NFL Preseason Week 3 Point Spread Predictions

The final NFL games of the preseason are here, and things will start to get more serious after this weekend. The third week of the preseason is usually when you start to see more regulars on the field, and that could be the case in some of these games.

NFL Betting Sites

There are a number of ways that you can place bets on NFL Preseason games, including betting against the spread. Here are five of the best NFL Preseason week 3 point spread picks to make.

San Francisco 49ers at Houston Texans

49ers vs. Texans Picks

Best Bet: 49ers -3

A pair of 2-0 teams meet up on Thursday night when the Houston Texans host the San Francisco 49ers. Houston has been playing well so far in the preseason, but they are still going to struggle when the regular season starts.

San Francisco is a team that could win the Super Bowl in 2022, and they have taken the preseason slate pretty seriously up to this point. This should be another convincing win for San Francisco as they cover the spread of three points in Houston.

NFL Point Spread Odds

New England Patriots at Las Vegas Raiders

Patriots vs. Raiders Picks

Best Bet: Raiders -1

The 1-1 New England Patriots visit Las Vegas to take on the 3-0 Raiders in this one. Las Vegas was able to get started a week early by playing in the Hall of Fame Game, and they haven’t looked back.

Bill Belichick has been known to overlook preseason games in the past as he knows they are meaningless in most respects. New England will play well on Friday night, but the Raiders win this game to finish the preseason at 4-0.

Chicago Bears at Cleveland Browns

Bears vs. Browns Picks

Best Bet: Bears +4.5

The 2-0 Chicago Bears travel to Cleveland to take on the 1-1 Cleveland Browns on Saturday. Chicago has been terrific on both sides of the football up to this point, while Cleveland has gotten mixed results.

This should be a low-scoring game, and that will come into play when looking at the betting spread. The Bears might not win on Saturday in Cleveland, but they are at least going to keep this game close.

Take the Chicago Bears +4.5 as they cover the spread in Cleveland.

NFL Point Spread Picks

Washington Commanders at Baltimore Ravens

Commanders vs. Ravens Picks

Best Bet: Ravens -6

While most teams in the NFL tend to shrug off the preseason, that isn’t the case in Baltimore. The Ravens have now won 22 straight preseason games, and a majority of those wins have been in dominant fashion.

Washington will be in Baltimore in Week 3, and it has been a rough preseason for the Commanders. Things can always change from week to week, but the Ravens clearly look like the better team.

Take the Baltimore Ravens at -6.0 as they roll to a big win.

Minnesota Vikings at Denver Broncos

Vikings vs. Broncos Picks

Best Bet: Vikings PK

The Minnesota Vikings enter the 2022 season with plenty of optimism that they can turn things back around. Minnesota was a complete mess in 2021, but they have been competitive so far in the preseason.

Denver is 1-1 through the first two games, but they were blown out a week ago in Buffalo. The Broncos should be a playoff contender when the year starts, but they are a team without much depth.

Take the Vikings to win this game in Denver to pick up their first win.
