Opening odds and lines for NFL Week 3

Published:

By: Brendan O'Sullivan

NFL Week 2 is almost complete, with Sunday Night Football and both Monday night games still to go. Nevertheless, the opening odds for Week 3 are up on DraftKings Sportsbook.

It’s back to a typical schedule with one Thursday game, one Monday game and the other 14 on Sunday.

Here’s the full list of Week 3 odds on DraftKings Sportsbook. We will update it throughout the week.

Thursday Game, September 18

Dolphins at Bills – 8:15 p.m. ET

Odds on Sunday, September 14

SpreadTotalMoneyline
MIA Dolphins+12.5 -110O 49.5 -110+490
BUF Bills-12.5 -110U 49.5 -110-675

The Bills made easy work of the Jets in Week 2 — a smooth-sailing effort after Week 1’s late comeback. Meanwhile, the Dolphins took another nose dive in the standings. They lost to the Patriots at home and now are 0-2 to start the season.

Sunday Early Games – September 21

Packers at Browns – 1 p.m. ET

Odds on Sunday, September 14

SpreadTotalMoneyline
GB Packers-8.5 -110O 41.5 -110-410
CLE Browns+8.5 -110U 41.5 -110+320

The Packers look like the team to beat in the NFC North. They defeated the Lions in Week 1 and the Commanders in Week 2, two contenders in the conference. The Browns are up next and are a much easier opponent. They’re 0-2 and haven’t scored more than 17 in a game this season.

Colts at Titans – 1 p.m. ET

Odds on Sunday, September 14

SpreadTotalMoneyline
IND Colts-3 -108O 43.5 -110-155
TEN Titans+3 -112U 43.5 -110+130

The Colts should send a gift basket to the Broncos as a late penalty allowed Indianapolis to win. The team missed a 60-yard field goal but got a second chance at 45 yards due to a flag. The Titans, meanwhile, are still figuring things out with rookie quarterback Cam Ward. They’re 0-2, but it takes time to adjust to the NFL.

Bengals at Vikings – 1 p.m. ET

Odds on Sunday, September 14

SpreadTotalMoneyline
CIN Bengals+5.5 -110O 44.5 -110+195
MIN Vikings-5.5 -110U 44.5 -110-238

Although the Vikings aren’t playing until Sunday night, the odds for Week 3 are already set. Minnesota is favored despite the Bengals’ 2-0 start. Cincinnati looked much better in Week 2, showcasing its offensive weapons that take up much of the payroll.

Steelers at Patriots – 1 p.m. ET

Odds on Sunday, September 14

SpreadTotalMoneyline
PIT Steelers-1.5 -105O 44.5 -110-115
NE Patriots+1.5 -115U 44.5 -110-105

The Steelers couldn’t contain the Seahawks offense, allowing over 100 rushing yards to Kenneth Walker III and over 100 receiving yards to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Now they hit the road for the second time in three weeks to play the Patriots. Drake Maye has New England at 1-1 after defeating the lowly Dolphins in Week 2.

Rams at Eagles – 1 p.m. ET

Odds on Sunday, September 14

SpreadTotalMoneyline
LA Rams+4.5 -110O 45.5 -110+185
PHI Eagles-4.5 -110U 45.5 -110-225

The Eagles won their Super Bowl rematch against the Chiefs, asserting their dominance yet again. They’re 2-0 and will host the Rams in Week 3. Los Angeles is also 2-0 after handling the Titans in Week 2. Matthew Stafford threw for 298 yards and two touchdowns, with Davante Adams catching 106 of those yards and a touchdown.

Jets at Buccaneers – 1 p.m. ET

Odds on Sunday, September 14

SpreadTotalMoneyline
NY Jets+7 -110O 45.5 -105+250
TB Buccaneers-7 -110U 45.5 -115-310

The Jets scored 10 points in Week 2 after a great offensive showing in Week 1. The team is 0-2 and will play its first road game of the season against the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay hasn’t played its Week 2 game yet, but oddsmakers aren’t shy about marking the Buccaneers seven-point favorites in Week 3. Baker Mayfield and co. will make their home debut in this game.

Raiders at Commanders – 1 p.m. ET

Odds on Sunday, September 14

SpreadTotalMoneyline
LV Raiders+6.5 -110O 47.5 -110+225
WAS Commanders-6.5 -110U 47.5 -110-278

The Raiders won’t play until late Monday night against the Chargers, but the odds for Week 3 have arrived. Las Vegas is a 6.5-point underdog on the road against Washington. The Commanders lost to the Packers on Thursday Night Football and will have extra rest coming into this home game. Jayden Daniels will go head-to-head with Geno Smith.

Falcons at Panthers – 1 p.m. ET

Odds on Sunday, September 14

SpreadTotalMoneyline
ATL Falcons-3 -120O 45.5-175
CAR Panthers+3 +100U 45.5+145

The Falcons are currently playing Sunday Night Football, but it’s still a good time to check out their Week 3 odds. They play the Panthers, who have been underwhelming to say the least. Carolina is 0-2 with losses to the Jaguars and Cardinals. They’re making their home debut in Week 3 at least, so maybe that gives them an advantage.

Texans at Jaguars – 1 p.m. ET

Odds on Sunday, September 14

SpreadTotalMoneyline
HOU Texans+1.5 -118O 44.5 -110-105
JAX Jaguars-1.5 -102U 44.5 -110-115

An AFC South rivalry wraps up the 1 p.m. ET games in Week 3. The Texans won’t play until Monday night, but the oddsmakers have them as slight underdogs on the road in Week 3. C.J. Stroud will go head-to-head with Trevor Lawrence as the two young quarterbacks look to get an edge in the division race.

Sunday Late Games – September 21

Broncos at Chargers – 4:05 p.m. ET

Odds on Sunday, September 14

SpreadTotalMoneyline
DEN Broncos+2.5 -110O 45.5 -110+120
LA Chargers-2.5 -110U 45.5 -110-142

The Chargers won’t play their Week 2 matchup until late Monday night, but oddsmakers are already looking toward Week 3. They enter as slight favorites over the Broncos, who are 1-1 this season. Denver lost 29-28 to the Colts after a late penalty gave Indianapolis another shot at the game-winning field goal.

Saints at Seahawks – 4:05 p.m. ET

Odds on Sunday, September 14

SpreadTotalMoneyline
NO Saints+7.5 -115O 42.5 -110+275
SEA Seahawks-7.5 -105U 42.5 -110-345

The Seahawks’ defense quieted the Steelers in Week 2, winning 31-17; Pittsburgh scored one touchdown. On the other end, Sam Darnold finished with 295 yards, connecting with Jaxon Smith-Njigba for 103 yards. Kenneth Walker III ran for 105 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, the Saints lost 26-21 to the 49ers without Brock Purdy, Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle. New Orleans is still seeking its first victory of the season.

Cowboys at Bears – 4:25 p.m. ET

Odds on Sunday, September 14

SpreadTotalMoneyline
DAL Cowboys+1.5 -110O 48.5 -110+102
CHI Bears-1.5 -110U 48.5 -110-122

The Cowboys’ Week 2 game was a thriller to watch, but the team nearly lost to the Giants in overtime. Luckily, a late interception gave the team a third offensive possession in the extra period. The Bears were not as lucky, having to face the Lions and allowing 52 points. A Week 1 collapse followed by a Week 2 blowout … the Bears are in trouble at 0-2.

Cardinals at 49ers – 4:25 p.m. ET

Odds on Sunday, September 14

SpreadTotalMoneyline
ARI Cardinals-1.5 -105O 43.5 -110-118
SF 49ers+1.5 -115U 43.5 -110-102

Although the 49ers won in Week 2, the team will still be without Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle and likely Brock Purdy. Mac Jones remains the starter if that’s the case and it’s not a winning formula in the long term. The Cardinals are 2-0 to start the season and could take advantage of an injured 49ers squad in Week 3.

Sunday Night Game – September 21

Chiefs at Giants – 8:20 p.m. ET

Odds on Sunday, September 14

SpreadTotalMoneyline
KC Chiefs-5.5 -112O 42.5 -110-250
NY Giants+5.5 -108U 42.5 -110+205

The Chiefs are 0-2. Yes, you heard that correctly. While the losses are against notable teams, it’s still the same amount of losses last year’s squad finished with. It’s not a good start, but they’ll get a Sunday Night Football matchup with the 0-2 Giants in Week 3. New York nearly beat Dallas in overtime, losing 40-37.

Monday Night Games – September 22

Lions at Ravens – 8:15 p.m. ET

Odds on Sunday, September 14

SpreadTotalMoneyline
DET Lions+5.5 -110O 51.5 -110+200
BAl Ravens-5.5 -110U 51.5 -110-245

They saved the best for last. Two of the premier teams in the NFL will face off in Week 3’s only Monday Night Football game. The Lions looked much more like themselves in Week 2, scoring 52 against the Bears. The Ravens also bounced back after a collapse against the Bills in Week 1. The two 1-1 teams could make for a high-scoring affair in Week 3.
