Washington Football Team at Buffalo Bills (1 p.m. ET)

  • Moneyline: WFT (+340), Bills (-440)
  • Spread: WFT +9.5 (-110), Bills -9.5 (-110)
  • Over/Under Points Total: Over 47 (-110), Under 47 (-110)
  • Implied Score: WFT 18.75, Bills 28.25

Chicago Bears at Cleveland Browns (1 p.m. ET)

  • Moneyline: Bears (+285), Browns (-360)
  • Spread: Bears +7.5 (-110), Browns -7.5 (-110)
  • Over/Under Points Total: Over 46.5 (-110)/Under 46.5 (-110)
  • Implied Point Totals: Bears 19.5, Browns 27

Baltimore Ravens at Detroit Lions (1 p.m. ET)

  • Moneyline: TBA
  • Spread: TBA
  • Over/Under Points Total: TBA
  • Implied Point Totals: TBA

Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans (1 p.m. ET)

  • Moneyline: Colts (+200), Titans (-240)
  • Spread: Colts +5 (-110), Titans -5 (-110)
  • Over/Under Points Total: Over 51 (-110), Under 51 (-110)
  • Implied Point Totals: Colts 23, Titans 28

Both the Colts and the Titans looked impressive in their Week 2 outings, albeit the differing results. However, this pick is less about how these teams have performed so far and more about momentum.

Carson Wentz suffered an ankle injury in Indianapolis’ loss, and his status for Week 3 is currently unknown. On the other hand, Derrick Henry and the Titans rallied their way to a hard-fought victory over Seattle, with Henry compiling 237 total yards.

Given the opposite directions these two teams appear to be heading, Titans -5 feels like a comfortable choice here.

Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs (1 p.m. ET)

  • Moneyline: TBA
  • Spread: TBA
  • Over/Under Points Total: TBA
  • Implied Point Totals: TBA

New Orleans Saints at New England Patriots (1 p.m. ET)

  • Moneyline: Saints (+140), Patriots (-160)
  • Spread: Saints +3 (-115), Patriots -3 (-105)
  • Over/Under Points Total: Over 43 (-110), Under 43 (-110)
  • Implied Point Totals: Saints 20, Patriots 23

Atlanta Falcons at New York Giants (1 p.m. ET)

  • Moneyline: Falcons (+145), Giants (-170)

  • Over/Under Points Total: Over 48.5 (-110), Under 48.5 (-110)
  • Implied Point Totals: Falcons 22.75, Giants 25.75

Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers (1 p.m. ET)

  • Moneyline: Bengals (+180), Steelers (-220)
  • Spread: Bengals +4.5 (-110), Steelers -4.5 (-110)
  • Over/Under Points Total: Over 45.5 (-110), Under 45.5 (-110)
  • Implied Point Totals: Bengals 19.75, Steelers 24.25

Arizona Cardinals at Jacksonville Jaguars (1 p.m. ET)

  • Moneyline: Cardinals (-330), Jaguars (+260)
  • Spread: Cardinals -7 (-110), Jaguars +7 (-110)
  • Over/Under Points Total: Over 52 (-110), Under 52 (-110)
  • Implied Point Totals: Cardinals 29.5, Jaguars 22.5

New York Jets at Denver Broncos (4:05 p.m. ET)

  • Moneyline: Jets (+475), Broncos (-700)
  • Spread: Jets +11 (-110), Broncos -11 (-110)
  • Over/Under Points Total: Over 41.5 (-110), Under 41.5 (-110)
  • Implied Point Totals: Jets 15.25, Broncos 26.25

Miami Dolphins at Las Vegas Raiders (4:05 p.m. ET)

  • Moneyline: Dolphins (+190), Raiders (-230)
  • Spread: Dolphins +4 (-110), Raiders -4 (-110)
  • Over/Under Points Total: Over 45.5 (-110), Under 45.5 (-110)
  • Implied Point Totals: Dolphins 20.75, Raiders 24.75

It just doesn’t seem wise to bet against Derek Carr and the Las Vegas Raiders right now. The 30-year-old has accumulated 817 passing yards and 4 touchdowns in his first two games, knocking off the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers in the process.

With Tua Tagovailoa‘s health in question, the Dolphins may not be able to do enough to offset what Carr and the Raiders are doing on the other side of the ball.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Los Angeles Rams (4:25 p.m. ET)

  • Moneyline: Buccaneers (+105), Rams (-125)
  • Spread: Buccaneers +1 (-105), Rams -1 (-115)
  • Over/Under Points Total: Over 54 (-110), Under 54 (-110)
  • Implied Point Totals: Buccaneers 26.5, Rams 27.5

Seattle Seahawks at Minnesota Vikings (4:25 p.m. ET)

  • Moneyline: Seahawks (-120), Vikings (+100)
  • Spread: Seahawks -1 (-110), Vikings +1 (-110)
  • Over/Under Points Total: Over 55 (-110), Under 55 (-110)
  • Implied Point Totals: Seahawks 28, Vikings 27

Both the Seahawks and the Vikings put up 30+ points against their respective opponents in Week 2, and it wouldn’t come as a huge surprise if the same happened when they meet in Minnesota during Week 3.

Russell Wilson, Dalvin Cook and two questionable defenses sounds like a combination sure to produce some big numbers.

Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers (Sunday Night Football, 8:20 p.m. ET)

  • Moneyline: Packers (+170), 49ers (-200)
  • Spread: Packers +4 (-110), 49ers -4 (-110)
  • Over/Under Points Total: Over 48 (-110), Under 48 (-110)
  • Implied Point Totals: Packers 22, 49ers 26

Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys (Monday Night Football, 8:15 p.m. ET)

  • Moneyline: Eagles (+170), Cowboys (-200)
  • Spread: Eagles +4 (-110), Cowboys -4 (-110)
  • Over/Under Points Total: Over 52 (-110), Under 52 (-110)
  • Implied Point Totals: Eagles 24, Cowboys 28
