Last week was a rough one for favourites in the NFL, as each of the top three ATS faves took straight-up losses. But our staff is looking for that storyline to shift in Week 3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ve got ATS predictions for all 16 games, and our staff writers are backing the favourites in 10 of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check out our NFL Week 3 ATS picks for predictions and analysis on every game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perri<\/strong> says<\/strong>: New York hasn’t been favoured by this many points over its divisional rival since 2000. With that said, I think it’s deserved. Aaron Rodgers is settling into a groove and the Jets simply have more talent on the offensive side of the ball. Jerod Mayo’s group is frisky but I can’t see Jacoby Brissett doing damage behind a banged-up offensive line.
Pick<\/strong>: Jets -6<\/p>\n\n\n\nNFL Week 3 ATS picks: The Sunday slate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Perri<\/strong> says<\/strong>: Two young, unproven quarterbacks lock horns when Caleb Williams takes on Anthony Richardson. Neither has looked particularly strong so far, so I’ll ride with the home team. Chicago needed a miracle to beat Tennessee in Week 1 and its offence looked anemic against Houston on SNF. At least Indianapolis put 27 points up against the Texans in Week 1.
Pick<\/strong>: Colts -1.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perri<\/strong> says<\/strong>: This is a full fade on Daniel Jones. The sixth-year signal caller bounced back against the Commanders last week but was awful against a strong Vikings defence in his season opener. Cleveland allowed just 13.9 points per game at home last year and is capable of keeping New York out of the end zone on Sunday.
Pick<\/strong>: Browns -6.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Horrobin<\/strong> says<\/strong>: Green Bay likely won’t be able to run as freely as it did in last week’s upset win over the Colts, but Malik Willis (12-of-14, 122 yards, one TD) showed enough for me to believe he can complement the Packers’ stout defence. Green Bay has forced an NFL-high six takeaways, while Tennessee has committed an NFL-high five turnovers. Ride with Will “Hellmann’s” Levis at your own peril.
Pick<\/strong>: Packers +1.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perri<\/strong> says<\/strong>: In Klint Kubiak we trust. New Orleans’ new offensive coordinator has the Saints leading the league in points per game and EPA per play. Going into Dallas and destroying the Cowboys was impressive and I’m keen on backing NOLA’s offence against an Eagles team that’s looked shaky, at best.
Pick<\/strong>: Saints -2.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Horrobin<\/strong> says<\/strong>: I view this game as a coin flip, where the last team may very well kick a field goal to win, 13-10. Both sides have a Week 1 win that could age well (Chargers over Raiders, Steelers over Falcons) and a Week 2 win against a team going nowhere. If there\u2019s any separation, it might be with the fact that the Chargers have run the ball at will. I\u2019ll ride with the team churning for 5.6 yards\/rush.
Pick<\/strong>: Chargers +1.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toman<\/strong> says<\/strong>: I’m not putting much stock into Minnesota’s Week 2 victory over the 49ers. It was a good win to be sure, but the 49ers were on a short week and down star tailback Christian McCaffrey. Both teams are 2-0 but the undefeated Texans are the side I want to be on. C.J. Stroud has played excellent football and has a lot of weapons to work with. This will be the Vikings’ biggest challenge yet.
Pick<\/strong>: Texans -2<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toman<\/strong> says<\/strong>: Bo Nix’s career isn’t off to a great start as the QB has thrown zero touchdowns and four interceptions through two games. Baker Mayfield has led the Bucs to a double-digit win over Washington and an upset victory over Detroit. Tampa has done its part to prove last year’s success was no fluke. The Bucs have covered both games after posting the second-best ATS record (11-6) in the NFL last season.
Pick<\/strong>: Buccaneers -7<\/p>\n\n\n\nNFL 4 p.m. slate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Horrobin<\/strong> says<\/strong>: Carolina was utterly outclassed in its first two games, but the quarterback change gives me hope that things will be tidier this week. Andy Dalton, who threw for two TDs in his lone start last year, relieves an embattled Bryce Young \u2026 who has two TDs over his past nine starts. At this number, Las Vegas is just 4-14-1 ATS since the start of last year.
Pick<\/strong>: Panthers +5<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toman<\/strong> says<\/strong>: Miami’s offence was awful in Week 2 before Tua Tagovailoa went down with a concussion. It was non-existent once he exited and Skylar Thompson took over at QB. Until Thompson proves he can get the ball to playmakers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, I’m staying away from the Dolphins. Seattle is banged up and has enjoyed a soft schedule, but it takes a 2-0 record into this home contest.
Pick<\/strong>: Seahawks -4.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Horrobin<\/strong> says<\/strong>: I picked against Kyler Murray and the Cards last week, and they turned around and walloped the Rams, 41-10. Detroit beat the same L.A. squad by just six points (in overtime) the Sunday before. Arizona’s offence was in sport mode a week ago and should be able to keep pace with a team flying across the continent to play them.
Pick<\/strong>: Cardinals +3 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perri says<\/strong>: This is a tough one to pick with two banged-up offences but I’ll lean with the Niners. San Francisco can still attack on the ground and Los Angeles has gotten gashed in the trenches so far. Matthew Stafford has no Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua, which should allow the Niners to stack the box and wreak havoc.
Pick<\/strong>: 49ers -7<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toman<\/strong> says<\/strong>: Baltimore could easily be 2-0 but enters Week 3 in must-win territory. After blowing a 10-point, fourth-quarter lead to the Raiders they now have to win on the road against the Cowboys, who were dismantled by the Saints last week. The Ravens have been significantly better at running the ball and stopping the run, and I think that proves to be the difference on Sunday.
Pick<\/strong>: Ravens -1<\/p>\n\n\n\nSunday and Monday night ATS picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Perri<\/strong> says<\/strong>: This could come back to bite me but I haven’t been that impressed with Kansas City. The defending champs eked out a one-point win over Cincinnati at home and were a toenail away from overtime against Baltimore. Those are two good teams but Kirk Cousins and the Falcons are coming off a big win and should keep rolling. KC is 6-8-1 ATS as a road favourite over the last three seasons.
Pick<\/strong>: Falcons +3.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Horrobin<\/strong> says<\/strong>: Buffalo is only 5-6 ATS at home since the start of last season, but its average margin of victory in those games is 12.3 points. With that in mind, this is a very manageable spread for a team that\u2019s looked sharp so far. After the Dolphins beat the Jaguars in Miami, 20-17, the Bills went down to South Florida and beat the Fins by three TDs.
Pick<\/strong>: Bills -5<\/p>\n\n\n\n
