Ten NFL teams remain undefeated coming into Week 3 of the 2024-5 NFL season, with upsets and surprises already dominating NFL regular season storylines so far. Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals are surging following a massive 41-10 upset victory in Week 2 over the Los Angeles Rams, 41-10. Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens haven’t won yet coming into Week 3, which doesn’t bode well for their chances of this being the season the team finally breaks out. And the Kansas City Chiefs are still one of the best teams (if not the best) in the league, but the team’s Week 1 and Week 2 victories have been so close (they won by a toe in Week 1 and by a point in Week 2), the reigning Super Bowl champions may be ripe for an upset this season. All that football drama, and it’s only Week 3 of the season.

Our picks for the biggest and best games of NFL Week 3
Week 3 of the 2024-2025 NFL season offers big-time matchups you won’t want to miss. Here are our picks for the top four games of the week, all available to watch live with a subscription to Fubo.
Watch the Houston Texans vs. Minnesota Vikings game free with Fubo
One may have been inclined to count out the Minnesota Vikings this season in the post-Kirk Cousins era. But two games into the regular season, the Vikings are looking good. Defeating the mighty San Francisco 49ers at home in Week 2, complete with a 97-yard Sam Darnold to Justin Jefferson touchdown, has breathed new life into Vikings fans.
Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud proved himself in his rookie season last year and continues to impress. The addition of Stefon Diggs to the Texans offense has fans hoping for another of the NFL’s great quarterback/receiver duos.
Both teams come into Week 3 undefeated, making this one of our favorite matchups of the weekend.
- Houston Texans vs. Minnesota Vikings
- Sunday, September 22 at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT)

Watch the Philadelphia Eagles vs. New Orleans Saints game free with Fubo
Derek Carr and the New Orleans Saints are riding high following their epic 44-19 Week 2 victory over the stunned Dallas Cowboys. Undefeated coming into the weekend, the Saints are looking like bonafide AFC contenders. They face a worthy adversary in the Philadelphia Eagles, who have shaken off last year’s Super Bowl loss. While the Eagles hope to dominate the NFC again this season, their late-game Week 2 “Monday Night Football” loss to the Atlanta Falcons will have the birds scrambling for a win this week.
- Philadelphia Eagles vs. New Orleans Saints
- Sunday, September 22 at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT)
- Fox/Fubo
Watch the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Atlanta Falcons game free with Fubo
The Chiefs come into Week 3 undefeated following two “it could have gone either way” victories in Week 1 and Week 2. But the reigning Super Bowl champions are still one of the most dominant teams in the league, and quarterback Patrick Mahomes seems to get even better with time. Meanwhile, the Falcons’ 22-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday, complete with Kirk Cousins’ 70-yard game-winning drive, is a reminder of what Cousins is capable of. The Falcons are going to want to keep up the momentum gained in Week 2, giving this “Sunday Night Football” game the potential to become a real showdown.
- Kansas City Chiefs vs. Atlanta Falcons
- Sunday, September 22 at 8:20 p.m. ET (5:20 p.m. PT)
- NBC/Fubo
The Bengals may be down two games coming into Week 3, but Joe Burrow’s performance against the Chiefs in Week 2 is a reminder of just how good he (and this team) can be. Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels scored a much-needed first win last week against the New York Giants, showing poise under pressure. While Week 3 offers two “Monday Night Football” matchups (the Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Buffalo Bills game will be played at 7:30 p.m. ET and air on ESPN and Fubo), if we’re choosing one game of the night we choose the Washington Commanders vs. Cincinnati Bengals game.
- Washington Commanders vs. Cincinnati Bengals
- Monday, September 23 @ 8:15 p.m. ET (5:15 p.m. PT)
