Welcome back to the BetPulse Index by Betting.us — the weekly consensus of NFL futures odds that tracks how the market reacts after every game.
Each week we average prices from six of the largest U.S. sportsbooks — FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, Caesars, bet365, and ESPN Bet — to provide a clear, neutral view of sentiment. Like a stock market wrap, the Index reveals who’s rising, who’s falling, and which teams or players are catching attention.
With Week 3 in the books, the markets have already redrawn the NFL futures picture. Philadelphia stayed unbeaten with a wild 19-point comeback capped by two blocked field goals vs. Los Angeles, while Jonathan Taylor’s three-TD day lit up the boards.
