SportsLine's Projection Model reveals its top Week 3 NFL picks, NFL best bets, NFL parlay picks, NFL parlay card, NFL predictions, and 25-1 football parlay

We should find out whether a few of the surprising 2–0 teams are pretenders or contenders this season, including the Vikings and Steelers.

Since 2010, according to VSiN, teams that start out the season 0-2 straight up are 26-25 in Week 3, but they are 35-15-1 against the spread when playing 1-1 teams in the third week. Think about that.

The NFL season moves so quickly that you better not blink, because you might miss it. It feels like just yesterday we were in the thick of training camps, but in the blink of an eye we are now into Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season,

It was a solid Week 2 for me -- at least against the spread. You would think I'd be better picking the games straight up, but that wasn't the case last week. I went 7-9 straight up for a 17-15 overall record and I was 9-6-1 ATS for a 17-12-3 record.

Week 3 in the NFL will undoubtedly feature some major twists between the start of Sunday and the end of the "Monday Night Football" doubleheader.

Last week was a great one to bet on the underdogs in the NFL. Kudos to anyone who bet on the Raiders to beat the Ravens outright at +350 (the spread was Raiders +9). For the week, the underdogs went 11-4-1 against the spread (ATS).
