Week 3 of the NFL season is upon us. If your team is 0-2, don't fret; at least you can hopefully still make money off it. Since 2017, teams with 0-2 records are 12-4 against the spread (ATS), including 11-2 ATS as underdogs in Week 3.
This week, two quarterbacks are set to make their NFL starting debuts on the road in Daniel Jones and Luke Falk. Since 2014, quarterbacks making their first career starts on the road are 13-6-1 ATS, including Gardner Minshew last week covering for Jacksonville against Houston.
Other Week 3 trends to watch point to New Orleans covering against Seattle, Minnesota covering against Oakland and the under hitting on Monday Night Football.
