NFL Week 3 picks and predictions: Broncos, Bills, Eagles favored

Experts across major sportsbooks release opening odds and early picks for all 16 Week 3 NFL games.

What to know

  • Week 3 NFL odds released across major platforms; experts emphasize how quarterback injuries significantly reshape matchup outcomes, particularly Caleb Williams' absence for the Bears and Myles Garrett/Puka Nacua losses for the Rams.
  • Broncos favored over Rams based on Denver's strong home record with Bo Nix and Rams' diminished roster; Bills positioned as AFC favorites following dominant Week 2 wins.
  • Eagles backed over Bears with Jalen Hurts facing backup Tyson Bagent; early-week betting markets show continued movement on totals, reflecting ongoing team evaluation from limited sample size.

“The Eagles catch an important break after working hard to avoid their Titans upset in Week 2. Caleb Williams (hamstring) will be at least be missing this game, pushing the QB matchup highly in the favor of Jalen Hurts vs. rusty backup Tyson Bagent.”

    Sporting News releases Week 3 picks with emphasis on injury impact

    Vinnie Iyer provides fearless forecasts for all 16 Week 3 matchups, highlighting key injury absences affecting team performance. Notable picks include Broncos over Rams (citing Myles Garrett and Puka Nacua absences for LA), Eagles over Bears (with Caleb Williams sidelined by hamstring injury), and Bills over Chargers. The analysis emphasizes how small sample sizes from Week 2 still leave teams difficult to evaluate.

    “The Rams have lost Myles Garrett for a while and now Puka Nacua is on the shelf, too. Those are significant game-changing pieces who set the critical tone for the defense and offense.”
