The 2-0 Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly making a change on Patrick Mahomes’ blindside, as Wanya Morris will start in the place of rookie Kingsley Suamataia at left tackle when the Chiefs take on the Atlanta Falcons Sunday night, per NFL Media.
Suamataia was selected by the Chiefs with the No. 63 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and won the left tackle job in camp. The BYU product allowed just two sacks on 705 career pass-blocking snaps in college, but was pulled from the Chiefs’ Week 2 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals after allowing two sacks to defensive end Trey Hendrickson.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said this week that both Morris and Suamataia would play vs. Atlanta, and that he hadn’t given up on the rookie.
“We haven’t lost confidence in him,” Reid told reporters. “He was going against a good player, and he’s got to learn from it.”
As for Morris, the former Oklahoma Sooner was selected by Kansas City in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He started in four of 14 games played for the eventual Super Bowl champions last year, and actually caught a touchdown last week vs. Cincinnati off a trick play. He will be charged with containing the experienced Matt Judon on Sunday evening.
The Baltimore Ravens will try to pick up their first win of the season when they face the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday during the Week 3 NFL schedule. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has already accounted for nearly 700 total yards, but it was not enough to beat the Chiefs or Raiders. Jackson’s passing yards total is 217.5 in the Week 3 NFL player props, while his rushing yards over/under is 53.5. That game is expected to be among the highest scoring games of the week with an over-under of 47.5, as Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb are a dangerous duo.
Other games with high totals include Saints vs. Eagles (49.5), Cardinals vs. Lions (51.5), and Falcons vs. Chiefs (46.5). Those games each present opportunities to place Week 3 NFL prop bets on star players, but which ones have the most value for NFL props?

Top 2024 Week 3 NFL prop picks One play PropStarz loves for his NFL Week 3 props is Saints wide receiver Chris Olave over 4.5 receptions against the Eagles. While Olave is off to a slow start with just six receptions through his first two games, there are multiple signs pointing to a turnaround on Sunday. The third-year wideout went over this number in 11 of his 16 games last season, and he remains one of the most heavily involved players in the offense.
He was also not done any favors by the game flow of the first two contests, as New Orleans raced out to big leads and did not need to throw many passes in the second half. The Saints should be in for a more competitive contest on Sunday, which will give Olave more opportunities to catch passes. Philadelphia has allowed the third-most receiving yards to opposing wide receivers, so PropStarz has several reasons to take the Over in this prop.

The NFL loaded up on non-conference matchups on Sunday, as nine of the 13 games feature AFC teams versus NFC teams. Malik Willis could start for his former team, as the Packers are 3-point road underdogs against Tennessee in the latest Week 3 NFL odds. The late afternoon slate has quarterback Skylar Thompson filling in for Tua Tagovailoa (concussion), with Miami as a 4.5-point road underdog in the NFL Vegas odds against Seattle. On Sunday Night Football, the Chiefs are 3-point road favorites in the NFL betting lines as Patrick Mahomes will make his first pro start in Atlanta.
With these interconference battles being unfamiliar NFL matchups, you could certainly utilize NFL betting advice with NFL office pool picks and NFL confidence pool picks. Before you make your NFL predictions, you need to see the Week 3 NFL football pool picks from SportsLine’s proven computer model.
The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season on an incredible 187-130 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 41-22 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of last season.
The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick’em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.
Get football picks for every game from a proven NFL model In Week 3, SportsLine’s advanced computer model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is predicting the Seattle Seahawks (-4.5, 41.5) to win comfortably at home against the Miami Dolphins. Seattle is undefeated, while Miami has recently struggled against winning teams. Over their last 12 games versus teams with above .500 records, the Dolphins are just 3-9 straight-up. Many of those came with Tagovailoa under center, and the dropoff to Thompson has major ramifications on Miami’s best player in Tyreek Hill.
The speedy wideout averages 107 receiving ypg with Tagovailoa as starting QB in Miami, compared to 74.2 ypg when he doesn’t start. Additionally, Hill has zero receiving touchdowns in the five games in which Tagovailoa hasn’t started since he joined the Dolphins. With Hill less of a threat, Seattle can focus its attention on Miami’s running game, which is already limited with Raheem Mostert banged up. Add in the huge home-field advantage that the Seahawks have with Miami flying cross-country, and Seattle is forecasted to win in nearly 70% of simulations.
