Week 3 was vicious for NFL home teams. Seven of last week’s games were won by visiting teams.
But the teams that did win in friendly confines pulled up some big upsets to do so. The Miami Dolphins closed as a four-point underdog before claiming AFC East supremacy over the Buffalo Bills. The Indianapolis Colts were a 6.5-point dog to the Kansas City Chiefs, then rode a special teams imbalance to the first win of the Matt Ryan era. The San Francisco 49ers were 1.5-point favorites in Denver, then lost an 11-10 game at least partially decided by Jimmy Garoppolo forgetting how long a football field is.
