NFL Week 3 Betting Recap: Texans Flailing, Bills a Massive Favorite, Week 4 Looms
Six teams remain undefeated and six winless as Week 3 closes, with late-game twists and rising rookies shaping early betting trends ahead of Week 4.
NFL Week 3 is in the books as teams begin to sort themselves into contenders and those facing early-season pressure. With six undefeated teams and six winless squads, the league is starting to define its early pecking order ahead of Week 4. The Houston Texans have been the season’s most disappointing club, dropping to 0-3 after one-score losses to the Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Jacksonville Jaguars. Their postseason odds have tumbled from -150 to +300 at FanDuel, underscoring how quickly expectations can shift when results don’t follow the script.
In Philadelphia, a wild finish highlighted the weekend’s drama. The Rams appeared set to escape with a win after building a 26-7 lead and covering as 3.5-point underdogs, but the Eagles rallied and took a 27-26 lead. With three seconds left, Rams kicker Joshua Karty aimed for a game-winning 44-yard try, only to have Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis leap the line and block the kick, sprinting it back to the end zone for a 33-26 final. The improbable ending created what many bettors called the worst beat of the year for Rams backers and added another chapter to Week 3’s late-game volatility. ![Jordan Davis blocks a field goal and returns it for a touchdown](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/Jordan-Davis.jpg?w=1024
