're fans of the game—THAT is what drives the bet.
No wager is too small: Even the smallest wagers can give you an INCREDIBLE sweat. I don't need to risk my kid's college fund to piss all over the books and come home richer.
Remember our mantra: Scared money don't make money, baby.

We'll start easy, and amp up the odds as we move through the weekend …

Scared Money Parlay Bets for Week 3

BUF | DET | SF | DAL

2 TDs Too Easy +538

Four really good QBs have four really great matchups this week. Between the four of them, they've already thrown 22 passing TDs through two weeks.

None of them have thrown fewer than two TDs in a game, while they've all thrown three or more in at least one matchup.

This feels almost too easy, doesn't it?

Josh Allen Passing Touchdowns 2+
Jared Goff Passing Touchdowns 2+
Brock Purdy Passing Touchdowns 2+
Dak Prescott Passing Touchdowns 2+

HOU | LAR | BUF

While You Were Out ... +2683

Some star WRs are trending toward not suiting up yet again in Week 3 at the time of writing.

Nico Collins (Out)
Puka Nacua (Questionable)
DJ Moore (Questionable)

And even if they do play, their TEs have stepped up and carried the torch in their absence in Week 2:

Here's to another week of TEs keeping the flame alive.

Bowers’ Return +3800

If you've been following along for the Scared Money Bets, you'll know that our "First TD + 2 TDs" bets have hit more than once during a player's comeback game.

And no. I won't quit riding the high.

Brock Bowers officially returned to practice on Wednesday. Despite his limited workload this week and his "Questionable" tag for Sunday … I'm taking my shot. Again.

Scared money don't make money, baby!

Brock Bowers First TD
Brock Bowers 2+ Touchdowns

A Hartitz Hail Mary +230778

As Ian Hartitz pointed out, there were six pass catchers in Week 2 that were thwarted from scoring by a nasty little goal-line tackle. In other words: THEY ALMOST HAD IT!

I believe those TDs were stolen and the fantasy gods basically owe 'em one.

This week, they deserve their stolen TDs.
