Week 3 NFL Betting Outlook

By week three, we can find analysts overreacting to teams with two losses in their record and crowning others with two wins; that’s what the NFL week 3 is all about.

Week 3 starts with an NFC South battle between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons on TNF; both squads lost in week two, meaning they need a victory on a short week.

Yet, no game will be as highly anticipated as the Super Bowl rematch between the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field.  Peyton Manning and company have been waiting for this matchup since losing 43-8 in the big game, but the bad news for them is the Seahawks are 15-1 in that building with Russell Wilson under center.

The Steelers and Panthers will play Sunday Night Football in what promises to be a hard-hitting encounter and the Chicago Bears and the NY Jets close the week on Monday Night football.

Here are the current NFL week 3 Odds:

• Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons (-6), Thursday
• San Diego Chargers at Buffalo Bills (-1)
