The Bible isn't a good prediction of age.
Seth lives to be 912 years of age. (Gensis 5:8 )
Enosh lived to be 905 years of age. (Gensis 5:11)
Reu had a son at 32 then lived another 207 years living to be 239 years of age. (Gensis 11:20-21)
Abraham lived to be 175 years of age (Gensis 25:7)
Also the passage you noted, Gensis 6:3, is often seen as referring to the amount of time from when God determined to destroy mankind to when God sent a global flood and not the lifetime of humans mandated by God.
