The top Week 3 picks in the DraftKings Pro Football Pick ‘Em National Championship

Week 3 of the 2020 NFL regular season is officially underway, and picks are in for the DraftKings Pro Football Pick ‘Em National Championship. The Dolphins beat the Jaguars to open the week on Thursday Night Football, and the surprise thumping cost 78 people an early point. Congrats to the 42 folks who picked the Dolphins to cover!

The DK contest runs through Week 16 and requires entrants pick five games per week against the spread. They can skip two weeks during the 16-week schedule as byes, but otherwise, they’re making five picks per week. The lines are set on Wednesday and remains static until the games kick off.

This week, the betting public is heavily backing the Patriots in the DraftKings Pro Football Pick ‘Em National Championship. With 48.6 percent of all entries are taking the Patriots to cover as home favorites against the Raiders. The second most popular pick is the Giants at home against a banged-up 49ers squad, with 26.4 percent of picks on Big Blue.

The Raiders are the least popular pick in Week 3, with only 4.3 percent of entries thinking they can hang with the Patriots. The Browns are the second lowest at 6.0 percent. The Jets are on 6.3 percent of entries, and I suspect that double digit spread against the Colts was just enough to get a couple more people on board with a horrendous Jets squad.

Good luck to all in Week 3!
