The NFL Week 3 schedule brings plenty of excitement, highlighted by a historic international matchup in Rio de Janeiro and a competitive slate of games across the Sunday and Monday lineups. Teams are looking to establish momentum as the early-season landscape takes shape.
In South America, the Dallas Cowboys face the Baltimore Ravens in Rio de Janeiro. Baltimore enters the contest as a 3.5-point favorite, with the over/under set at 53.5 points. The Ravens are looking to bounce back following a 24-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints, a game where New Orleans erased an early advantage built by Lamar Jackson’s offense.
Meanwhile, Dallas arrives with high offensive confidence. Quarterback Dak Prescott threw four touchdown passes in Week 2, a performance that made him the Cowboys’ career leader in passing scores. Teaming up with Prescott, star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb hauled in two touchdowns for 153 yards during a 37-20 victory over Washington.
Closing out the weekend on Sunday Night Football, the Denver Broncos host the Los Angeles Rams. Denver enters the primetime matchup after rallying to defeat Jacksonville 20-13, a game powered by Bo Nix’s 288 passing yards. The Rams, who are expected to play without wide receiver Puka Nacua due to a hip and groin injury, open as 1.5-point road favorites with a game total set at 44 points.
Fans will also keep a close eye on Monday night as the slate wraps up, alongside monitoring key injury updates and roster adjustments across the league as franchises navigate the grueling 17-game schedule.
