Bookies.com analyzed each contest on the 272-game regular season schedule and ranked every NFL game based on its watchability to create our Bookies.com Watchability Index (BWI).
We use an algorithm that factors in NFL betting lines, projected wins, and Super Bowl odds, plus the game day atmosphere/weather, major off-field storylines, and the game’s availability on national TV or streaming service.
The Week 3 NFL 2025 Watchability Index features a postseason rematch and a Super Bowl 60 preview. The LA Rams return to Lincoln Financial Field, where they lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion Eagles in the NFC Divisional round.

Playoff Matchups Past and Future (?) Top List
The LA Rams and Eagles remain undefeated heading into their playoff rematch. The Eagles won that game in the cold and snow 28-22. At least the Rams should find more desirable weather conditions this week.
Two of the league’s most frustrated fan bases will spend Monday night glued to ESPN. The Detroit Lions visit the Baltimore Ravens, two teams that have flirted with Super Bowl berths in recent years. All the while raking in big-money futures wins for the books.
Both regressed last postseason. Neither got out of the divisional round. The Ravens and Bills are among the Super Bowl favorites at DraftKings. Baltimore is +500 to win it all, while the Lions are +1000.
These two teams combined for 93 points in Week 2, but don't expect a guaranteed offensive display. Each will rely on its defense to make a run in January.
Saints vs. Seahawks Rank At The Bottom In Week 3
The New York Giants, Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans appeared 5 times on our Top 25 Least Watchable Games list this preseason. This week, the bottom spot is occupied by the Saints-Seahawks matchup.
The Bills 12.5-point line against Miami this week is the largest live line this season and matched their preseason line against New Orleans in Week 4.

How We Did It
Multiple factors were used in creating an algorithm for the Bookies.com Watchability Index. Each of the 272 games on the NFL schedule were scored (and recalculated weekly) for the following:
- WIN DISPARITY: Projected Win Totals Combined; Minus Win Total Disparity
- ADJUSTED SB ODDS: Weighted Average of Each Team’s Odds To Win The Super Bowl at BetMGM, with the most points going to the team (Buffalo) favored to win the Super Bowl. And the least points given the longest shot on the board (Cleveland).
- POINT SPREAD: Weighted point spread for each game. A pick’em gets 20 points, a 1-point spread 19 points, a 2-point spread 18 points, and so on.
Individual matchups were also awarded 3 points each if they included:
- Are scheduled in prime time or in a national network slot; or are available on Amazon Prime or Netflix
- Include a major secondary storyline in addition to the game itself (i.e. Aaron Rodgers’ return to the NFL; a playoff rematch; a traditional rivalry; or offer a potential playoff preview, etc.)
- Have potential for extreme weather, or an impactful crowd
- Ties are broken by point spread, with the lower point spread being deemed more watchable.
