NFL Week 3 Props & Stacking Opportunities – Main Slate
This week, we’ll focus on three key matchups: Chicago Bears @ Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles @ New Orleans Saints, and Denver Broncos @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Game 1: Chicago Bears @ Indianapolis Colts
The Colts are hosting the Bears at Lucas Oil Stadium, with the Colts eager to secure their first win of the season.
Indianapolis is off to a 0-2 start, making this a crucial game to keep their playoff hopes alive. Their defense has struggled, especially against the run, ranking last in the league. The Bears are also seeking redemption after a tough loss to the Texans.
Prop Trends and Stacking Opportunities
Jonathan Taylor Anytime TD Over 0.5 (-155)
Taylor has scored a touchdown in each of his last four home games. Considering the Bears’ weak run defense, stacking Taylor’s anytime touchdown with the Colts’ team performance could yield strong returns.
Anthony Richardson Over 186.5 Passing Yards (-114)
Richardson has exceeded this passing yardage in his last two games. Stacking him with wide receiver Alec Pierce, who has also hit over 0.5 anytime touchdowns (+360) in his last two games, creates a promising QB-WR combo against a vulnerable Bears secondary.
Anthony Richardson Under 17.5 Pass Completions (-130)
While Richardson is expected to rack up yardage, he’s hit the under on pass completions in his last five games. This suggests he’s making bigger plays downfield, which aligns well with stacking him with deep-threat receivers like Pierce.
Game 2: Philadelphia Eagles @ New Orleans Saints
The undefeated Saints (2-0) host the Eagles (1-1) at the Caesars Superdome.
New Orleans is coming off a dominant win against the Cowboys, showcasing their offensive firepower and stout defense. The Eagles are looking to bounce back after a narrow loss to the Falcons.
Prop Trends and Stacking Opportunities
Derek Carr Over 1.5 Passing TDs (+108)
Carr has hit over 1.5 passing touchdowns in his last seven games. Stacking Carr with wide receiver Rashid Shaheed is a strategic move, as Shaheed has exceeded 50.5 receiving yards and scored in his last three games.
Alvin Kamara Anytime TD Over 0.5 (-180)
Kamara has found the end zone in his last two games. Combining Kamara’s anytime touchdown with the Saints’ team total over 25.5 points (-120), which they’ve hit in their last three games, enhances the potential payout on your Week 3 NFL props.
Jalen Hurts Over 0.5 Interceptions (-115)
Hurts has thrown interceptions in his last two games. Pairing this prop with the Saints’ defensive performance, possibly even a defensive touchdown, could be a savvy addition to your Week 3 NFL picks.
Game 3: Denver Broncos @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Buccaneers return home with a 2-0 record, aiming for their first 3-0 start since 2005, to face the struggling Broncos.
Tampa Bay’s offense, led by Baker Mayfield, is clicking, while Denver’s defense has kept games close despite their offensive woes.
Prop Trends and Stacking Opportunities
Baker Mayfield Over 1.5 Passing TDs (-130) and Over 240.5 Passing Yards (-115)
Mayfield has hit these props in his last four home games. Stacking him with wide receiver Chris Godwin, who has scored touchdowns in his last two games and exceeded 60.5 receiving yards, creates a potent QB-WR combination.
