After 10 outright upsets during the first two weeks of the 2024 NFL season, anyone making NFL office pool picks is adjusting to a shifting landscape. The Ravens were the No. 1 seed in the AFC last year, but they're 0-2 to start the season after losses to the Chiefs and Raiders. Now, Baltimore will travel to Dallas to take on the Cowboys, who are 1-1 but coming off a reality check of their own in a 44-19 loss to the Saints. Which side should you back in that game with your NFL confidence pool picks? The Week 3 NFL schedule is loaded with matchups that the oddsmakers are expecting to be tight, so having help making your Week 3 NFL pool picks could go a long way.

In Week 3, SportsLine's advanced computer model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is predicting the Seattle Seahawks (-4.5) will win comfortably at home against the Miami Dolphins.
Miami opened its season with a come-from-behind win over the Jaguars but they put themselves in a hole they couldn't climb out of in Week 2 against the Bills. To make matters worse, starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered yet another concussion in the second half and there's no timetable for his return.
Skylar Thompson will start in the interim and the 27-year-old has averaged just 5.2 yards per attempt on 119 career passes. The Seattle defense ranks second in the NFL against the pass so far this season, allowing only 257 passing yards in two weeks. That's a big reason why the model says that Seattle wins in well over 70% of simulations, predicting a 28-18 final score on average. See all of SportsLine's Week 3 NFL predictions here.
