New England Patriots favored over unbeaten Las Vegas Raiders in Week 3

The New England Patriots are betting favorites as they host the undefeated Las Vegas Raiders Sunday in Week 3 at Gillette Stadium.

The Las Vegas Raiders (2-0) head east to play the New England Patriots (1-1) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. Below, we take a look at the early Week 3 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Raiders opened their season with a thrilling 34-30 win at the Carolina Panthers, so they have already traveled to the Eastern Time Zone and had success. They’re coming off a 34-24 Monday night victory against the New Orleans Saints, winning their first-ever game at Allegiant Stadium, their new home.

The Patriots came up just short in Week 2, falling 35-30 on the road at the Seattle Seahawks, as QB Cam Newton was stuffed on a rushing attempt near the end zone as time expired. Newton still has four rushing scores through the first two games, and the offense is averaging 25.5 points per game.

Seattle Seahawks moderate home faves vs. Dallas Cowboys in Week 3

The Seattle Seahawks are betting favorites as they host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3 at CenturyLink Field.

The Seattle Seahawks (2-0) will play host to the Dallas Cowboys (1-1) at CenturyLink Field, Sunday, at 4:25 p.m. ET. The Seahawks are yet to taste defeat this season, while the Cowboys are coming off an improbable win last week to square their record. Below, we take a look at the early Week 3 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Seahawks held off the New England Patriots in Week 2, winning 30-25 on Sunday Night Football in an oddly quiet CenturyLink Field. Normally, Seattle is known as one of the loudest venues, but of course, due to COVID, fans are not allowed to attend. The Seahawks didn’t need “The 12,” as they bowed their backs on defense for a last-second goal-line stand to hang on for the win and cover.

The Cowboys faced a 15-point deficit before scoring with 4:57 to go, slicing the lead to 39-30. Just inside the two-minute warning, the Cowboys scored on a QB Dak Prescott 1-yard plunge to make it a two-point game. Then, the Cowboys pulled off a perfect onside kick, getting it back to set K Greg Zuerlein up for the game-winning, 46-yard field goal.
