Self-learning AI relays NFL against the spread, over-under, money-line picks for every 2024 Week 3 game

SportsLine AI reveals its NFL predictions and NFL betting picks for all 16 NFL games in Week 3

· CBS Sports

Something has to give in Cowboys vs. Ravens, with both teams coming off shocking results last Sunday. The latest Week 3 NFL odds have Baltimore as a 1-point favorite, and the Ravens are 8-1 against the spread in their last nine road games after a loss. However, there is a stat that would make Dallas just as convincing to back with Week 3 NFL bets. The Cowboys are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a defeat, covering the spread by an average of 11.1 points. This game not only has one of the slimmest Week 3 NFL spreads, but it's the smallest spread of the 2024 NFL season.

Many pegged this as a potential Super Bowl preview, but the loser would face an uphill battle just to make the NFL playoff picture. Both teams will be highly motivated after last week's results, so you'll have to consider other factors when making your Week 3 NFL predictions for this matchup. Before you make any Week 3 NFL picks, you need to see the NFL against the spread, over-under, and money line predictions powered by SportsLine AI.

Built using cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques by SportsLine's Data Science team, AI Predictions and AI Ratings are generated for each game. The AI predictions are determined by statistically learning from each team's historical data and then quantitatively evaluating the strength of the opponent's defense by assigning a numeric value out of 100 called a matchup score. 

Once a prediction is formulated, the AI rating is generated using the prediction, the matchup score, and the odds of the market. For example, you could see an A-rating on an over bet if a team is facing a poor defense, their prediction differs from the line and there are favorable odds.

In addition, SportsLine AI is the first fully automated predictive model at SportsLine. It continuously refreshes on the most recent available data and can help you spot the biggest discrepancies in the lines. Last season, SportsLine's AI PickBot hit a whopping 1,674 4.5- and 5-star prop picks. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

For Week 3, the AI PickBot has evaluated the NFL odds and provided NFL betting predictions for all 16 games. You can only see the AI predictions for the Week 3 NFL schedule here.

Top Week 3 NFL AI picks

After analyzing every game in Week 3, the AI PickBot says the Rams cover as 6.5-point home underdogs against the 49ers. L.A. is down WRs Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, but the 49ers are without Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel. Unlike the Rams' injured duo, the Niners' injured pair contribute on both the ground and through the air. Over the last three seasons, San Fran averages 6.7 yards per play with both McCaffrey and Samuel on the field, compared to just 4.3 yards per play with both off the field. For reference, 6.7 yards per play would have led the NFL last season, while 4.3 yards per play would have ranked second-worst.

The Rams drew the short end of the stick by opening the season with back-to-back road games, but they have won four straight at home. Since 2020, L.A. boasts a 5-2 ATS record as a home underdog, and it is also 5-2 ATS in divisional games since the start of last season. Additionally, the Rams' depleted passing game should be able to find holes in San Fran's defense as the Niners rank 30th in yards per pass attempt allowed and 31st in third-down defense. The AI PickBot is backing the Rams (-3.5) to cover as it predicts a final score of 49ers 20.09, Rams 18.81.See its other Week 3 football predictions and football picks at SportsLine.
