NFL betting – Point spreads, over/unders for week 3 – odds, lines, payouts

20 September 2022

As NFLbets considers how to wager the bankroll in week 3 of the 2022 NFL season, we’ve got our quick list of early lines, point spreads and over/unders. Mull over these 16 games and we’ll meet you at the bottom of the page for a few hot takes.

• Pittsburgh Steelers +4½ at Cleveland Browns, over/under 38½ points
• Baltimore Ravens -3 at New England Patriots, O/U 43
• Buffalo Bills -5½ at Miami Dolphins, O/U 43
• Cincinnati Bengals -5 at New York Jets, O/U 45
• Detroit Lions +6 at Minnesota Vikings, O/U 53½
• Houston Texans +2½ at Chicago Bears, O/U 40½
• Kansas City Chiefs -7 at Indianapolis Colts, O/U 49½
• Las Vegas Raiders -2 at Tennessee Titans, O/U 45½
• New Orleans Saints -3 at Carolina Panthers, O/U 40
• Philadelphia Eagles -7 at Washington Commanders, O/U 47
• Jacksonville Jaguars +7 at Los Angeles Chargers, O/U 53
• Atlanta Falcons +2 at Seattle Seahawks, O/U 42
• Green Bay Packers +2 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers, O/U 41
• Los Angeles Rams -3½ at Arizona Cardinals, O/U 48½
• San Francisco 49ers -1½ at Denver Broncos, O/U 45
• Dallas Cowboys +2½ at New York Giants, O/U 39½

Hot takes, such as they are:

• Are the projected blowouts also the best bets? Chargers -7, Eagles -7 and Chiefs -7 all look really good…
• With that early 0-2 SU/2-0 ATS mark, oddsmakers are clearly taking no chances with the Atlanta Falcons with that +2 at Seattle. Covering the Seahawks to win by exactly 1 point is a bet that would take the cajones of Brian Daboll to pull off, though.
• The Bills-Dolphins over/under of 43 is probably too low, but the 49ers-Broncos over/under of 45 is clearly far too high.
