NFL Week 3 Betting Insights and Odds
NFL Week 3 brings exciting matchups, including a Monday Night Football doubleheader with the Jacksonville Jaguars facing the Buffalo Bills, and the Cincinnati Bengals hosting the Washington Commanders.
Two standout Sunday games include the Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles vs. New Orleans Saints, which are expected to attract significant betting action.
Here’s a breakdown of the most important odds, spreads, and betting trends for the games this week:
Philadelphia Eagles (-3) vs. New Orleans Saints – Total: 49.5 (1 PM ET Sunday)
The Saints have captured bettors' attention after their upset of the Cowboys, pushing the line to favor New Orleans. The Eagles opened as 3-point favorites, but after their shocking Monday night loss to Atlanta, the Saints are now the favored team. Expect a competitive matchup where the total has shifted from 47.5 to 49.5 points due to New Orleans' offensive performance. Public bets strongly favor the Saints, with minimal buyback on the Eagles.
Green Bay Packers vs. Tennessee Titans (-2.5) – Total: 38 (1 PM ET Sunday)
The Titans opened as a slight favorite, with the spread shifting between -1 and -3. Tennessee’s stout defense will be key as they face the Packers, who may struggle on offense after key injuries. The total has dropped to 38, with early bettors favoring the under, reflecting expectations for a low-scoring game. Despite the Titans’ underwhelming 0-2 start, they are seeing heavy betting support at -2.5.
Chicago Bears vs. Indianapolis Colts (-1) – Total: 43.5 (1 PM ET Sunday)
The Colts opened as 2.5-point favorites but have since dropped to -1. Bettors are split, with Chicago garnering 60% of early spread tickets, while Indianapolis holds a slight edge in total money bet. Both teams have been inconsistent, and this game could be crucial for their season outlook. The total has stabilized around 43.5 after initially opening at 46 points, suggesting a potentially tighter contest than expected.
Baltimore Ravens (-1) vs. Dallas Cowboys – Total: 47.5 (4:25 PM ET Sunday)
The Ravens opened as 1-point favorites after both teams suffered surprising Week 2 losses. With Baltimore’s defense facing Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, this matchup is expected to be a tight contest. Public money is leaning toward the Ravens, with 64% of bets on them to cover the spread. The total has seen movement, opening at 48.5 and dropping slightly to 47.5, indicating that bettors expect a balanced game with neither team dominating offensively.
Kansas City Chiefs (-3) vs. Atlanta Falcons – Total: 46.5 (8:20 PM ET Sunday)
The Chiefs opened as 4.5-point favorites but have seen the line tighten to -3. Kansas City’s narrow win over the Bengals in Week 2 has not inspired as much confidence, while the Falcons pulled off a stunning upset over the Eagles. The total remains at 46.5, with bettors split between the over and under. With Patrick Mahomes leading the Chiefs’ high-powered offense, the Falcons will need to counter with solid defensive play and a strong ground game to keep it close.
Buffalo Bills (-5.5) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars – Total: 45.5 (7:30 PM ET Monday)
The Bills opened as 5-point favorites and moved slightly to -5.5 after their dominant win over Miami. Buffalo’s defense will look to limit Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars' passing game, while Josh Allen should find success against Jacksonville’s secondary. Early bets have favored the Bills, and the total has settled at 45.5. Jacksonville, coming off a tough loss, will need to control the clock and capitalize on any turnovers to stay competitive.
Cincinnati Bengals (-7.5) vs. Washington Commanders – Total: 47 (8:15 PM ET Monday)
The Bengals are solid 7.5-point favorites after their close loss to Kansas City in Week 2. Joe Burrow and the Bengals' offense will look to bounce back against a Washington defense that allowed only field goals in Week 2. Cincinnati has attracted 70% of early spread bets, with expectations high for a dominant win. The total sits at 47 points, with the under seeing some early support as Washington’s offense has struggled to find the end zone consistently.
