Week 3 of the NFL season is here, and we have an exciting slate of games to break down, plus not one but TWO Monday Night Football games.

The betting public loves the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-6.5) hosting the Denver Broncos today, even though the Bucs are down a few starters on defense. The Bucs have the most lopsided number of bets (83%) of any Week 3 NFL game at DraftKings Sportsbook.

Thomas Gable, sportsbook director at The Borgata in Atlantic City, texted me this morning, “Panthers at +6 have once again attracted respected money. Moved to 5.5. Also, the Chargers at +2.5.”

Here are four sharp Week 3 NFL plays that came in at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook this week, according to Jeff Sherman, VP of risk:

Eagles +3
Broncos +6.5
Rams +7
Falcons +3.5

And here are the three biggest needs of the day at Prime Sports (which caters to sharps):

Chargers +2
New York Giants +6
49ers -7.5

Top three games with the sharpest money:

Texans anywhere from +2.5 to -1
Eagles +3
Rams +7.5 / +7

“We’d also be very, very happy for the Chiefs lose outright and knock down the teasers.”

Below, I’ve compiled over 75 Week 3 NFL best bets from respected handicappers for you to peruse, along with public betting info from DraftKings and BetMGM.

I’ll update this page as the day goes on with more wagers.

Have a great Week 3!
