The NFL Week 3 lines are out, and there are some juicy favorites to mull over heading out of Monday Night Football.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns (-5)
The Browns and Steelers are both without a real quarterback, but the Browns are at home and have to be steaming after that ridiculous loss to the Jets.
Houston Texans at Chicago Bears (-2.5)
The Bears and Texans are on the same level. Chicago, though, is at home, with a better defense and reason to believe it can get to 2-1.
Las Vegas Raiders (-1) at Tennessee Titans
The Raiders are facing the end of their season if they lose this game. Being more talented, they should handle business.
Kansas City Chiefs (-6.5) at Indianapolis Colts
Have you seen the Colts? They should play better in Week 3, but they couldn’t handle the Jaguars. Good luck against the Chiefs.
Buffalo Bills (-4) at Miami Dolphins
The Bills will be out to prove they’re the beasts of the East. Miami looks legit, but this might be its biggest test of the year.
Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings (-6.5)
Expect a ton of points, but the Vikings have a defense that should get more stops than Detroit’s unit. Look for Justin Jefferson to have a huge game.
Baltimore Ravens (-3) at New England Patriots
The Ravens, much like the Browns and Raiders, are coming off awful losses. Expect a vintage performance.
Cincinnati Bengals (-4.5) at New York Jets
If the Bengals lose this game, they’re done. Joe Burrow needs time, but he should find it against New York’s front.
Philadelphia Eagles (-4) at Washington Commanders
The Eagles are a much better team, with a better quarterback, and a superior defense.
New Orleans Saints (-3) at Carolina Panthers
Baker Mayfield has struggled badly, and although Jameis Winston is always a concern, he’s surrounded by much better talent.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Los Angeles Chargers (-7)
As long as Justin Herbert is healthy, the Chargers should handle the Jags at home.
Los Angeles Rams (-4) at Arizona Cardinals
Los Angeles needs to play better, but the Rams are a much more talented team than the beat-up Cards.
Atlanta Falcons at Seattle Seahawks (-2)
The Falcons look downright awful defensively, and the Seahawks, while limited, have weapons to create a few big plays.
Green Bay Packers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-2.5)
Great game, but who has the weapons? And which defense has given up a combined 13 points?
San Francisco 49ers (-1) at Denver Broncos
Why are the Niners not laying more points? The Broncos have looked awful through two weeks.
Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants (-2.5)
The Giants are 2-0, playing with a ton of confidence, get Cooper Rush in primetime, and they’re home.
