NFL Week 3 Betting Online
Week three begins with a strong Prime Video matchup from the AFC East. The Miami Dolphins will visit the Buffalo Bills in a matchup that will help factor who wins the AFC East. Miami is coming off an 8-9 season and was out of the money for the AFC playoffs. Of course, the main problem is a soft team led by head coach Mike McDaniel, who cries with players when they are injured on the field. While that might make him a decent human being, he has not shown quality leadership as a head coach. Equally problematic is the continued injury problems of QB Tua Tagovailoa. McDaniel would have been fired by almost any organization after last year’s flop, but somehow survived. The matchup at Buffalo will be a brutal test agaisnt a Bills team that is thinking Super Bowl.

2025 NFL Week 3 Schedule
In the early afternoon window on Sunday, an interesting interconference matchup is the Cincinnati Bengals at the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota had an interesting season in 2024, going 14-3 while trying to trade QB Sam Darnold, who is now with the Seattle Seahawks. This year, JJ McCarthy, who was drafted in the first round by Minnesota in 2024, takes over as the starting QB. McCarthy is best known for leading the Michigan Wolverines to the 2023 national championship.
Cincinnati rallied after a poor start due to QB Joe Burrow's injury to nearly make the playoffs once Burrow returned. Still, the Bengals have not been at the same level as when they won the 2021 AFC title before losing a close one in the Super Bowl to the Los Angeles Rams.
Also in the early window is a renewal of an old rivalry that once played for the highest of stakes. The New England Patriots will host the Pittsburgh Steelers. New England is now led by head coach Mike Vrabel, who made his bones with the Tennessee Titans. Vrabel’s Titans were a regular playoff team and beat the Patriots in the 2019 wild card round in what ended up being Tom Brady’s final game with New England.
The Steelers' quarterback situation is unsettled, with Mason Rudolph currently number one on the depth chart. But Pittsburgh fans were still hoping that Aaron Rodgers would come to the Steel City, even if it were for one year. Pittsburgh fans are tired of head coach Mike Tomlin and want results in 2025. Still, the Steelers have never had a losing season under Tomlin and made the playoffs last year.
In the late window on Sunday, the Denver Broncos will visit the Los Angeles Chargers in a matchup of 2024 playoff teams who are also aspiring to knock off the Kansas City Chiefs’ dynasty and take over the AFC West.
Speaking of the Chiefs, they will visit the New York Giants on NBC's Sunday Night Football. Kansas City is a team to keep a close eye on after their Super Bowl flop against the Philadelphia Eagles. Somehow, Brian Daboll returned as head coach of the Giants after his second consecutive failed season that followed a surprise playoff run in 2022. Daniel Jones was run out of town and will be replaced by Russell Wilson with Jameis Winston as his backup. It is a do-or-die season for Daboll and Big Blue. Popular Kansas City will get a price break on the road.
