- NFL Week 3 features a 14-game Sunday slate on Sept. 27 headlined by Bengals-Steelers, Cowboys-Ravens in Rio de Janeiro, and Rams-Broncos, with Eagles-Bears closing the week on Monday night.
- Sportsbooks are running aggressive Week 3 promos, including DraftKings' $150 in bonus bets for a $5 wager, FanDuel's $250 in bonus bets, BetMGM's up to $1,500, bet365's $200 in bonus bets for a $10 bet, Caesars' $250 in bet reset tokens, and Fanatics' $350 in FanCash.
- Week 3 odds list the Bengals as 3.5-point road favorites at Pittsburgh (over/under 42.5), the Ravens as 3.5-point favorites over the Cowboys in Rio (total 52.5), the Chiefs as 11.5-point road favorites at Miami (total 45.5), and the Rams as 2.5-point road favorites at Denver (total 46.5).
- Quarterback injuries are reshaping the slate: Jaxson Dart's knee injury reportedly ends his Giants season with Jameis Winston taking over, Jayden Daniels left last week's game (Marcus Mariota went 11-of-16 for 111 yards in relief), and Sam Darnold may return for Seattle.
- The Colts and Texans both enter Week 3 at 0-2, and since 1990 only four teams have made the playoffs after starting 0-3, putting their postseason hopes in steep jeopardy.
- The 49ers are chasing a third straight double-digit win to open a season — something no team has done since the 2021 Broncos — after blowout victories over the Rams and Dolphins.
Why it matters: With the Week 3 slate reshaped by season-altering injuries to multiple franchise quarterbacks, sportsbooks are dangling $150 to $1,500 in sign-up bonuses to lure bettors into a market where power rankings have already been scrambled — bettors get juicier promos but must price in unprecedented uncertainty, while 0-2 teams like the Colts and Texans face a historically narrow path to the postseason.
