Week 3 of the NFL<\/a> season has arrived, and with two rounds in the books, early-season trends are starting to take shape.<\/p>\n From Friday\u2019s divisional battle between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins to a blockbuster Tuesday morning clash between two Super Bowl<\/a> contenders, we\u2019ve got every matchup covered with betting previews, key angles, and best bets for the week.<\/p>\n Miami Dolphins v Buffalo Bills<\/p>\n Friday, September 19 \u2013 10:15am AEST \u2013 Highmark Stadium, Buffalo<\/p>\n The Bills have piled up 71 points in their two wins, showcasing Josh Allen and the offence in full flight. They now meet a Dolphins defense that has already leaked 66 points in two defeats. With both teams stacked with playmakers, Week 3 should open with a shootout.<\/p>\n Green Bay Packers v Cleveland Browns<\/p>\n Monday, September 22 \u2013 3am AEST \u2013 Huntington Bank Field, Cleveland <\/p>\n Fresh off back-to-back wins over the Lions and Commanders, the Packers head to Cleveland to take on a Browns outfit still chasing their first win of the season. The addition of Micah Parsons has bolstered Green Bay\u2019s defence, making them tough to break down, and with an eight-point head start, the visitors look well placed to cover the line.<\/p>\n Indianapolis Colts v Tennessee Titans<\/p>\n Monday, September 22 \u2013 3am AEST \u2013 Nissan Stadium, Nashville<\/p>\n The Colts have been the early surprise of the 2025\u201326 NFL season, with quarterback Daniel Jones steering a young roster to consecutive wins. The Titans have shown glimpses of improvement, but their shaky run defence remains an issue \u2014 giving Jones an excellent platform to keep the momentum rolling and extend Indianapolis\u2019 unbeaten start.<\/p>\n Daniel Jones anytime touchdown<\/p>\n Pittsburgh Steelers v New England Patriots<\/p>\n Monday, September 22 \u2013 3am AEST \u2013 Gillette Stadium, Foxborough<\/p>\n The Patriots and Steelers square off at Foxborough with both teams sitting at 1\u20131. New England\u2019s defence has already coughed up more than 600 passing yards in two games, and that sets the stage for Aaron Rodgers to exploit the secondary.<\/p>\n With his chemistry building quickly with DK Metcalf, expect the star wideout to find the end zone again.<\/p>\n DK Metcalf anytime touchdown<\/p>\n Cincinnati Bengals v Minnesota Vikings<\/p>\n Monday, September 22 \u2013 3am AEST \u2013 U.S. Bank Stadium, Minneapolis<\/p>\n The Bengals and Vikings clash at U.S. Bank Stadium with both sides forced to turn to backup quarterbacks after Week 2 setbacks. Cincinnati\u2019s offensive line has been shaky, and that\u2019s a worrying sign against a Minnesota defence that thrives on pressure.<\/p>\n With home-field advantage and a disruptive unit, the Vikings look well positioned to cover by at least a field goal.<\/p>\n Los Angeles Rams v Philadelphia Eagles<\/p>\n Monday, September 22 \u2013 3am AEST \u2013 Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia<\/p>\n The Rams and Eagles both put perfect records on the line after impressive Week 2 wins. Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts has already punched in three touchdowns through two games, leaning on the near-unstoppable \u201ctush push\u201d that powered last season\u2019s Super Bowl run.<\/p>\n Against the Rams\u2019 front, expect that short-yardage weapon to keep delivering.<\/p>\n Jalen Hurts anytime touchdown<\/p>\n New York Jets v Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/p>\n Monday, September 22 \u2013 3am AEST \u2013 Raymond Jones Stadium, Tampa<\/p>\n The Jets head to Tampa without starting quarterback Justin Fields, a major blow as they prepare to face the unbeaten Buccaneers. Tampa Bay are coming off a gritty comeback win over the Texans and carry plenty of momentum into Week 3.<\/p>\n With the Jets shorthanded under center, the home side looks a solid bet to cover the line.<\/p>\n Las Vegas Raiders v Washington Commanders<\/p>\n Monday, September 22 \u2013 3am AEST \u2013 Northwest Stadium, Landover<\/p>\n The Commanders aim to rebound against the Raiders, who also sit 1\u20131 after being outclassed by the Chargers on Monday night. Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels is questionable, and even if he takes the field, he\u2019s unlikely to be fully fit.<\/p>\n That should slow both offences and point toward a low-scoring contest.<\/p>\n Atlanta Falcons v Carolina Panthers<\/p>\n Monday, September 22 \u2013 3am AEST \u2013 Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte<\/p>\n The Panthers have stumbled out of the gate with two straight losses and now welcome a Falcons side brimming with confidence after Bijan Robinson racked up 168 scrimmage yards in a win over the Vikings. With Atlanta in rhythm and Carolina struggling, the Falcons are worthy road favourites and the smart play with the six-point line.<\/p>\n Houston Texans v Jacksonville Jaguars<\/p>\n Monday, September 22 \u2013 3am AEST \u2013 EverBank Stadium, Jacksonville<\/p>\n The Jaguars and Texans square off in a pivotal AFC South clash after both made sluggish starts to the 2025 season. Houston quarterback C.J. Stroud has yet to find top gear, but with more reps to build timing and rhythm with his receivers, the Texans look a genuine chance to break through for their first win.<\/p>\n Denver Broncos v Los Angeles Chargers<\/p>\n Monday, September 22 \u2013 6:05am AEST \u2013 SoFi Stadium, Inglewood<\/p>\n Two of the league\u2019s stronger defences collide at SoFi Stadium as the Chargers welcome the Broncos in an AFC West battle. Los Angeles are 2\u20130 thanks largely to their stingy defence, while Denver remain a tough unit to break down despite last week\u2019s narrow loss to the Colts.<\/p>\n This matchup shapes as a grind, with points likely at a premium.<\/p>\n New Orleans Saints v Seattle Seahawks<\/p>\n Monday, September 22 \u2013 6:05am AEST \u2013 Lumen Field, Seattle<\/p>\n The Seahawks bounced back from their opening loss with a convincing win over the Steelers and now face a winless Saints side in Seattle. Running back Kenneth Walker rediscovered his spark in Week 2, piling up 118 scrimmage yards and a touchdown, and he should get ample chances to hit paydirt again against New Orleans.<\/p>\n Kenneth Walker anytime touchdown<\/p>\n Dallas Cowboys v Chicago Bears<\/p>\n Monday, September 22 \u2013 6:25am AEST \u2013 Soldier Field, Chicago<\/p>\n Both the Cowboys and Bears have been leaky on defence, with their four combined games racking up a huge 245 total points. Chicago rookie Rome Odunze was a bright spot in last week\u2019s heavy loss to the Lions, hauling in 128 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n
