It’s impossible to beat perfection, and that’s what the Vikings franchise has obtained versus the Texans franchise. Minnesota is 5-0 straight-up and against the spread all-time against Houston. They’ll match up for a sixth time on Sunday, when the Texans are 1.5-point favorites in the Week 3 NFL odds. Backing the Vikings on the money line and against the spread could be a simple two legs to add to Week 3 NFL parlay picks if you believe both trends will continue.
There are two other AFC South vs. NFC North contests on Sunday, including Colts vs. Bears (+1) and Titans vs. Packers (+2.5). All three AFC South teams are favored, despite none of them having better records than the NFC North teams they’re facing. If you think the NFC North is being undervalued in the Week 3 NFL lines, then you shouldn’t hesitate in adding the Bears and Packers to your NFL betting predictions. Before you make any Week 3 NFL picks or NFL parlays, be sure to see what SportsLine senior analyst Larry Hartstein has to say.
A former lead writer for Covers and The Linemakers, Hartstein combines a vast network of Vegas sources with an analytical approach he honed working for Pro Football Focus. Hartstein tied for 52nd place (out of 1,598 entries) in the 2022 Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest, going 53-34-3 ATS.

He is 2-3-1 with his best bets this season, and anyone who has followed him is way up.
For Week 3, Hartstein has locked in three confident best bets. If you successfully parlay his picks, you’re looking at a payout of over 6-1. You can only see Hartstein’s Week 3 NFL picks at SportsLine.
