In the first two weeks of the 2024 NFL season, the biggest favorite has lost. The Cincinnati Bengals lost as 7.5-point home favorites against the Patriots in Week 1, while the Baltimore Ravens lost as 8.5-point favorites against the Las Vegas Raiders last week. For anyone making NFL office pool picks, avoiding those big upsets will be a primary objective moving forward, but fading heavy favorites is a risk of its own, particularly in NFL confidence pool picks.
The Week 3 NFL schedule is full of matchups between playoff contenders and divisional rivalry matchups like 49ers vs. Rams. So which teams should you be backing as you make your Week 3 NFL pick’em predictions and who should you fade at this stage of the season? Before you make your NFL predictions, you need to see the Week 3 NFL football pool picks from SportsLine’s proven computer model.
