NFL Week 3 Notes

The third week of the 2013 N.F.L. season commences tonight in Philadelphia where the (2-0) Kansas City Chiefs, coached by longtime Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid, visit the (1-1) Eagles.

There are two teams that are favored by more than two touchdowns this week. This is a very rare occurrence in the N.F.L.

Each team is the favorite to win its conference at this very early point in the season.

One big favorite, the (2-0) Seattle Seahawks host the (0-2) Jacksonville Jaguars. In fact, Seattle is about a 19 point favorite, one of the highest lines that I can remember.

The other big favorite, the (2-0) Denver Broncos host to the (1-1) Oakland Raiders on Monday night. This is still a big rivalry and I predict the Raiders will play fairly well.

Rare predictions with margins of victory: Eagles by 7, Seahawks by 13 and Broncos by only four points.
