Week 3 NFL betting leans heavy toward Philadelphia as SportsLine’s model predicts the defending champs to cover the -3.5 vs Los Angeles, gauging Hurts’ dual-threat and a deep Eagles offense. The slate highlights tight lines like Steelers-Patriots (-1.5) and Cowboys-Bears (-1). The model touts a 37-17 run on top picks since 2024, with a potential 25-1 parlay. It also flags underdogs with value and emphasizes game scripts that raise fantasy upside for key playmakers.

Vikings place Aaron Jones Sr. on IR with a hamstring injury, forcing a backfield reshuffle as Jordan Mason steps into a featured role behind a revamped depth chart that includes Ty Chandler and rookie Zavier Scott. Desmond Ridder lands on Minnesota’s active roster to provide veteran QB depth behind Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer. Cam Akers joins the practice squad, a familiar name with coaching ties to Kevin O’Connell and Wes Phillips. The move slate reshapes Minnesota’s fantasy outlook at RB and QB for the coming weeks.

Packers sit among 10 undefeated teams through Week 2, but a 17-0 finish is a long shot with implied odds about 1.96% at FanDuel. Green Bay’s two solid wins, 27-point outputs and a defense that stymied opponents in the first three quarters, set up a softer upcoming slate: Browns, Cowboys, Bengals (without Burrow), Cardinals, Steelers, Panthers, then a Week 10 clash with the Eagles. Bettors note that while the NFC race remains wide open, the Packers’ path to perfect regular season is uncertain, making their 11.5-win projection and NFC homefield odds intriguing bets for fantasy and markets.
