The first two weeks of NFL action have been surprising, entertaining, frustrating, and intriguing. Week 3 should present more of the same as there are 16 games slated for Sunday and Monday. Visit Sportsbook.com for all your NFL Week 3 Predictions and game lines as well as NFL team and player props.
What a difference a week makes. The Raiders are no longer the worst team in football, the Colts don't stink, the Patriots are not totally lost without Tom Brady , and the Vikings cannot throw the football. Okay, scratch that last one, not everything changed in week two. The season is still young enough for some shocking alterations to take place though, but the picture at least has a frame on it heading into week three. Some big games this Sunday and Monday may actually put some paint on the canvas.
Here are the top five NFL Week 3 games at Sportsbook.com:
New Orleans Saints at Denver Broncos (-5.5): New Orleans looked like they had things in hand Sunday at Washington, but they let things slip away at the end and suffered a 29-24 loss. They need to get a tough win in Denver to avoid the same path they navigated last season. Denver has been almost unstoppable on offense this season and they will give the Saints revamped defense their biggest test this season.
Pittsburgh Steelers at PhiladelphiaEagles (-3): Both of these teams have been extraordinary this season and this showdown for Pennsylvania bragging rights should be highly entertaining. Although Donovan McNabb and the Eagles lost to Dallas 37-41, they have nothing to hang their heads about. They were a botched hand off away from icing the 'Boys in Big D. On Sunday night it appeared that the only that kept the Steelers from putting a Cowboy like whipping on the Browns was a hurricane like wind.
Jacksonville @ Indianapolis (-5.5): Neither of these clubs has been overly impressive this season, but this is a critical division tilt that may determine the Jaguars season. After being a sexy off-season Super Bowl pick, Jacksonville has fallen to 0-2. They have big problems right now along the offensive line and a loss to the Colts could be a death blow to what it is more than likely some shaky team morale.
Dallas at Green Bay (+3): The Cowboys pulled off a big win against the Eagles Monday night and their offense has been in mid-season form in the season's first two weeks. Sunday night will, however, provide their stiffest test to date as they will be working against a tough Packers defense on the road. Green Bay has already ridded itself of a Favre hang over (if they ever had one); their offense, under the direction of Aaron Rodgers, has moved the ball rather easily thus far.
New York Jets at San Diego Chargers (-9): Brett Favre will make his Monday night debut at a Jet and he will be doing so as a big road dog against the Chargers. Last week Favre was unable to rally the Jets against the Patriots, and it appears, even without Brady, that New York is still staring at New England's backside. San Diego is sitting at 0-2 while they are an eyelash away from being 2-0. They need to recover from two heartbreaking losses, but it is tough to say if the Jets are getting them at a good or bad time.
