Week 3 was an early reminder to NFL fans and bettors that the league is unpredictable from week to week, especially this early in the 2024 season.
Of the 13 NFL games played Sunday, eight were won by underdogs. Four were favorites of six points or more — the Cleveland Browns, The Las Vegas Raiders, San Francisco 49ers And Tampa Bay Buccaneers — were among the losing teams, and their performances against lesser-known competition will send some bettors back to the drawing board as they determine Week 4 strategies.
Week 4 will feature many good games that will attract the attention of fans and bettors alike. Minnesota Vikings play their first division match against the Green Bay Packerswho could get Jordan Love back after missing two games with a medial collateral ligament sprain. Buffalo Bills And Baltimore Ravens will face off in a marquee “Sunday Night Football” game that will serve as both a potential playoff preview and a significant moment for the Ravens, who enter the contest with a 1-2 record.
WEEK 3 WINNERS AND LOSERS:The Texans and 49ers suffered significant setbacks
THE Philadelphia Eagles The 49ers-Buccaneers matchup will be a rematch of last season’s playoffs, with the winner taking a 3-1 record and an early advantage in the race for first place in the conference. The 49ers will also need to avoid a disastrous 1-3 start by taking care of business against the New England Patriots.
What surprises await NFL teams this week? Maybe one of the undefeated teams will fall, or maybe another underdog will pull off an unexpected victory.
