NFL Week 3 Wild Wagering Trends
Two weeks of the 2021 NFL season is in the books and with every passing week, we get a little bit smarter.
As we head into Week 3 of the season, it’s always fun to start the handicapping process by taking a look at some of the most noteworthy betting trends.
Here are the top three most wild betting trends heading into NFL Week 3. All odds listed are via WynnBET Sportsbook.
Atlanta Falcons vs. New York Giants -3 | Over/Under 48
The UNDER is 11-1 in the last 12 meetings between the Falcons and Giants
If you want to blindly back a wild trend, look no further than the UNDER 48 between the Atlanta Falcons and the New York Giants. The UNDER has gone 11-1 in the last 12 meetings between the two teams, and 13-2 overall dating back to when betting data was available in 1984.
Not only that, but the UNDER is 8-1 in the Giants' last nine games.
Does this mean that the UNDER is a lock this weekend, or does it mean they’re due for an OVER to hit?
That’s for you to decide, I’m just here to supply the numbers.
The total is set at 48 for their Week 3 showdown.
Los Angeles Chargers vs. Kansas City Chiefs -6.5 | Over/Under 55.5
The Chiefs are 1-11-1 ATS in their last 13 games
You’d think that betting on good teams would be an easy way to make money, but that’s certainly not the case with the Kansas City Chiefs. The two-time AFC champions are 1-11-1 against the spread dating back to last season, and they’ve got off to an 0-2 ATS start to the 2021 campaign.
The Chiefs are now 1-11-1 ATS over their last 13 games. Previous to this they were on a 15-2 ATS tear.

As a sports bettor, this is one of the lessons that you begin to learn as you grow. Betting on the best teams isn’t always a profitable strategy.
They’re 6.5-point home favorites to the Chargers on Sunday afternoon.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Los Angeles Rams +1 | Over/Under 55
The UNDER is 8-1 at SoFi Stadium
The Rams moved into SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California last season, and the UNDER has been a great bet in all of their home games since. It went 8-0 in 2020, but the Rams first home game this year against the Chicago Bears was the first one to go OVER the total.
Regardless, it’s still 8-1 since the team moved into SoFi Stadium.
Is it the turf? Is it the atmosphere? Who knows, but it’s one of the most wild trends you’ll find in the NFL right now.
The total is set at 55 for the Sunday afternoon matchup between the Bucs and Rams.
