There being two Monday Night Football games this week, which means there are tailor-made Week 3 NFL parlay picks. The Jaguars will visit the Bills at 7:30 p.m. ET, followed by the Bengals hosting the Commanders at 8:15 p.m. ET. With the combination of Week 3 NFL picks against the spread, NFL money line picks, and NFL over-under picks, there are many different routes you can take to find a winning combination.
The two home teams are favored with Buffalo laying five points in the Week 3 NFL odds, while Cincinnati is a 7.5-point favorite. All four teams competing on MNF are 1-1 against the spread this season, so that won’t help you in making NFL parlay bets. Which NFL betting trends and tendencies will give teams clear advantages for your NFL predictions? Before you make any Week 3 NFL picks or NFL parlays, be sure to see the NFL predictions and betting advice from SportsLine’s proven computer model.

Top Week 3 NFL picks
After simulating every game 10,000 times, the model is high on the Seattle Seahawks (-4.5) cover at home against the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are reeling, both in terms of the spread and with their personnel. They’ve lost five straight games against the spread dating back to last year’s regular season and playoffs. Four of those contests were straight-up defeats as well, with each coming by at least a touchdown. However, the biggest loss for Miami comes with the latest injury to QB Tua Tagovailoa.
Miami is 1-5 outright since 2022 in games in which Tagaovailoa plays under 50% of snaps. Backup Skylar Thompson has three career starts, but he failed to throw a TD in two of them and was picked off twice in the other. Seattle will be able to load the box without a threatening QB, and that spells trouble for Miami which ranks 24th in yards per rush after being first last year. Additionally, Seattle already boasts the No. 2 scoring defense, so Miami may have struggled through the air even if Tagovailoa was under center. Add all of this up, and SportsLine’s model has the Seahawks covering in nearly 60% of simulations. See which other NFL parlay picks to make here.
