Spread picks for Sunday are split between the early and late afternoon windows, which maximizes opportunities for action. Let’s dive into the NFL Week 3 picks for four teams that historically fit a neat PRO System.
Best NFL Week 3 Picks Against the Spread
Week 3 is an important point in the NFL betting cycle, where early-season trends begin to solidify.
This scenario perfectly aligns with our “Week 3 Dogs” PRO System, which indicates that underdogs 0-2 against the spread cover in Week 3 about 61% of the time since tracking started.

It’s a play on the Giants (0-2 SU and ATS) and perhaps a sell spot on the Browns, fresh off an upset win.

The Panthers were the worst bet against the spread in the NFL last season. They’re right back to their old ways through two games, posting a -60 point differential.
Bryce Young is getting benched for Andy Dalton. PRO Systems, meanwhile, highlight the ugly road ‘dogs as potentially undervalued in Week 3 vs. a Raiders squad riding high.

Lastly, teams like the Rams (0-2 ATS) usually fit the bill as a smart pick for Week 3.
