NFL 2016 Week 3 Lines: Point Spreads, Totals And Complete Betting Odds From Las Vegas
The 2016 NFL season is still in the early stages, but time is quickly running out for a few teams to get their acts together. Teams that start 0-2 rarely make the playoffs, and a few winless teams could have even more trouble in Week 3.
The Cleveland Browns blew a 20-point lead in Week 2, and they are the biggest underdogs on the Week 3 schedule. They are getting 10 points on the road against the Miami Dolphins, who are also 0-2. Miami has two close losses to playoff teams, while Cleveland will start their third quarterback in as many weeks, relying on rookie Cody Kessler.
The betting lines indicate that the Buffalo Bills, Washington Redskins and Chicago Bears could all start the season with three straight losses. The Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints are favored against 1-1 teams, despite having no wins themselves.
The matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars features the smallest betting line of the week. The contest is a pick’em, though Baltimore could find themselves favored slightly by the time the game kicks off. Baltimore has been favored in both of their wins, and Jacksonville has been the underdog in both of their losses.
The "Monday Night Football" game between the Saints and Atlanta Falcons is the only one that features an over/under of at least 50 points. The Houston Texans and New England Patriots are expected to combine for just over 40 points on Thursday night, following the injury to Jimmy Garoppolo.
Some sportsbooks haven't set a line for the game between the Denver Broncos and Cincinnati Bengals. Andy Dalton appeared to suffer an ankle injury in Cincinnati’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, though it didn’t look very serious since he finished the game.
