NFL Week 3: Best Early Round of Games in League History?

The National Football League is king, and it's because of the drama that played out on football fields across the United States for games that kicked off at 1:00 p.m. EDT.

Las Vegas sports books have never experienced a final 30 minutes like this in the early morning round, as every person that placed a wager in one of the early games had a legitimate chance of cashing a ticket. 

Every contest was within a single score up until 3:44 p.m.

Underdog bettors are potentially going to come out with huge scores on the Buffalo Bills (+8), Minnesota Vikings (+3.5) and New York Giants (+9).

New England's spread collapse in Buffalo was truly the most talked-about event around the strip, as quarterback Tom Brady blew a 14-0 first-quarter lead by throwing four interceptions.

The Patriots figured to be sure-fire winners in terms of the betting world, but things quickly change in Sin City.

Minnesota Vikings backers felt pretty confident going into halftime with a double-digit lead as three-point home underdogs, but Detroit Lions bettors were quick to point out that the team has held the same type of lead in the previous two weeks.

The perceived high-scoring events lived up to the billing, as the Houston Texans and New Orleans Saints went up and down the field on each other, while the AFC East air show in Buffalo was exciting from start to finish.

One thing is certain: the NFL is without question the king of U.S. sports.
