Week 3 opened with the San Francisco 49ers (-14.5)
knocking off the New York Giants (+1), 30-12, in a one-sided game on “Thursday Night Football.” The 49ers opened the game with an 85% projected win probability and that number never dipped below 75% at any point during the game—even though San Francisco didn’t separate themselves on the scoreboard until halfway through the second quarter.
On Sunday, the NFL has 13 games scheduled, but the local Detroit audience will only have one game in the 1:00 p.m. slot—like you’d be watching another game anyway—the Atlanta Falcons (+3)
at Detroit Lions (-3) on FOX.
