The Indianapolis Colts are 3-0 after beating the Miami Dolphins, Denver Broncos, and Tennessee Titans.
Six teams are 3-0 through three weeks.
Five teams are 0-3 through three weeks.
To say it’s been a chaotic start to the 2025-26 NFL season would be an understatement. While it was expected for teams like the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles to be 3-0, it’s been quite a surprise to see the Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Chargers, and even the San Francisco 49ers start with the same mark.
Below, you’ll find the latest win total lines and odds for both the over and the under. Additionally, I’ll make predictions for my best bets.
Let’s dive in.

Below are my top four best bets when betting on NFL win totals following Week 3’s action.
Buffalo Bills Over 13.5 Wins (-130): Through three weeks, the Bills are 3-0 after winning in numerous ways. Whether it was a monstrous passing effort from Josh Allen, a rushing showcase from James Cook, or a gritty division win, the Bills are the best team in all of the NFL. Now, looking ahead at their schedule, there aren’t many teams that “scare” you. Their next opponent, which will be a challenge, is the Kansas City Chiefs; however, the Bills will be at home. By then, the Chiefs should have their litany of weapons back, including Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy. After that, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could present a challenge, as well as the Philadelphia Eagles. Even if the Bills lose all three, they’d be 14-3. Their other opponents include the Saints, Patriots (twice), Falcons, Panthers, Dolphins, Texans, Steelers, Bengals, Browns, and Jets. With Joe Burrow out for a lengthy bit of time, there aren’t many threats to the Bills’ record during the regular season.
Cincinnati Bengals Under 7.5 Wins (-145): Speaking of the Bengals, I’m sadly taking the under. Burrow is out until at least mid-December following toe surgery. In Week 3, the Bengals were dominated 48-10 on the road against the Vikings. While I don’t expect that to happen again, their defense is one of the worst in the league. If their defense continues to allow points and puts Jake Browning in a position to have to throw, it’s not going to end well. Over their next three games, they take on the Broncos, Lions, and Packers. That’s an incredibly difficult stretch.
Cleveland Browns Under 5.5 Wins (+130): The Browns got the Week 3 win at home over the Packers, 13-10. While they got the win, this offense has no juice. Sure, they could make a quarterback switch, but I don’t foresee a scenario in which Dillon Gabriel or Shedeur Sanders takes over and elevates this offense to new heights. They’re averaging just 15.33 points per game. They need to win five more games and have opponents like the Ravens, Bills, Lions, and Vikings on their schedule. They could win some low-scoring games to make this line interesting, but I don’t trust the offense whatsoever after three weeks of evidence.
Dallas Cowboys Under 7.5 Wins (-165): The Cowboys are 1-2 after three games. Their only win came against the New York Giants, 40-37, in overtime. In Week 3, they lost on the road to the Bears, 31-14. This team has also recently been hit by the injury bug. Offensive guard Tyler Booker and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb both have high ankle sprains. Cornerback DaRon Bland has a foot injury, but he should be back in Week 4. Without Lamb in the lineup, I fear for what this offense can do. Additionally, the Cowboys, much like the Bengals, have a terrible defense, especially without Bland in the lineup. The Cowboys are already poised to be a team that’ll need to win shootouts, and without their top receiver and a starting guard, it just got that much more difficult.

Outside of the Buccaneers, Eagles, and Chiefs, I’m not entirely sure who could beat the Bills right now, given what we’ve seen from all 32 NFL teams through three weeks. That said, they could very easily beat these three teams.
The Chiefs will have their top receivers back, which will make things interesting, though. Right now, the Eagles have a great defense, but their passing attack is limited. As for the Buccaneers, this team plays way too many close games. They’re 3-0, but they’ve won by three, one, and two points over the Falcons, Texans, and Jets, respectively.
Quarterback Josh Allen has been terrific, and the running game is clicking. I’d like to see more out of the defense concerning getting pressure on the opposing quarterback, though.
They’ll have some excellent chances against the Saints and Patriots over their next two games.
There are a couple of ways in which you can bet on NFL win totals.
The first are the markets seen above—the over/under amount on a specific set line. Alternatively, some sportsbooks will allow multiple options for over/under lines. For example, the Patriots may have a set line of 8.5, but there would be an option to bet on “Over 10.5” for even better odds value-wise if you believe in them to that extent.
To add, you can, of course, wager on each NFL game to complement your futures bets.
Here’s how to read NFL odds. For this exercise, I’ll examine it through the lens of winning $100 or wagering $100.
With “+” odds, you’ll win the amount displayed as the odds with a successful $100 bet. For example, the Patriots are +115. You’d win $115 with a winning $100 bet.
With ‘-” odds, you must wager the amount associated with the odds to win $100. So, if the Patriots were -115, you’d need to wager $115 to win $100.
