NFL Predictions and Picks for Preseason Week 3

Washington Commanders at Baltimore Ravens (6 p.m. ET)

Ravens -3.5 (-102)

A straightforward home favorite to kick off the night's slate, with no specific reason to fight the number this deep into the preseason.

Atlanta Falcons at Miami Dolphins (7 p.m. ET)

Dolphins +3.5 (-104)

Jeff Hafley's rebuild is now a full month into camp, and a young roster playing with real continuity together tends to close the gap late in the preseason. Getting 3.5 points is a comfortable enough cushion to like Miami's chances of staying within range.

Houston Texans at Carolina Panthers (7 p.m. ET)

Texans-Panthers Under 35.5 (-104)

A genuinely tight spread paired with a modest total is the kind of number this late in the preseason worth backing — neither side figures to pull away, and roster-bubble players tend to play it safe.

New York Giants at New York Jets (7:30 p.m. ET)

Giants -3 (-115)

A modest road favorite in the Snoopy Bowl, with nothing specific to argue against the number this late in camp.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Jacksonville Jaguars (7:30 p.m. ET)

Bucs-Jaguars Under 34.5 (-110)

The lowest total on tonight's board, which lines up with what to expect from two rosters now well into their final evaluation stretch.

New Orleans Saints at Dallas Cowboys (8 p.m. ET)

Cowboys -2.5 (-110)

Arizona's quarterback room impressed against Dallas earlier in the preseason, but with New Orleans in town this time, the modest home number here still looks fair without a specific reason to fade it.

Arizona Cardinals at Green Bay Packers (8 p.m. ET)

Cardinals-Packers Under 36.5 (-110)

A near pick'em spread paired with a modest total lines up with a competitive, lower-event finale between two teams that don't figure to lean on their headline names tonight.

Seattle Seahawks at Kansas City Chiefs (8 p.m. ET)

Seahawks -1.5 (+100)

Plus-money on the favorite is a genuinely appealing number, and with both teams' true stars long since finished evaluating for the year, this comes down to roster depth on the margins.

Cincinnati Bengals at Philadelphia Eagles (8 p.m. ET)

Bengals-Eagles Under 36.5 (-115)

Philadelphia has rested its true starters for most of the preseason, and Cincinnati has leaned deep into its own roster in recent weeks too — a combination that tends to keep the scoreboard modest.

Minnesota Vikings at Denver Broncos (9 p.m. ET)

Broncos -3.5 (-110)

Minnesota's own quarterback plan has been settled and productive throughout camp, but the closing game of the night still favors a modest home number without a specific reason to fade it.
