Another wild week of NFL games is nearly behind us, and oddsmakers have already posted lines for Week 3. The slate is headlined by an Aaron Rodgers vs. Tom Brady showdown in Tampa Bay, and closes with the New York Giants hosting the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night.
In this article, you’ll find current odds posted by legal online sportsbooks in the US, along with key news and storylines to look for before placing a bet.
NFL Week 3 opening odds
Week 3 best odds and betting breakdown
Spread: Steelers , Browns
Moneyline: Steelers , Browns
Total:
Week 3 kicks off with a division rivalry game in Cleveland. Both teams are coming off a loss. The Steelers struggled offensively (4.2 yards per play) in a 17-14 defeat to the Patriots, and the Browns handed a game away to the Jets after leading 30-17 with less than two minutes remaining.
Look for this to hang around the key number of three in favor of the Browns.
Spread: Chiefs , Colts
Moneyline: Chiefs , Colts
Total:
This is a tilt between two teams heading in opposite directions. The 2-0 Chiefs get some extra time to prepare for this one after holding off the Chargers on Thursday night, while the Colts were shut out in Jacksonville as three-point favorites. The Chiefs were -3 on the look-ahead line for this game before the Week 2 results were determined.
Injuries will be worth watching for the Colts this week. Indy was without Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce in Week 2, and failed to demonstrate any consistency in the passing game. Matt Ryan went 16-of-30 with three INTs.
Spread: Ravens , Patriots
Moneyline: Ravens , Patriots
Total:
The Ravens look to rebound from a shocking loss to Miami after leading by 21 in the fourth quarter. The offense appears to be firing on all cylinders, but the defense is dealing with several key injuries in the secondary. That was evident in Tua Tagovailoa’s 469-yard air assault in Week 2.
New England held on to beat a battered Pittsburgh team in Week 2. They will likely look to continue pounding the ball on the ground and controlling the tempo against this explosive Ravens offense.
Spread: Texans , Bears
Moneyline: Texans , Bears
Total:
This might be the only game the Bears are favored in during the 2022-23 season. Oddsmakers posted this right on the key number (3) as Week 2 afternoon games were ending on Sunday, but some early money came in on the Texans to push it to Bears -2.5.
Despite coming into the season among the cellar-dwellers, the Texans have played two tight games against potential playoff teams. Even as a road underdog, this presents one of their best opportunities for a win this season.
Spread: Raiders , Titans
Moneyline: Raiders
Total:
The Raiders played two different halves against Arizona in Week 2, ultimately losing in overtime to bring their record to 0-2. Penalties were a killer, but the Raiders offense also fell flat in the second half. Davante Adams was held to two catches for 12 yards.
Spread: Bills , Dolphins
Moneyline: Bills , Dolphins
Total:
