NFL Standings 2020: Seattle Seahawks, Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers Are Top 3-0 Teams
Six teams are 3-0 after the third NFL Sunday of the 2020 season, making a case to be considered among the league’s top contenders.
Heading into their Week 3 “Monday Night Football” matchup, the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens remain the co-Super Bowl favorites. A couple of NFC teams with perfect records are gaining steam as possible challengers to the AFC powerhouses.
The Seattle Seahawks are the favorites in the conference with 10/1 Super Bowl odds, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, and a 3-0 start to the season. They are followed by Green Bay Packers, who have 15/1 championship odds with a perfect record.
The quality of Seattle’s wins and the play of Russell Wilson makes the Seahawks the top team in the conference. Seattle defeated the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, a week after beating the New England Patriots. Dallas and New England both have 19/1 Super Bowl odds.
Wilson is off to a historic start with 14 touchdown passes through three games. Seattle’s quarterback has only been picked off once, and he leads the NFL with a 139.0 passer rating.
Aaron Rodgers is an early MVP contender, as well, with nine touchdown passes, no interceptions and a 121.1 passer rating. Green Bay defeated the New Orleans Saints Sunday night. The Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Packers all have 14/1 Super Bowl odds.
Green Bay’s first two wins came against the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions, both of whom are 75/1 Super Bowl long shots.
The Chicago Bears are tied atop the NFC North standings with Green Bay as the conference’s third and final undefeated team, though you wouldn’t know it by looking at the Super Bowl odds. Chicago has 37/1 title odds after beating the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3, putting them behind 15 other teams.
Mitchell Trubisky was replaced with backup quarterback Nick Foles Sunday, sparking Chicago’s comeback win. The Bears’ three opponents this season have one combined win.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are undefeated with victories over three winless teams. Pittsburgh has the best Super Bowl odds of any 3-0 AFC team at 17/1.
Pittsburgh visits the Tennessee Titans in a Week 4 matchup of 3-0 teams. Tennessee is an early 1.5-point favorite over the Steelers. The Titans have 25/1 Super Bowl odds.
Tennessee has won three games by a total of six points. The Titans reached last season's AFC Championship Game.
The Buffalo Bills have 18/1 Super Bowl odds as the sixth 3-0 team. Josh Allen has played as well as any AFC quarterback, ranking second in passing yards and passing touchdowns. The quarterback led Buffalo on a game-winning touchdown drive in Week 3 over the Los Angeles Rams, who were seeking a 3-0 record of their own.
Buffalo is scheduled to face Tennessee in two weeks and Kansas City in Week 6.
