Week 3 NFL tips, predictions, best bets from Vegas experts: This 3-team football parlay pays more than 6-1

The Saints have been strong offensively so far this season, averaging 45.5 points per game heading into their matchup with the Eagles on Sunday during the NFL's Week 3 schedule. New Orleans shredded the Cowboys' defense last week as running back Alvin Kamara scored four touchdowns in a 44-19 win. He's facing a Philadelphia defense that gave up 97 rushing yards to Falcons running back Bijan Robinson last week. So should you back the Saints as 2.5-point favorites with your Week 3 NFL bets and NFL parlay tips? Eagles vs. Saints has one of six Week 3 NFL spreads smaller than a field goal, so plenty of close games are expected.

The Week 3 NFL schedule concludes with two Monday Night Football games, with Buffalo hosting Jacksonville and Cincinnati taking on Washington. The Bills are 5-point favorites in the Week 3 NFL odds, while the Bengals are 7.5-point favorites.

Top tips for NFL Week 3

We can tell you that Hartstein loves the Buccaneers (-6, 41) when they play the Broncos. Denver has started the season with losses to Seattle and Pittsburgh as rookie quarterback Bo Nix has struggled to find his stride. He has a 35% completion rate and is averaging just 1.3 yards per attempt under pressure this season, and Tampa Bay has the league's second-highest blitz rate through the first two weeks.

Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has completed 73.5% of his passes for 474 yards and five touchdowns, leading his team to victories over Washington and Detroit. Wide receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans continue to be top-notch weapons, while rookie running back Bucky Irving is averaging 5.3 yards per carry. Tampa Bay should dictate the tempo of this game, and its defensive pressure is a big reason Hartstein is betting on the Bucs. See what other NFL parlay picks you should make here.
