Week 3 NFL betting is a lot like Week 2: Overreactions run rampant, and underdogs reign supreme.
According to our Action Labs data, underdogs are 145-117-6 (55.3%) in Week 3 since 2005, beating the spread by an average of 1.68 points per game.

Of course, there will always be spots we can target to get that win rate even higher.
