Ravens Walk Off Cowboys in the NFL's First Game in Rio
Baltimore's Tyler Loop drilled a 56-yard field goal as time expired to complete a 34-31 win over Dallas in the league's first-ever regular season game in Brazil, after Lamar Jackson set up the attempt with a 27-yard completion to Zay Flowers and an immediate timeout. It's a redemption story of sorts for Loop, who had to live with a missed kick last season that contributed to Baltimore missing the playoffs. You can compare how the outright market reacted to the result on sportsbet.io's upcoming fixtures page ahead of Week 4.
Another Week, Another Round of Underdog Upsets
Week 2's trend of favourites losing outright carried straight into Week 3. Washington, priced as home underdogs against Seattle, won 33-31 in a shootout. Cleveland beat a Carolina side that had opened as favourites, 21-18. And Indianapolis edged out Houston 19-17 on the road as underdogs. Combined with three straight weeks of market-defying results, backing the favourite by reputation alone is looking like an increasingly shaky strategy through the opening month of the season.
Chiefs and Jaguars Cover Comfortably
Not every favourite had a rough week. Kansas City's 24-10 win over Miami covered with room to spare and had plenty of pundits declaring the Chiefs "back" after a slow start to the year, while Jacksonville's 35-6 demolition of New England was as one-sided as any result on the board. San Francisco also stayed unbeaten with a 36-30 win over Arizona, though the Cardinals kept it closer than the 49ers' status as big favourites suggested they would. Sportsbet.io's sports betting hub breaks down how moneyline and spread markets are typically priced if you want to see why results like Jacksonville's cover so heavily.
Unbeaten Clubs: Raiders, Vikings, and 49ers All Move to 3-0
Las Vegas beat New Orleans on the road to move to 3-0 for the first time since 2021, while Minnesota's 23-16 win over Tampa Bay and San Francisco's win over Arizona kept both of those sides unbeaten too. It's a reminder that early-season form, however it was built, is worth tracking closely heading into Week 4 rather than dismissed as a small sample. Check the in-play hub as Week 4 matchups are finalised to see how these unbeaten runs are priced.
Grind-It-Out Wins: Giants and Steelers Show Two Different Faces
Not every result was about big offensive numbers. New York's 12-7 win over Tennessee was the lowest-scoring game of the week, decided almost entirely by field position and defence rather than any explosive plays. Pittsburgh's 30-27 win over Cincinnati went the other way entirely, with both offences trading scores deep into the fourth quarter before the Steelers found enough in the final minutes to hold on. Between the two results, it's a useful reminder that a total posted early in the week can miss badly in either direction once the game script actually unfolds.
What's Next: Monday Night Closes the Week
The Eagles and Bears wrap up Week 3 on Monday Night Football, with Philadelphia looking to build on a strong start and Chicago dealing with question marks at quarterback after Caleb Williams' Week 2 injury. Check sportsbet.io's upcoming fixtures page for the final score once the game wraps up and for the full Week 4 schedule as it's released.
Betting Responsibly Through the NFL Season
A third straight week of underdog upsets can tempt bigger stakes chasing similar value going forward. Treat every result above as one data point among many, not a signal to overhaul your whole approach, and set your budget for each week's card before Thursday's kickoff rather than adjusting it as Sunday's results come in.
Account tools such as deposit limits, loss limits, and time-outs help keep a full week of NFL action within the budget you set for it — sportsbet.io's responsible gambling page lists how to set these up. Betting should stay entertainment across a 17-game season, not a way to chase back a loss from an earlier week.
