Must Bet Games in Week 3 of the 2022-23 NFL Season
2022 NFL Week 3
- When: Thursday, Sep. 22 – Sunday, Sep. 25
Las Vegas Raiders at Tennessee Titans
- When: Sunday, Sep. 25
The Titans should go off around -3 to -4. Tennessee takes on the Raiders at Nissan Stadium in Nashville. Not only that, but most feel heading into the season, the Titans are the better team.
Thinking that is a mistake. The Raiders hired one of the best play-callers in the NFL in Josh McDaniels. Also, quarterback Derek Carr reconnects with his college teammate, wide receiver Davante Adams. The Raiders can win straight up.
NFL Week 3 Pick: Las Vegas Raiders
Kansas City Chiefs at Indianapolis Colts
- When: Sunday, Sep. 25
Kansas City has a brutal early schedule. The Chiefs start the season at Arizona in week 1. Then in their second game, KC hosts the Los Angeles Chargers.
By the time the Chiefs head to Indianapolis, Kansas City’s defense could be too gassed to keep up with Matt Ryan, Jonathan Taylor, and the Colts’ offense. Indy wins.
NFL Week 3 Pick: Indianapolis Colts
Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins
- When: Sunday, Sep. 25
No doubt, Buffalo will be one of the teams to beat to win the Super Bowl. But this is a road game versus a strong Miami team that has improved big time from last season.
Mike McDaniel is a terrific coach. He will call plays that gives Tua Tagovailoa a chance to succeed. The Dolphins aren’t as good as the Bills on paper. But the fact this happens at Hard Rock Stadium makes all the difference.
NFL Week 3 Pick: Miami Dolphins
Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots
- When: Sunday, Sep. 25
Baltimore looks like the better team. But the Ravens may not be as effective on defense as so many believe they will be.
Almost as important? Mac Jones should improve from his second season to his first. Jones has the makings of an all-pro quarterback.
Bill Belichick doesn’t appear nervous even though Josh McDaniel took the head coach position with the Raiders. Expect the Patriots’ defense to contain Baltimore’s rushing attack. The home team wins.
NFL Week 3 Pick: New England Patriots
Green Bay Packers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- When: Sunday, Sep. 25
It’s difficult to know how effective Green Bay’s offense will be now that Davante Adams calls Las Vegas home. But even if Green Bay doesn’t average as many points as they did with Adams, quarterback Aaron Rodgers will find a way to make the Packers contenders.
Tom Brady, like Rodgers, will make his team a contender. But Brady doesn’t play defense and heading into the season, the Packers’ D looks slightly better than Tampa’s. Green Bay gets the moneyline nod.
NFL Week 3 Pick: Green Bay Packers
San Francisco 49ers at Denver Broncos
- When: Sunday, Sep. 25
No matter who plays quarterback, San Francisco will be a good football team. But the 49ers face a tall task beating the Broncos in Denver.
Denver has one of the best wide receiver units in the league. Russell Wilson should have a ton of success this season. The Broncos’ defense is also a very good unit. Denver wins and covers.
NFL Week 3 Pick: Denver Broncos
