Week 3 NFL player props, QB, WR, RB, TE betting picks, AI prop predictions: Nico Collins over 75.5 yards

Multiple superstars will not be on the field during the Week 3 NFL schedule, and Sunday’s game between the Rams and 49ers is a prime example.

Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson is the top option for quarterback Matthew Stafford, with an over/under of 44.5 receiving yards in the Week 3 NFL prop bets.

The 49ers still have weapons like Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings, giving quarterback Brock Purdy a path to going Over 231.5 passing yards and come through for anyone backing his NFL prop odds.

Built using cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques by SportsLine’s Data Science team, AI Predictions and AI Ratings are generated for each game. The AI predictions are determined by statistically learning from each team’s historical data then quantitatively evaluating the strength of the opponent’s defense by assigning a numeric value out of 100 called a matchup score.

Once a prediction is formulated, the AI rating is generated using the prediction, the matchup score, and the odds of the market. For example, you could see a 5-star rating on an over bet if a team is facing a poor defense, their prediction differs from the line and there are favorable odds.

In addition, SportsLine AI is the first fully automated predictive model at SportsLine. It continuously refreshes on the most recent available data and can help you spot the biggest discrepancies in the lines. Last season, SportsLine’s AI PickBot hit a whopping 1,674 4.5- and 5-star prop picks. Anyone who has followed those NFL picks is way up.
