The experts weighed in on a slate featuring notable games such as the Ravens versus the Cowboys and the Eagles against the Bears.

Early in the week, the experts' consensus saw the Falcons upsetting the Packers on Thursday night, with three analysts correctly predicting Atlanta's victory as 4.5-point underdogs. As the week progresses, several games have drawn opposing viewpoints from the panel.

The roundtable features predictions for the Raiders-Saints, Eagles-Bears, and Ravens-Cowboys contests, among others. All betting lines are provided courtesy of BetMGM Sportsbook. Lamar Jackson's performance is a focal point for some experts in the Ravens-Cowboys matchup.

Other games with notable expert disagreement include the Raiders-Saints matchup, where opinions are also varied on the best bet. The panel's records are tracked, with some experts maintaining strong winning streaks early in the season.

The experts' selections cover the full slate of Week 3 games, with specific predictions for each contest, including point spreads and over/under totals. The panel includes contributors like Brian Costello, Steve Serby, Mark Cannizzaro, Paul Schwartz, Drew Loftis, Ryan Dunleavy, Stitches, Ms. Charleen, Howie Kussoy, and Dave Blezow.
