Self-learning AI releases NFL against the spread, over-under, money-line picks for every 2024 Week 3 game
The Texans have taken a two-game lead in the AFC South standings after wins against the Colts and Bears, while the rest of the division is winless. On Sunday, they will look to continue that dominance by visiting the Vikings (+2.5). The Vikings are coming off a shocking win over the 49ers last week as home underdogs and Sam Darnold’s team is also undefeated entering Week 3. This will be a showdown to consider for anyone making NFL score predictions and NFL picks this week.
The other battle between undefeated teams on the Week 3 NFL schedule is the Steelers (+0.5) vs. the Chargers, with both teams performing even better than early expectations. Which teams should you back in those contests and how can you dial in your Week 3 NFL predictions? Before making any picks for Week 3 NFL, you need to look at the NFL against the spread, over-under and money line predictions powered by SportsLine AI.
Built by SportsLine’s data science team using cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques, AI predictions and AI ratings are generated for each game. AI predictions are determined by statistically learning from each team’s historical data and then quantitatively evaluating the strength of the opponent’s defense by assigning a numerical value out of 100, called a matchup score.
Once the forecast is created, an AI rating is generated using the forecast, matchup score, and market odds. For example, if a team is facing a poor defense, you might see an A-rating on the Over bet, their prediction is different from the line and has favorable odds.
In addition, SportsLine AI is the first fully automated predictive model at SportsLine. It constantly refreshes the most recent data available and can help you identify the biggest discrepancies in lines. Last season, SportsLine’s AI PickBot landed 1,674 4.5- and 5-star prop picks. Anyone who has followed it is way ahead.
For Week 3, the AI PickBot has evaluated the NFL odds and provided NFL betting predictions for all 16 games. You can see the AI predictions for just the Week 3 NFL schedule here.
Top NFL AI Picks of Week 3
After analyzing every game in Week 3, the AI PickBot says the Rams cover as 7.5-point home underdogs against the 49ers. The Rams lost their opener in overtime against the Lions and suffered a 41-10 loss to the Cardinals in Arizona. To make matters worse, they will be without Puka Nacua (shoulder), Cooper Kupp (ankle) and several offensive linemen on Sunday.
However, they will be playing their first home game and have had success in the underdog spot against the 49ers recently. Los Angeles won straight up as a 5.5-point road underdog in San Francisco late last season and also covered as a 7.5-point home underdog early in the season. The 49ers are also injury-prone and will be without Christian McCaffrey (calf) and Deebo Samuel (calf) on Sunday, which is a big reason why the AI PickBot has the Rams covered as an A-rated pick.
