NFL Week 3 is here, and as always, one of the most profitable strategies that a sports bettor can use, is to bet on lines early before they move.

This week's action is no exception, especially with no spread set at a higher mark than the magic number of seven. If you want to bet on the favorite in those games, now is the time to do it.

Let me show you three games you should wager on before the lines shift. All odds listed below are via FanDuel Sportsbook.

Ravens vs. Patriots Odds, Prediction and Pick

The spread in the Ravens and Patriots game is sitting right at the number magic of three. If you want to take the Ravens, now is the time to do it before it creeps up above that number.

The Ravens offense has been fantastic through the first two weeks of the season, whereas the Patriots look lost on that side of the ball. This is the most confusing line of the week, in my opinion, so I expect the public to push it up to at least -3.5 in favor of the Ravens by the time Sunday comes around.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Indianapolis Colts Odds, Prediction and Pick

The Colts have been a disaster through the first two weeks, sporting an 0-1-1 record. Meanwhile, the Chiefs have beat two very good opponents, and now should be able to tee-off on a team that failed to beat the Texans or Jaguars.

With the Chiefs being the public darling that they are, don't be surprised if this numbers crosses the threshold of 7.0, and if it does, the value on Kansas City will be gone. Bet this one now if you want to take the Chiefs, before it's too late.

Las Vegas Raiders vs. Tennessee Titans Odds, Prediction and Pick

The Raiders and Titans game opened as a pick'em on Sunday night. Then, after the Titans dreadful performance against the Bills, the Raiders moved all the way up to 2.5-point favorites.

If the line movement continues, it will be at a field goal before you know it. If you want to fade the terrible Titans, do it now while it's still under the magic number of three.
