Here are the Week 3 Spread Picks Courtesy Of Fanduel
Giants vs 49ers (-10 49ers)
The San Francisco 49ers are on a roll and have covered the spread in their first 2 games of the season. Against the Giants with Barkey out, this looks to be their 3rd straight week of covering.
Titans vs Browns (-3 Browns)
The Browns will be without their top offensive player but will have the newly-signed Kareem Hunt. The Titans are still searching for an identity heading into Cleveland. The Browns will make the cover here.
Chargers vs Vikings (+1 Chargers)
The Vikings are favored here at home against the Chargers. Both offenses can score at will and this will be a high-scoring game with the Chargers stopping the Vikings from covering the spread.
Patriots vs Jets (-2.5 Patriots)
These are not the New York Jets many expected to see. Zach Wilson struggled last week and against this tough Patriots defense, his woes will continue. The Pats will cover the spread against their AFC East rival.
Bills vs Commanders (-6.5 Bills)
The Buffalo Bills returned to form against the Raiders while covering the spread in Week 2. The Commanders are undefeated, at home, but it won’t be enough as Bills cover here.
Texans vs Jaguars (-8.5 Jaguars)
The Houston Texans are young and hungry while the Jacksonville Jaguars are looking to make a name in the NFL. At home, the Jags will cover the spread against the young team.
Will Your Team Cover The Spread On Fanduel
Colts vs Ravens (-7.5 Ravens)
Will Anthony Richardson play this week is the question? Even if he does, the Baltimore Ravens are too experienced at the skilled positions to not cover the spread here at home.

Time for Jordan Love to make his move. the saints are grinding out wins but things will be different at Lambeau. Love and the Packers will find a way to cover the spread in Week 3.

Bears vs Chiefs (-12.5 Chiefs)
The Chicago Bears are going through big turmoil this early in the season. The Kansas City Chiefs showed everyone last week what they are capable of. At home, the Chiefs will cover easily.
Cowboys vs Cardinals (-12.5 Cowboys)
