NFL Week 3 Spread Picks

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cleveland Browns

  • PICK: Browns -3.5

New Orleans Saints vs. Carolina Panthers

  • PICK: Panthers +3

Houston Texans vs. Chicago Bears

  • PICK: Bears -2.5

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Indianapolis Colts

  • PICK: Colts +5.5

Buffalo Bills vs. Miami Dolphins

  • PICK: Bills -6.5

Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings

  • PICK: Vikings -5.5

Baltimore Ravens vs. New England Patriots

  • PICK: Ravens -2.5

Cincinnati Bengals vs. New York Jets

  • PICK: Bengals -6

Las Vegas Raiders vs. Tennessee Titans

  • PICK: Raiders -1.5

The Titans have looked like one of the worst teams in the NFL through the first two weeks. Now, they take on a Raiders team that outplayed their opponents in both of their first two games, despite losing both. I expect Las Vegas to win this matchup handedly.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Commanders

  • PICK: Commanders +6.5

No team is in a bigger sell high spot than the Philadelphia Eagles. After winning big on Monday night, people are starting to crown them the best team in the NFC. More often than not, bold claims like that get proven false sooner rather than later.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Los Angeles Chargers

  • PICK: Jaguars +7

Los Angeles Rams vs. Arizona Cardinals

  • PICK: Rams -3.5

Atlanta Falcons vs. Seattle Seahawks

  • PICK: Falcons -1

Green Bay Packers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

  • PICK: Packers +1.5

Tampa Bay has failed to score a touchdown in the first half of each of their first two games this season. If they do the same against the Packers, Green Bay is going to run away with this one.

San Francisco 49ers vs. Denver Broncos

  • PICK: 49ers -1.5

Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants

  • PICK: Cowboys +1.5
