NFL Week 3 best bets: Five top picks for against the spread pools and contests play it safe with the Chargers
While the Bills look like a good value on the spread, we're avoiding piling on a struggling Chargers team in our best bets


After a successful Thursday Night Football matchup backing the Falcons and Drake London Overs, as well as a few live-bet hits in the SportsLine Discord, our attention turns to the weekend slate. I've shared a lot of picks on the site for Week 3, but here's where we drill down on my top five plays for Circa Million and similar ATS contests.
In Week 3, the value tends to revolve around still backing underdogs or lines that have moved significantly from the preseason, and we need to make sure not to throw a team that does the opposite into our top picks. That's why even though it feels like the Bills are going to cover the -7 at home against a flailing Chargers team, I can't make it a part of my best bets when submitting a card in large-entry contests. Plenty of people will be on the Bills, and we just have to hope we're not caught in the vise if the Chargers begin to regress to expectations this week.
