At times, it makes sense to forego betting on an NFL team to cover the spread and instead roll the dice on the team to win straight up. Often we can find decent money line overlays that allow us to potentially profit more if we don’t take the points. We can also lay a bit extra to not have to lay the points.
In our NFL Week 3 SU picks blog, we’ve got a couple of overlay money line choices, a couple of roll the dice money line choices, and a few ML choices that make sense. Keep reading for straight up NFL odds, analysis, and free picks for NFL Week 3.

2023-24 NFL | 104th season of the National Football League
NFL Week 3: Thursday, September 28th – Monday, October 2nd, 2023
Atlanta Falcons at Detroit Lions
SU: Falcons +140
Sunday, September 24th, 2023 at 1:00 PM | FOX
Ford Field, Detroit, MI
In NFL Week 2, the Detroit Lions allowed the Seattle Seahawks to hang around until eventually the Seahawks got a lead. Detroit rallied to force overtime, but Seattle managed an OT victory.
Atlanta rallied to beat the Green Bay Packers by a point as a +2 home underdog. The problem the Lions will have in this game is containing the Falcons’ rushing attack. Bijan Robinson, Tyler Allgier, and Desmond Ridder can rush the ball. The ATL gets the road win.

New Orleans Saints at Green Bay Packers
SU: Saints +104
Sunday, September 24th, 2023 at 1:00 PM | FOX
Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI
Green Bay is a solid team, but this game could come down to defense versus quarterback and in that sense, the Saints have the edge.
Derek Carr has more experience than Jordan Love. Carr also has more weapons. Green Bay’s defense will struggle to keep Carr, Thomas, and Olave from moving the football. On the other side, Love will have an issue versus a Saints’ D that’s given up 15 points to the Titans and 17 to the Panthers in a couple of games.

Los Angeles Chargers at Minnesota Vikings
SU: Vikings -110
Sunday, September 24th, 2023 at 1:00 PM | FOX
Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI
The Bolts can’t close. Los Angeles had a shot at upsetting the Miami Dolphins in week 1. Then in NFL Week 2, LAC had a chance to put away the Tennessee Titans.
The Chargers failed in both games. On Sunday, the Bolts take on Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson. If that wasn’t difficult enough, Justin Herbert and the Chargers offense goes against an aggressive Brian Flores coached defense. The Vikings ends the Chargers down the 0-3 rabbit hole.

New England Patriots at New York Jets
SU: Patriots -147
Sunday, September 24th, 2023 at 1:00 PM | CBS
MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ
The Patriots are -147 money line favorites even though this game happens in New York because, no doubt, Zach Wilson shouldn’t have a better game than Mac Jones.
The Jets D will step it up, but it’s difficult for anybody in NYJ’s organization to find motivation with Wilson at quarterback. So the Patriots are the pick.

Buffalo Bills at Washington Commanders
SU: Commanders +228
Sunday, September 24th, 2023 at 1:00 PM | CBS
FedExField, Landover, MD
We’re taking another shot on the Commanders. Washington went to Denver last week, spotted the Broncos a 21-3 lead, and then rallied for the victory.
D.C. has the defense to rough up Josh Allen. Also, Allen and his mates head to FedEx Field a week after a blowout victory over the Raiders. So a bounce could happen.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Las Vegas Raiders | Sunday Night Football
SU: Raiders -107
Sunday, September 24th, 2023 at 8:20 PM | NBC
Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, NV
The Steelers played great football to upset rival Cleveland on Monday night. However, on Sunday, Pittsburgh travels to Allegiant Stadium on a short week to battle a Raiders squad that laid an egg versus Buffalo.
Vegas bounces back with a big win.

Philadelphia Eagles at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
SU: Buccaneers +191
Monday, September 25th, 2023 at 7:15 PM | ABC, ESPN+
Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, FL
The Eagles’ defense hasn’t played well. Philly gave up 20 points to New England in the first game. Then in their second, Minnesota rallied to make the game close in a 34-28 Eagles victory.
Tampa is 2-0 because Baker Mayfield is playing great football and the Tampa D has rediscovered it’s 2020-2021 form. Tampa is, no doubt, one of the better teams in the NFC this season. So this game will be close enough for us to take a shot on the home team Bucs to get it done.

Los Angeles Rams at Cincinnati Bengals | Monday Night Football
SU: Bengals -128
Monday, September 25th, 2023 at 8:15 PM | ESPN, ESPN2
Paycor Stadium, Cincinnati, OH
The odds are fair on the Bengals. The Rams have a lot of young, fast, determined players. But Cincinnati is desperate for a victory.
Cincinnati prevents the playoff chances killing 0-3 start and beat the Rams at home.
