Week 3 in the NFL begins this week with the Atlanta Falcons (0-2) at the Green Bay Packers (1-1) on Thursday Night Football in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Kickoff from Lambeau Field is at 8:15 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let's analyze NFL prop bet odds around the Falcons vs. Packers and tab the 5 best prop bets to go along with SportsbookWire's expert NFL picks and predictions for Week 3.
The Falcons have struggled through 2 games so far. They were blown out 34-3 at home against the Carolina Panthers Sunday as 2.5-point underdogs with the Under (43.5) cashing. QB Cooper Rush started both games, as Michael Penix Jr. had not yet been cleared to play since he tore his ACL last season, and Tua Tagovailoa has been out with an oblique injury. Penix makes his return
on Thursday and will start.
The Packers have been unimpressive so far. After a 39-22 Week 1 defeat at the Minnesota Vikings as 2.5-point underdogs, they beat the New York Jets Sunday 20-17 in OT as 3.5-point road favorites with the Under (44.5) cashing. They scored 10 fourth-quarter points to force overtime.

Falcons at prop bets
Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Last updated at 9:29 a.m. ET.
Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. OVER 0.5 interceptions thrown (-105)
Penix did not throw an interception over his final 5 games in 2025. He had the lowest interception percentage in the league. But in his first start back from his ACL tear, he will be rusty.
Falcons TE Kyle Pitts OVER 3.5 receptions (-105)
Pitts has only 1 catch through 2 games so far. He had 11 games last season with at least 4 receptions, and he should be more productive with Penix back.

Falcons WR Drake London ANYTIME touchdown (+195)
He has not scored yet this season. He went without a TD in his first 3 games last year, but with Penix back, he will get end-zone targets. In Week 1, the Packers allowed Minnesota's No. 1 receiver, Justin Jefferson, to catch 8 passes and score twice.
Packers QB Jordan Love OVER 1.5 TD passes thrown (-125)
Love has thrown 2 TD passes in each of his first 2 games, and he had 7 games in 2025 with at least 2 TD passes. However, he did not do it 3 games in a row last season. Panthers QB Bryce Young threw 3 TD passes against the Falcons last week.
Packers WR Christian Watson 100+ alternate receiving yards (+270)
Watson has cleared 100 receiving yards once this season already, and has done so in 2 of his last 3 regular-season games. The Panthers allowed 101 yards last week to WR Tetairoa McMillan.
