NFL Week 3 Lookahead Lines And 2024 Market Moves

In seasons past, I’ve provided content and insight on NFL betting including NFL lookahead lines and market moves. Now the 2024 NFL Week 3 lookahead lines with matchups, schedules and odds are out to guide us to the bookmakers information ahead of the current week’s games. The odds and information can help you in identifying potential value in the betting market while not overreacting to recent results or any NFL teams good or bad performance in a particular week. That is fairly common in the betting marketplace, as many bettors often fall victim to ‘recency bias’, and recall and react to what they saw most recently.

Our NFL Week 1 underdog picks produced a 3-0 Sunday sweep to kickoff the 2024 season with winners on the Jacksonville Jaguars, Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys outright before the NY Jets lost Monday night.  We also bet two favorites who won and covered on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Chargers in their 22-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, so understand I bet other games than the 7-year excercise providing and posting my NFL underdog picks, which are available earlier at Off Shore Gaming Association with a 57% ATS success rate over 7 years. That includes a record 70% season going 28-12 ATS in 2021.

The biggest surprise on the Week 3 lookahead lines is Houston (-3.5) at Minnesota. This line should drop with support on the Vikings, and obviously if the Texans lose to the Bears Week 2 Sunday Night or the Vikings beat the 49ers at home, which are both underdog picks.
