<p>Here's a look at the betting odds and media companies that could benefit in the third week of the 2024 NFL season.</p>
<p><strong>Week 3 Betting Odds:</strong> Week 3 features 16 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40886493/nfl-games-dominate-week-1-ratings-start-week-2-with-a-bang-here-these-companies-might-benef">NFL games </a>across Thursday, Sunday and Monday and will see two matchups of 2-0 perfect teams.</p>
<p>Here are the week 3 matchups and the betting odds from sportsbook <strong>DraftKings Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) with the team's records in parentheses.</p>
<ul>
<li>New England Patriots (1-1) at New York Jets (1-1) -6</li>
<li>Denver Broncos (0-2) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0) -6.5</li>
<li>Los Angeles Chargers (2-0) at Pittsburgh Steelers (2-0) -1.5</li>

</ul>
<p>A quick look at the betting odds shows five of the away teams favored, down from the six away teams favored in week two and up from two away teams favored in the first week.</p>
<p>The third week features the 2-0 matchups between the Chargers and Steelers and the Texans vs. the Vikings. BetMGM's <strong>John Ewing</strong> <a href="https://x.com/johnewing/status/1836214185673248852">notes </a>that in the last 10 years, underdogs are 35-20-1 against the spread when undefeated teams play each other.</p>
<p>None of the Week 3 matchups are between 0-2 teams, which means there could still be nine 0-3 teams after the week is over as these teams fight to get a win on their record.</p>
<p>Bettors may focus on 0-2 teams desperate for a win. Ewing noted that 0-2 teams are 52-33-1 against the spread in Week 3 over the past decade.</p>
<p>Thursday night's game kicks off with a big spread of six points<span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">, and sports betting reporter <strong>Ben Fawkes</strong> <a href="https://x.com/BFawkes22/status/1836766403648483476" target="_blank" rel="noopener">notes </a>that it will be the first time the Jets are favored against the Patriots in 25 games. This will end</span> the longest active head-to-head streak of two teams against each other.</p>
<p>Sports betting reporter <strong>Evan Abrams</strong> <a href="https://x.com/EvanHAbrams/status/1835526810903138789">notes </a>that underdogs of 6+ points are 8-0 against the spread through the first two weeks, marking the best start for big underdogs in NFL history.</p>
<p><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">According to Fawkes, at DraftKings, the most bets on teams against the spread are the Chiefs -3.5 (81% of bets), Saints -2.5 (78%), Bengals -7.5 (77%), Raiders -5.5 (77%), and 49ers -7 (76%)</span>.</p>
