Overview
- CBS Sports published full Week 3 odds and totals, with examples including Chiefs -11.5 and a 52.5 total for Ravens vs. Cowboys on the DraftKings board.
- SportsLine ran 10,000 simulations per game and released picks that favor the Detroit Lions to cover against the Jets and the San Francisco 49ers to cover against the Cardinals.
- The model also projects the Rams to beat the Broncos 22-21 while recommending Broncos +2.5 against the spread roughly 54% of the time and calling the Over on that game frequently.
- Week 2 quarterback injuries to Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Jaxson Dart have already altered expected starters and moved lines and totals, including the Titans‑Giants total dropping to 39.5 after Dart’s knee news.
- The Ravens‑Cowboys matchup in Rio de Janeiro is confirmed and is being treated as a material betting factor because travel, time‑zone shifts and the Maracanã field surface could affect preparation and prompt further line movement as practice reports arrive.
