Week 3 pick'em questions
How many NFL games are in Week 3 of 2026?
There are 16 games scheduled in Week 3, from Thursday, September 24 through Monday, September 28. Teams on a bye do not appear on this page.
When do the Week 3 games kick off?
Week 3 breaks down as 1 in the Thursday Night window, 9 in the Sunday Early window, 4 in the Sunday Late window, 1 in the Sunday Night window, 1 in the Monday Night window. All times on this page are Eastern; use the local-time button to convert.
What does the spread mean for pick'em?
The spread is the number of points the favorite is expected to win by. In a straight-up pool it is only a guide. In an against-the-spread pool the favorite must win by more than the spread for that pick to count.
When do picks lock in Week 3?
Most pools lock each game at its own kickoff, so Thursday picks lock first and Monday picks last. Check your pool rules, because some commissioners lock the whole week before the first Sunday game.
Where do the lines on this page come from?
Spreads, moneylines and totals are pulled from a major US sportsbook and refreshed several times a week. They are shown for reference; NFL Pickem Hub does not take bets.
